Even the land was defiled; so I punished it for its sin, and the land vomited out its inhabitants.
-
With the ram of the guilt offering the priest is to make atonement for him before the Lord for the sin he has committed, and his sin will be forgiven.
-
Punishments for Sin
The Lord said to Moses,
-
or an unmarried sister who is dependent on him since she has no husband—for her he may make himself unclean.
-
Then sacrifice one male goat for a sin offering and two lambs, each a year old, for a fellowship offering.

The Sabbath Year
The Lord said to Moses at Mount Sinai,
-
You are to buy from your own people on the basis of the number of years since the Jubilee. And they are to sell to you on the basis of the number of years left for harvesting crops.
-
they are to determine the value for the years since they sold it and refund the balance to the one to whom they sold it; they can then go back to their own property.
-
“‘If after all this you will not listen to me, I will punish you for your sins seven times over.
-
“‘If you remain hostile toward me and refuse to listen to me, I will multiply your afflictions seven times over, as your sins deserve.
-
I myself will be hostile toward you and will afflict you for your sins seven times over.
-
then in my anger I will be hostile toward you, and I myself will punish you for your sins seven times over.

“‘No one, however, may dedicate the firstborn of an animal, since the firstborn already belongs to the Lord; whether an ox or a sheep, it is the Lord’s.

The Census

The Levites
This is the account of the family of Aaron and Moses at the time the Lord spoke to Moses at Mount Sinai.
-
Nadab and Abihu, however, died before the Lord when they made an offering with unauthorized fire before him in the Desert of Sinai. They had no sons, so Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests during the lifetime of their father Aaron.
-
The Lord said to Moses in the Desert of Sinai,
-
and must confess the sin they have committed. They must make full restitution for the wrong they have done, add a fifth of the value to it and give it all to the person they have wronged.
