Leviticus 5:1–19 introduces to the reader the integral part that confession of sin is held within sacrificial worship. The worshipper needed to display a broken and contrite heart which would in turn lead him to confess it aloud. Confession, as revealed in this chapter, includes an acknowledgement of one's sins and one's responsibility for those sins. This attitude on the part of the worshipper was essential if the offering was to be efficacious. Confession of sin, particularly sins of omission, must still form a part of our worship today. After all, New testament believers have the promise, If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness
(1 John 1:9).
13 C'est ainsi que le sacrificateur fera pour cet homme l'expiation du péché qu'il a commis à l'égard de l'une de ces choses, et il lui sera pardonné. Ce qui restera de l'offrande sera pour le sacrificateur, comme dans l'offrande en don.
