The guilt offering
The Hebrew term for "guilt offering" is "אָשָׁם" (asham), which signifies a sacrifice made for atonement of specific sins, particularly those involving desecration of holy things or unintentional transgressions against God's commandments. This offering underscores the gravity of sin and the necessity of restitution, reflecting God's justice and mercy. It serves as a reminder of the need for repentance and the provision of grace through sacrificial atonement, foreshadowing Christ's ultimate sacrifice.

is like the sin offering
The Hebrew word for "sin offering" is "חַטָּאת" (chatta'ath), which refers to a sacrifice made for purification from sin. The comparison between the guilt offering and the sin offering highlights their shared purpose in addressing sin and restoring the sinner's relationship with God. Both offerings emphasize the seriousness of sin and the need for divine forgiveness, pointing to the comprehensive nature of God's redemptive plan.

the same law applies to both
This phrase indicates that the regulations governing the guilt offering and the sin offering are identical, emphasizing the consistency and fairness of God's law. It reflects the principle that all sin, whether intentional or unintentional, requires atonement. This consistency in the law underscores God's unchanging nature and His desire for holiness among His people.

It belongs to the priest
The portion of the offering that belongs to the priest signifies the provision for those who serve in the temple, ensuring their sustenance as they fulfill their sacred duties. This allocation underscores the principle of supporting those who minister in spiritual matters, a concept echoed in the New Testament where Paul speaks of the right of those who preach the gospel to receive their living from the gospel (1 Corinthians 9:14).

who makes atonement with it
The act of making atonement involves the priest mediating between God and the people, symbolically transferring the sin of the individual to the sacrificial animal. This process highlights the role of the priest as an intercessor and points to the ultimate High Priest, Jesus Christ, who made atonement for humanity through His sacrificial death. The concept of atonement is central to the Christian faith, emphasizing reconciliation with God and the restoration of fellowship through the shedding of blood.

(7) There is one law for them.--That is, the same rule, as stated in Leviticus 6:27-28, applies to both the sin offering and the trespass offering; hence what is omitted in the regulation of the one must be supplied from the directions given in the other.

Verses 7-10 contain a general precept or note as to the priests' portion in the sin offering, trespass offering, burnt offering, and meat offering. The officiating priest was to have the flesh of the trespass offering and of the sin offering (except the fat burnt on the altar), and the skin of the burnt offering and the cooked meat offerings (except the memorial burnt on the altar), while the meat offerings of flour and of parched grains, which could be kept longer, were to be the property of the priestly body in general, all the sons of Aaron,... one as much as another. The skins of the peace offerings were retained by the offerer ('Mishna, Sebaeh,' 12, 3).
