Hey, it's Shelby and CJ here. We're walking you through the book of Leviticus, and today we are in chapters 4 through 7. So we started off the book of Leviticus yesterday, and we talked through a couple of different type of offerings. Yes, ma'am. And we have more offerings today. We do. But I feel like we're still just kind of orienting ourselves to this book. This year's like such a departure from the books that we've covered before. So can you just like remind us where we're at, CJ? Yeah. So again, at the end of Exodus 40, the tabernacle is now up and running. And then beginning in Leviticus, we have to learn, well, how do you use the

tabernacle? What's the point? What sort of sacrifices do we offer inside of it? In Leviticus 1 through

three, we describe the three voluntary sacrifices, which we are describing as sacrifices marked by

gratitude or just worship. And today we get to the final two sacrifices. So that's where we're at now.

Okay, great. Yes. I would love for you to explain these final two sacrifices. I feel like what we

talked about yesterday helped me understand the first three. Yeah. But we'd love to know about the

ones we covered today. So a principle that we need to keep in mind is that God's presence is holy

and it needs to be treated with care. So part principle that we need to keep in mind is that God's presence is holy and it needs to be treated with care.

So part of that means dealing with sin and impurity. So the CSB translates the first offering in

Leviticus 4 and 5 as a sin offering. And many scholars note that the blood from the offering cleanses or scrubs or purifies the tabernacle to make sure that there's a clean space for God to dwell in.

An analogy that I think of is like a, imagine like a white sheet. The tabernacle is like a white sheet.

And sin and impurity globs on really easily to that white sheet, just like you would if you were wearing a white shirt or something. It's like everything seems to attach to that white sheet or white

shirt. And the sin offering is constantly scrubbing away all of those sins and impurities from

that white sheet to create a clean space for God to dwell in. So that's sort of the point of the

sin offering. And that function that it purifies or scrubs or cleanses is why some scholars refer to it as a

purification offering because it purifies or it scrubs away all of those sins and impurities.

And then we have in Leviticus 5 and 6 the final offering.

It's called the guilt offering. Whereas the sin or purification offering

would scrub away that sin and impurity, that guilt offering, or what some call a reparation

offering, would repair the relationship between worshipper and God. So these are the functions of the

last two offerings. Okay. So I feel like functionally,

I understand them, but just like we did yesterday, can you like bring it into modern day?
