FURTHER RULES

We have already looked at the grain offering, sin offering, and guilt offering, yet after all the instructions have been given, Adonai gives additional instructions and restrictions. Concerning the grain offering, the priests were to burn a small portion of it as a reminder while the remaining part of the offering was for the priests and their male descendants. The addition we read of in this section, though, was for when the priests offered this offering for themselves. When the priests offered the grain offering, the entire offering was placed and burnt on the altar. On the first day of his service when the people anointed him into his office, the chief priest prepared the grain offering and proceeded in the ceremony.
The same is true of the sin offering in that we see pieces of clarification and instruction beyond what we have already read. In this passage we learn that there are two types of sin offering. The priests were not to eat of the sin offering which was for atonement in the holy places, but they were allowed to consume of any other sin offering offered by the people unto Adonai.
Lastly in this portion we read of further details for the guilt offering. Originally read in Leviticus 5:14-6:7, we see in this additional piece what the priest must do when offering a ram. As with the other animals offered, the priests were to offer all the fat and inner parts to Adonai. After the fat, liver, and kidneys were burned, the men in the priest’s family were allowed to eat the meat. In each of the offerings where meat was included, Adonai allowed the men to consume a portion or take a piece with them (the whole offering allowed them to have the animal’s leather). In this, Adonai provided for the Levities.
These further instructions and rules give us not only the assurance that Adonai cares for His people, but also continue to show us that He sets before His people a proper way of doing things. When obeyed, Adonai is pleased with His people and brings blessing upon them.
