It is a guilt offering
The term "guilt offering" in Hebrew is "אָשָׁם" (asham), which refers to a specific type of sacrifice in the Levitical system. This offering was distinct from the sin offering and was primarily concerned with making restitution for wrongs committed, particularly those involving the desecration of holy things or breaches of trust. The guilt offering underscores the seriousness of sin and the need for atonement and reconciliation with God. It highlights the principle that sin incurs a debt that must be paid, reflecting the justice and holiness of God. In the broader biblical narrative, this offering foreshadows the ultimate sacrifice of Christ, who paid the debt of sin once and for all.

he was certainly guilty
The phrase "certainly guilty" emphasizes the certainty and acknowledgment of guilt before God. The Hebrew word used here is "אָשֵׁם" (asham), which is closely related to the word for guilt offering. This repetition underscores the reality of human sinfulness and the need for confession and repentance. It is a reminder that sin is not merely a mistake or a lapse in judgment but a serious offense against a holy God. The acknowledgment of guilt is the first step toward receiving God's forgiveness and grace. This concept is foundational in the Christian faith, where confession and repentance lead to redemption through Christ.

before the LORD
The phrase "before the LORD" indicates that the guilt and the offering are not just a matter of human relationships but are ultimately about one's standing before God. The Hebrew word for "LORD" is "יְהוָה" (YHWH), the covenant name of God, which signifies His eternal, self-existent nature and His relationship with His people. This phrase reminds believers that all sin is ultimately against God, and it is before Him that we must seek forgiveness. It also reassures us of God's willingness to forgive and restore those who come to Him with a contrite heart. The presence of the LORD in this context is both a source of conviction and comfort, as it assures us of His justice and mercy.

(19) It is a trespass offering.--That is, though the prescribed fifth part is here dispensed with, it is still a trespass offering, for his conscience tells him that he has trespassed against the Lord.
