What do the sin offering, burnt offering, and the grain offering symbolize?

Lévitique 14:19 (NEG79)

19 Puis le sacrificateur offrira le sacrifice d'expiation; et il fera l'expiation pour celui qui se purifie de sa souillure.

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.
