SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:12
La traerá, pues , al sacerdote, y el sacerdote tomará de ella su puño lleno, en memoria suya, y hará perfume sobre el altar sobre las otras ofrendas encendidas al SEÑOR; y esto será expiación.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 12. Then shall he bring it to the priest , etc.] The flour just as it was, not kneaded and made into a cake, as appears by what follows: and the priest shall take his handful of it ; as much of the flour as he could hold in one hand: [even] a memorial thereof ; to bring to mind his sin, and the goodness of God in admitting of an offering for it, and forgiving it upon that: and burn [it] on the altar, according to the offerings made by fire unto the Lord ; in the same manner as other burnt offerings were made: it [is] a sin [offering] ; or an expiatory sacrifice for sin.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-13 - The offences here noticed are, 1. A man's concealing the truth, when he was sworn as a witness to speak the truth, the whole truth, and nothin but the truth. If, in such a case, for fear of offending one that ha been his friend, or may be his enemy, a man refuses to give evidence or gives it but in part, he shall bear his iniquity. And that is heavy burden, which, if some course be not taken to get it removed will sink a man to hell. Let all that are called at any time to be witnesses, think of this law, and be free and open in their evidence and take heed of prevaricating. An oath of the Lord is a sacred thing not to be trifled with. 2. A man's touching any thing that wa ceremonially unclean. Though his touching the unclean thing only mad him ceremonially defiled, yet neglecting to wash himself according to the law, was either carelessness or contempt, and contracted mora guilt. As soon as God, by his Spirit, convinces our consciences of an sin or duty, we must follow the conviction, as not ashamed to own ou former mistake. 3. Rash swearing, that a man will do or not do such thing. As if the performance of his oath afterward prove unlawful, or what cannot be done. Wisdom and watchfulness beforehand would preven these difficulties. In these cases the offender must confess his sin and bring his offering; but the offering was not accepted, unles accompanied with confession and humble prayer for pardon. The confession must be particular; that he hath sinned in that thing Deceit lies in generals; many will own they have sinned, for that all must own; but their sins in any one particular they are unwilling to allow. The way to be assured of pardon, and armed against sin for the future, is to confess the exact truth. If any were very poor, the might bring some flour, and that should be accepted. Thus the expens of the sin-offering was brought lower than any other, to teach that n man's poverty shall ever bar the way of his pardon. If the sinne brought two doves, one was to be offered for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering. We must first see that our peace be mad with God, and then we may expect that our services for his glory wil be accepted by him. To show the loathsomeness of sin, the flour, when offered, must not be made grateful to the taste by oil, or to the smel by frankincense. God, by these sacrifices, spoke comfort to those wh had offended, that they might not despair, nor pine away in their sins Likewise caution not to offend any more, remembering how expensive an troublesome it was to make atonement.
