Likewise this is the law of the trespass offering: it is most holy.
This is the law governing the trespass offering, one of five distinct offerings — burnt, meal, peace, sin, and trespass — each with its own purpose and manner. It belongs to the ceremonial law instituted in consequence of sin, pointing to Christ as the great Antitype and done away when He came. It declares that offering most holy as part of the daily ministry of the earthly sanctuary, where individuals burdened with sins such as taking property by violence or deceiving a neighbor brought offerings in faith in the Redeemer to come. The sinner bore his iniquity until he presented and slew his offering, when the priest made atonement with its blood so he was forgiven and freed, while the blood carried the sin in figure into the sanctuary to remain before the ark through the year until cleansed and borne out on the tenth day of the seventh month, completing in type Christ's entire priesthood. All its details had meaning fulfilled in Jesus' sacrifice, life, and priestly work in the heavenly sanctuary, showing God's hatred of sin and that sin demands its penalty.
Law and Sanctuary Setting
Likewise this is the law of the trespass offering, which stands as one of five kinds of offerings — burnt, meal, peace, sin, and trespass — each with its own purpose and manner to be clearly defined and compared. The word law here means the ceremonial law governing the trespass offering. That ceremonial law was instituted in consequence of sin, pointed to Christ as the great Antitype, and was done away with when he came.
In the setting of chapters 5–7, this law belongs to offerings made in connection with sins such as taking property by violence or deceiving a neighbor. It is among the first chapters of Leviticus describing offerings brought by individuals burdened with sin. Those offerings expressed faith in the Redeemer who was to come. The verse identifies the trespass offering as a most holy offering belonging to the daily ministry of the earthly sanctuary, in which individuals brought offerings for their sins through the year. It belongs to the instructions for the individual offerings made during the year as part of the priests' daily ministration in that earthly sanctuary.
Calling the trespass offering most holy does not prove it is holier than the seventh-day Sabbath. The two are not compared. The Sabbath is unique, and its holiness is not expressed in degrees.
Atonement and Christ Foreshadowed
Likewise this is the law of the trespass offering belongs to the special instructions given to Israel for its offerings, which reveal God's hatred of sin and declare that sin demands its penalty, and which stand as types pointing to Jesus Christ. It belongs to the laws about sacrifices and offerings whose details carried meaning fulfilled in Jesus' sacrifice, life, and work. Each different sacrifice has a typological connection to the work of Jesus Christ, and these sacrificial services belonged to the yearly cycle of ceremonies that typified Christ's ministry and priesthood.
The trespass offering belongs to the laws for dealing with sin, and it is connected with Christ, who gave himself as an offering and bore the iniquities of the people. It is part of the section setting forth the main features of the sanctuary service, which gives instruction about God's way and helps teach about Christ's priestly work in the heavenly sanctuary. One who had sinned bore his own iniquity until he presented and slew his offering, and then the priest made atonement with its blood so that the sinner was forgiven and freed from that iniquity. That blood carried the iniquity into the sanctuary, where it was afterward cleansed through the application of blood.
The trespass offering is one of the individual offerings of the first seven chapters of Leviticus, offered in faith by the sinner together with the daily offering to transfer in figure, through the blood of the sacrifice or through the person of the priest, the sins of the penitent to the sanctuary. There the sprinkled blood left the forgiven sins in figure before the ark through the year, until they were cleansed and borne out on the tenth day of the seventh month in the yearly judgment that completes the round of service typical of Christ's entire priesthood. The offering was most holy in that its fat was burned as holy on the altar, unlike the flesh that was burned outside the camp. That fat represents the grace of the Holy Spirit, associated with anointing and with the Spirit's work in people, and a measure of this Spirit-given image remains even in the worst sinner and is holy, to be renewed rather than crucified.
