2	Romans 5:15–21	But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many! Again, the gift is not like the result of the one man’s sin: The judgment that followed one sin brought condemnation, but the gift that followed many trespasses brought justification. For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive an abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ! So then, just as one trespass brought condemnation for all men, so also one act of righteousness brought justification and life for all men. For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous. The law came in so that the trespass would increase; but where sin increased, grace increased all the more, so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Therefore, since we have now been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from wrath through Him! For if, when we were enemies of God, we were reconciled to Him through the death of His Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through His life!

Leviticus 3:13 Summary

This verse is talking about how people in the Old Testament would offer sacrifices to God. When someone wanted to offer a goat as a sacrifice, they would put their hand on its head and then kill it in front of the special tent where God's people worshiped, as a way of symbolizing the transfer of their sin to the animal, similar to what is described in Leviticus 1:4. The priest would then sprinkle the animal's blood on the altar, which was a way of asking God to forgive their sins, as seen in Leviticus 17:11. This was an important part of the worship and sacrifice system in the Old Testament, and it reminds us of the importance of approaching God with reverence and humility, as seen in Hebrews 10:19-22.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why was it necessary for the person offering the sacrifice to lay their hand on the head of the animal?

This act symbolized the transfer of the person's sin to the animal, as seen in Leviticus 1:4, and was a reminder that the sacrifice was a substitute for the person's own life, as stated in Romans 3:25.

What was the significance of slaughtering the animal in front of the Tent of Meeting?

Slaughtering the animal in front of the Tent of Meeting signified that the sacrifice was being offered to God, and that it was a public act of worship, as seen in Leviticus 17:4, and emphasized the importance of approaching God through the prescribed rituals and sacrifices, as stated in Hebrews 10:19-22.

Why did Aaron's sons need to sprinkle the blood on all sides of the altar?

The sprinkling of blood on the altar was a symbol of the atonement for sin, as seen in Leviticus 17:11, and was a reminder of the covenant between God and his people, as stated in Exodus 24:8, and it also foreshadowed the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, as seen in Hebrews 9:22.

How does this verse relate to the overall theme of Leviticus?

This verse is part of the larger theme of Leviticus, which emphasizes the importance of ritual purity and the need for atonement for sin, as seen in Leviticus 16:30, and it highlights the role of the priesthood in mediating between God and his people, as stated in Hebrews 7:11-12.

Reflection Questions

What does this verse reveal about the nature of sacrifice and worship in the Old Testament, and how does it relate to our own worship today?
How does the act of laying hands on the head of the animal illustrate the concept of substitutionary atonement, and what implications does this have for our understanding of the gospel?
In what ways does the public nature of the sacrifice, performed in front of the Tent of Meeting, emphasize the corporate aspect of worship, and how can we apply this to our own communal worship experiences?
What does the sprinkling of blood on the altar signify about the gravity of sin and the necessity of atonement, and how does this relate to our own understanding of sin and redemption?

Gill's Exposition on Leviticus 3:13

And he shall lay his hand upon the head of it,.... His right hand, according to the Targum of Jonathan, as before; the same directions are given for the killing of it, and for the sprinkling of its

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Leviticus 3:13

And he shall lay his hand upon the head of it, and kill it before the tabernacle of the congregation: and the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle the blood thereof upon the altar round about. No JFB commentary on these verses.

Ellicott's Commentary on Leviticus 3:13

(12-15) And if his offering be a goat.—The directions about the goat as a peace offering are the same as those about an ox. No mention of male or female is here made, because this point is already stated in Leviticus 3:6. Unlike the burnt offering (Leviticus 1:10), the goat is here separated from the sheep because of the difference in the oblation, arising from the broad tail of the sheep, which does not exist in the goat.
