{Leviticus
Chapter 4 - Three Non-Sweet Savor/Smell Offerings
(Sweet Savor Offerings - Represents Divine Viewpoint -
Burnt Offerings (Ch 1), Gift Offerings (Ch 2), and Peace Offering

Emphasis on the Unknown Sins of the Believer - Unknown Sins in
Chapter 4 are Broken Down by Categories of People Who Do the
Sinning }
1-2~~And
Jehovah/God spoke/'communicated doctrine categorically'
{dabar - Piel/intensive stem - dabar means 'to set up in a row'/'to
present categorically' - the stem is intensive because Divine
Viewpoint - the Mind of God/Christ was presented}
unto
Moses, saying
{'amar - means to 'bring to light' - from the Mind of God to the
mind of Moses to writing the first 5 books of the bible and to
speak to transfer into the minds of the people}, 2~~
"
'Communicate doctrine categorically'/Speak
{dabar - Piel/intensive imperative/command}
unto
the children of Israel, saying
{'amar - Qal stem - means to teach when in the Qal stem},
'If
a soul
{nephesh - doctrine must be stored categorically in the soul of the
believer}
shall
sin through ignorance
{chata' sh@gagah - sin through ignorance means lack of knowledge
of doctrine mentality does not realize this is a sin so it is not
confessed - unknown sins}
-
which ought not to be done -
against
any of the commandments of Jehovah/God
and
shall do against any of them . . .
{Verses
3-12: Categories of People Who Commit Unknown Sins - the Priests}
3~~".
. . if the priest who is anointed
{he would be from the tribe of Levi}
does
sin
{from verse 1 we know this is an unknown sin in view
so would do this offering periodically to show he
understands the principal of rebound}
-
according to the sin of the people -
then
let him bring for his sin,
which
he has sinned,
a
young bull without blemish unto Jehovah/God
for
a sin offering.' "
{Note: The Levitical Priests were prominent. So when they sinned it affected many. Therefore the bull was offered because it was the highly prized/expensive offering.}
4~~"And
he {the priest who committed an unknown sin}
shall
bring the bull unto the door
of
the tabernacle of the congregation before Jehovah/God;
{where the Brazen Laver is located. This allows thousands to view
the ritual and learn even the priests are human and sin and must
rebound directly to God}
and
shall lay his hand upon the bull's head
{no sins are named because these are unknown sins},
and
kill the bull before Jehovah/God."
{Note: In the next Chapter (5:5) you will see a confession is made. Here we have unknown sins which the Priests then are therefore unable to confess!}
{Note: There are two things at the door - the Brazen Altar and the Brazen Laver. The altar speaks of the cross where our sins were judged. The laver, a large brass basin for washing, speaks of rebound - confession of our sins to God - I John 1:9.}
{Verses
5-7: Significance of the Blood}
5-7~~"And
the priest who is anointed shall take of the bull's blood
{represents the spiritual death of Christ on the cross},
and
bring it to the tabernacle of the congregation. 6~~
And
the priest shall dip his finger in the blood,
and
sprinkle of the blood seven times before Jehovah/God,
before
the veil of the sanctuary
{'Sanctuary' refers to the Tabernacle or Temple. The Holy of Holies
is behind a second veil. The priest can go into the first Sanctuary
but not the Holy of Holies. When Christ was on the
cross, the veil was split by God from the top. It was said to be 70
feet tall and two feet thick. Also, 'seven' is the 'perfect' number.
What Christ did on the cross was perfect.}. 7~~
And
the priest shall put some of the blood
upon
the horns of the altar of sweet incense before Jehovah/God . . .
{this is a golden altar of incense represents the ministry of Christ in
intercession and generally stands for prayer - reminded them that
only believers have the right of prayer}
which
is in the tabernacle of the congregation;
and
shall pour all the blood of the bull
at
the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering,
which
is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation."
{Inner

all the fat that is upon the inwards, 9~~
and
the two kidneys {volition}, and the fat that is upon them,
which
is by the flanks {confidence},
and
the 'membrane {translucent Super Abundance of glory}
over
the liver' {yothereth},
with
the kidneys, it shall he take away, 10~~

it was taken off from the bull of the sacrifice of peace offerings.
And
the priest shall burn them upon the altar of the burnt offering."
{Outer
Part of the offering}
11-12~~"And
the skin of the bull
{impeccability - outward perfection},
and
all his flesh, with his head,
and
with his legs, and his inwards, and his dung, 12~~
even
the whole bull shall he carry forth outside the camp
{outside represents that Jesus was separated completely on the
cross - forsaken by the Godhead, angels, humans - no one could
help Him},
unto
a clean place
where
the ashes are poured out
{ashes represent completion - the wrath/fire of God on the sins
of the world was finished - they were all judged},
and
burn him on the wood with fire
-
where the ashes are poured out -
shall
he be burnt."

if the whole congregation of Israel

any
of the commandments of Jehovah/God
concerning
things which should not be done, and are guilty; 14 ~~
when

he did with the bull for a sin offering,
so
shall he do with this.
And
the priest shall make an atonement for them,
and
has received forgiveness/pardoning {calach}
for
them {the unknown sins}
{calach - Niphal/passive and perfect tense - the future is so
certain that it is considered already complete - all sins before or
after the cross were judged on the cross and forgiveness
was given by God - the action is complete}."
21~~
"And he shall carry forth the bull without the camp,
