In Leviticus 6, mention is made of restitution when something is stolen, the full amount of the item stolen must be returned in addition to a restitution tax. Discussion are also made of the regulations for the Burnt, Grain and Sin Offerings for Aaron and his sons. See February 16th and 17th Readings for further discussion.

In Leviticus 7, there are the regulations for the Guilt, Fellowship Offerings for Aaron and his sons.

How are these Five Offerings related to each other? In the Old Testament times,when a person sins and needs forgiveness, a sin or guilt offering is presented. After forgiveness is received the person wants to consecrate himself to God and worship, then a burnt offering or grain offering is presented. Since fellowship with God is restored, then the forgiven sinner can have fellowship with God and his neighbor, a fellowship offering is presented.

Today, all purposes of these Five Offerings are fulfilled in Jesus Christ. He is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.(John 2:29,36). The term Lamb of God refers to the sacrifices and not to any of
the Five Main Offerings.
