according to the measure and estimation of the sin. And the priest shall
pray for him, because he did it ignorantly: And it shall be forgiven

5:19. Because by mistake he trespassed against the Lord.

Leviticus Chapter 6

Oblation for sins of injustice: ordinances concerning the holocausts and
the perpetual fire: the sacrifices of the priests, and the sin
offerings.

6:1. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

6:2. Whosoever shall sin, and despising the Lord, shall deny to his
neighbour the thing delivered to his keeping, which was committed to his
trust; or shall by force extort any thing, or commit oppression;

consumed to dust in a very clean place.

6:12. And the fire on the altar shall always burn, and the priest shall

holocaust, shall burn thereupon the fat of the peace offerings.

6:13. This is the perpetual fire which shall never go out on the altar.

The perpetual fire... This fire came from heaven, (infra. chap. 9.24,)
and was always kept burning on the altar, as a figure of the heavenly
fire of divine love, which ought to be always burning in the heart of a

6:14. This is the law of the sacrifice and libations, which the children
of Aaron shall offer before the L
