THE TORAH
LEVITICUS
VAYIKRA
Leviticus (Vayikra in Hebrew), the third book in the Torah (First five books of Moses). Vayikra or Leviticus means “And G-d Called.”
Be enlightened in this book, that G-d is holy. Thus, requires him who comes or approaches G-d must be holy. Given this instruction, the Kohanim (Priests) are called to be intermediaries between G-d and the Children of Israel.
Offerings or sacrifices are elaborated in great lengths in the entire book of Leviticus. Now, does this aligns with how Jesus was offered? Let’s find out…
Chapter 5
Leviticus Chapter 5 Gives the Account of What May Appear to be Petty yet Serious Offense
Sin Is Not A Joke In The Eyes Of G-d
For He Sees Your Every Deed
*At first you might feel good and be bothered by it the latter
But once you get used to it guilt will be diminished until it disappears
So imagine worshiping a man-made G-d that the One True G-d never ever mentioned let alone commanded.
Even mentioning its name is forbidden (Exodus 20:3-5 & 23:13).
Think. Do not just believe blindly pretending to be ignorant or innocent.
“The Variable-offering”
“Contamination of the Sanctuary and its Sancities”
“Spoken Oath”
“Guilt-offering”
If a person will sin: If he accepted a demand for an oath, and he is a witness – either he saw or he knew – if he does not testify, he shall bear his iniquity:
5:1
When one shall become guilty regarding one of these matters, he shall confess what he had sinned.
:5
He shall bring as his guilt-offering to Hashem, for his sin that he committed, a female from the flock – a sheep or a goat – for a sin-offering; and the Kohen shall provide him atonement for his sin.
:6
But if his means are insufficient for a sheep or goat, then he shall bring as his guilt-offering for that which he sinned: two turtledoves or two young doves to Hashem, one for a sin-offering and one for a burnt-offering.
:7
He shall bring them to the Kohen, who shall offer first the one that is for a sin-offering; he shall nip its head at its nape, but not separate it.
:8
He shall sprinkle from the blood of the sin-offering upon the wall of the Altar, and the remainder of the blood he shall press out toward the base of the Altar it is a sin-offering.
:9
But if his means are insufficient for two turtledoves or for two young doves, then he shall bring, as his guilt-offering for that which he sinned, a tenth-ephah of fine flour for a sin-offering; he shall not place oil on it nor shall he put frankincense on it, for it is a sin-offering.
:11
He shall bring it to the Kohen, and the Kohen shall scoop his threefingersful as its memorial portion and cause it to go up in smoke on the Altar, on the fires of Hashem; it is a sin-offering.
:12
If a person will sin and will commit one of all the commandments of Hashem that may not be done, but did not know and became guilty, he shall bear his iniquity;
:17
Hashem spoke to Moses, saying: If a person will sin and commit a treachery against Hashem by lying to his fellow regarding a pledge or a loan or a robbery; or by defrauding his fellow;
:20-21
or he found a lost item and denied it – and he swore falsely about any of all the things that a person can do and sin thereby –
:22
… – he shall repay its principal and add its fifth to it; he shall give it to its owner on the day he admits his guilt.
:24
The Kohen shall provide him atonement before Hashem, and it shall be forgiven him for any of all the things he might do to incur guilt.
:26
1 If a person sins, whereby he accepts an oath, and he is a witness [to some matter] by seeing or knowing [it], yet he does not testify, he shall bear his transgression;
2 Or if a person touches anything unclean, whether it is the carcass of an unclean wild animal, or the carcass of an unclean domestic animal, or the carcass of an unclean creeping animal, and it was hidden from him, he incurs guilt.
3 Or if he touches the uncleanness of a human, with any uncleanness through which he may become defiled, and it is hidden from him and [later] he knows, he has incurred guilt;
4 Or if a person swears, expressing with [his] lips to do harm or to do good, whatever a man may express in an oath, and it is hidden from him and [later] he knows, he is guilty in any one of these cases.
5 And it shall be, when someone incurs guilt in any one of these cases, that he shall confess the sin which he had committed,
6 and he shall bring his guilt offering to the Lord for his sin which he had committed, a female [animal] from the flock either a sheep or a goat, for a sin offering. And the kohen shall make atonement from his sin.
7 But if he cannot afford a sheep, he shall bring as his guilt offering for that [sin] that he had committed, two turtle doves or two young doves before the Lord, one for a sin offering, and one for a burnt offering.
8 He shall bring them to the kohen, who shall first offer up that [bird] which is [designated] for the sin offering. He shall cut its head [by piercing with his nail] opposite the back of its head, but shall not separate [it].
9 He shall sprinkle from the blood of the sin offering on the wall of the altar, and the remainder of the blood shall be pressed out onto the base of the altar. It is a sin offering.
10 And he shall offer up the second one as a burnt offering, according to the law. Thus the kohen shall make atonement for him, from his sin which he had committed, and he shall be forgiven.
11 But if he cannot afford two turtle doves or two young doves, then he shall bring as his sacrifice for his sin one tenth of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering. He shall not put oil over it, nor shall he place frankincense upon it, for it is a sin offering.
12 He shall bring it to the kohen, and the kohen shall scoop out a fistful as its reminder, and cause it to [go up in] smoke on the altar, upon the fires of the Lord. It is a sin offering.
13 Thus the kohen shall make atonement for his sin that he committed in any one of these [cases], and he shall be forgiven. And it shall belong to the kohen like the meal offering.
14 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
15 If a person commits a betrayal and trespasses unintentionally against [one] of the things sacred to the Lord, he shall bring as his guilt offering to the Lord an unblemished ram from the flock with a value of silver shekels, in accordance with the shekel of the Sanctuary for a guilt offering.
16 And what he has trespassed against the holy thing he shall pay, and he shall add one fifth of its value to it, and he shall give it to the kohen. The kohen shall then make atonement for him through the ram of the guilt offering, and he shall be forgiven.
17 If a person sins and commits one of the commandments of the Lord which may not be committed, but he does not know, he is guilty, and he shall bear his transgression.
18 He shall bring an unblemished ram from the flock, with the value for a guilt offering, to the kohen. The kohen shall then make atonement for his unintentional sin which he committed and did not know, and he shall be forgiven.
19 It is a guilt offering he has incurred guilt before the Lord.
20 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
21 If a person sins, betraying the Lord by falsely denying to his fellow concerning a deposit, or money given in hand, or an object taken by robbery, or he withheld funds from his fellow,
22 or he found a lost article and he denied it and swore falsely regarding any one of all these cases whereby a man may sin,
23 and it shall be, when he has sinned and is guilty, that he shall return the article which he had robbed, or the funds which he had withheld, or the item which had been deposited with him, or the article which he had found;
24 or anything else, regarding which he had sworn falsely, he shall pay it with its principal, adding its fifths to it. He shall give it to its rightful owner on the day [he repents for] his guilt.
25 He shall then bring his guilt offering to the Lord: an unblemished ram from the flock with the [same] value, for a guilt offering, to the kohen.
26 And the kohen shall make atonement for him before the Lord, and he shall be forgiven for any one of all [cases] whereby one may commit [a sin], incurring guilt through it.

TORAH
(Law)
The book of Deuteronomy, also known as Devarim in Hebrew (“Words”), is the fifth book of the Hebrew Bible or the Christian Old Testament. It contains a series of speeches by Moses to the Israelites, just before they are about to enter the promised land, which summarize and expand upon many of the laws and commandments given in the earlier books of the Torah. The word Deuteronomy literally means “second law,” indicating that Moses is rehearsing the law with the Israelites before they enter the land.
The book is often seen as a sort of farewell address by Moses, containing some of his final instructions and blessings to the people he has led for many years. It emphasizes the importance of following G-d’s commandments and remaining faithful to Him, while warning against the dangers of disobedience and idolatry. Overall, Deuteronomy serves as a significant text in the history of Judaism and Christianity, containing many of the foundational beliefs and values of these religions.
