The final act of the restoration ceremony was a series of sacrifices made by the priest on the Israelite’s behalf. These are the three standard sacrifices for the community: the sin offering (Leviticus 4:1 – 5:19), the burnt offering (Leviticus 1:1–17), and the grain offering (Leviticus 2:1–16). Only the peace offerings (Leviticus 3:1–17), which were almost always voluntary, is missing. These offerings symbolize that the Israelite, who was once unclean, has been fully restored to the covenant community and the Lord. He is able to fully participate in the tabernacle, the dwelling place of God.
19 The priest shall offer the sin offering, to make atonement for him who is to be cleansed from his uncleanness. And afterward he shall kill the burnt offering.
