Leviticus 6: This Is the Law...

The instructions of the previous chapters regarding five kinds of sacrifices (some voluntary, some mandatory) were not merely suggestions. “This is the law”  is a reminder that even voluntary things are to be done according to the rules that God gives. We are never free to operate outside the law of God and expect His blessing at the same time. The law applied to the offender and to the priests who were involved in the offering.
