Leviticus 7:1

Leviticus 7:1 says, Likewise this is the law of the trespass offering: it is most holy.  The law of the trespass offering was said to be most holy.  A trespass would be a deliberate sin against God I believe, and even if our actions are against a neighbor, they are ultimately against God if the are wrong.  Verse two adds, In the place where they kill the burnt offering shall they kill the trespass offering: and the blood thereof shall he sprinkle round about upon the altar.  The trespass offering was to be killed in the same place that the burnt offering was killed.  I believe that we can say that all offerings we make today as Christians are made at the same place, and that is at the foot of the cross of Jesus.  Verse three continues, And he shall offer of it all the fat thereof; the rump, and the fat that covereth the inwards,  Verse four concludes, And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the caul that is above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away:  These two verses give the specifics of what was to be offered.  As with all the sacrifices, God set the terms of what was to be sacrificed.  Today, it is simple.  We offer all that we are and all that we have to God through our faith in Christ as our Savior and Lord.  Verse five states, And the priest shall burn them upon the altar for an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a trespass offering. The offering was to be burned like the trespass offerings had been on the altar, just as the peace offerings had been burned.  Verse six adds, Every male among the priests shall eat thereof: it shall be eaten in the holy place: it is most holy.  Evidently the fire was not to consume this offering, or this refers to the rest of the sacrifice that was not consumed by the fire.  The priest were to be allowed to eat of the sacrifice together in the holy place.  This would bring them both food and fellowship with each other in the presence of God.  We still need that sustenance and fellowship with God and our fellow believers today.  Verse seven continues, As the sin offering is, so is the trespass offering: there is one law for them: the priest that maketh atonement therewith shall have it.  The people were told then and we are told today that there was one law for all the offerings, and that was the law of God.  We know today that all sins are forgiven the same way, and that is by coming to Jesus Christ and confessing our sins, and all sin can only be forgiven this way.  Verse eight says, And the priest that offereth any man’s burnt offering, even the priest shall have to himself the skin of the burnt offering which he hath offered.  The priest who offered the offering was to have the skin of the burnt offering.  This would be of use to the priest, and it was not to be divided among the priests.  God does not give all of His followers the same things materially, but He does provide for all their needs if they put their faith in Him.  Verse nine adds, And all the meat offering that is baken in the oven, and all that is dressed in the fryingpan, and in the pan, shall be the priest’s that offereth it.  If the offering was of flour then all that was left from preparing the offering was to belong to the priest offering it.  Then verse ten concludes, And every meat offering, mingled with oil, and dry, shall all the sons of Aaron have, one as much as another.  Matthew Henry says that this refers to those parts of the sacrifice that did not need to be consumed immediately.  We do know that some of the sacrifice was to be consumed in the holy place and by the priest on duty and some was to be shared with all the priests.  Today, some of what God blesses us with will be for our own use and some will be for sharing with others.  I believe that if we are listening to God that we will know how to use what He blesses us with.
