| 1 | Leviticus 4:27–31 | And if one of the common people sins unintentionally and does what is prohibited by any of the LORD’s commandments, he incurs guilt. When he becomes aware of the sin he has committed, he must bring an unblemished female goat as his offering for that sin. He is to lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it at the place of the burnt offering. Then the priest is to take some of its blood with his finger, put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar. Then he is to remove all the fat, just as it is removed from the peace offering, and the priest is to burn it on the altar as a pleasing aroma to the LORD. In this way the priest will make atonement for him, and he will be forgiven. |

Leviticus 9:15 Summary
[This verse shows us that Aaron, as the high priest, offered a sin offering to God on behalf of the people, which means that he was asking for God's forgiveness for their sins, as seen in Leviticus 4:1-35 and Hebrews 9:22. This is similar to how Jesus offers forgiveness to us today, as mentioned in John 1:29 and 1 John 2:2. By following God's instructions, Aaron was able to provide a way for the people to be forgiven and to have a relationship with God, as seen in Psalm 103:12 and Matthew 26:28. This reminds us that we all need forgiveness and that God provides a way for us to receive it through Jesus Christ, as seen in Romans 3:25 and Hebrews 10:1-18.]
