one as a sin offering
The Hebrew term for "sin offering" is "חַטָּאת" (chatta'ath), which signifies a sacrifice made to atone for sin. In the context of Leviticus, the sin offering is a crucial part of the purification process, symbolizing the removal of sin and impurity. This offering underscores the seriousness of sin and the need for divine forgiveness. Historically, the sin offering was a tangible reminder of the Israelites' need for holiness and the grace of God in providing a means for reconciliation.

and the other as a burnt offering
The "burnt offering," or "עֹלָה" (olah) in Hebrew, represents complete surrender and dedication to God. Unlike the sin offering, which was partially consumed by the priests, the burnt offering was entirely consumed by fire, symbolizing total devotion and the worshiper's desire to be wholly pleasing to God. This offering reflects the believer's call to live a life fully dedicated to the Lord, acknowledging His sovereignty and grace.

together with the grain offering
The "grain offering," known as "מִנְחָה" (minchah) in Hebrew, was an offering of fine flour, oil, and frankincense. It accompanied the burnt offering and symbolized the fruits of one's labor and gratitude to God. The inclusion of the grain offering highlights the importance of offering not just one's self but also the work of one's hands to God, recognizing Him as the provider of all blessings.

In this way the priest will make atonement
The role of the priest in making "atonement" (כָּפַר, kaphar) is central to the sacrificial system. Atonement involves covering or purging sin, allowing the individual to be reconciled with God. The priest acts as a mediator, pointing to the ultimate High Priest, Jesus Christ, who makes perfect atonement for humanity's sins. This process emphasizes the necessity of mediation and the grace of God in restoring fellowship with Him.

before the LORD
The phrase "before the LORD" (לִפְנֵי יְהוָה, lifnei Yahweh) signifies the presence of God, where the offerings are presented. It underscores the holiness and reverence required in worship and the understanding that all acts of atonement and worship are ultimately directed towards God Himself. This phrase reminds believers of the omnipresence of God and the importance of living a life that is pleasing in His sight.

for the one to be cleansed
The concept of being "cleansed" (טָהֵר, taher) is central to the Levitical laws, representing both physical and spiritual purification. This cleansing is not merely a ritualistic act but a profound transformation that allows the individual to re-enter the community and worship God freely. It points to the deeper spiritual cleansing available through Christ, who purifies believers from all unrighteousness, enabling them to stand blameless before God.
