24 Then the Lord spoke to Moses , saying , 25 "Speak to Aaron and to his sons , saying , 'This is the law of the sin offering : in the place where the burnt offering is slain the sin offering shall be slain before the Lord ; it is most holy . 26 ' The priest who offers it for sin shall eat it. It shall be eaten in a holy place , in the court of the tent of meeting . 27 ' Anyone who touches its flesh will become consecrated ; and when any of its blood splashes on a garment , in a holy place you shall wash what was splashed on. 28 'Also the earthenware vessel in which it was boiled shall be broken ; and if it was boiled in a bronze vessel , then it shall be scoured and rinsed in water . 29 ' Every male among the priests may eat of it; it is most holy . 30 'But no e sin offering of which any of the blood is brought into the tent of meeting to make atonement in the holy place shall be eaten ; it shall be burned with fire .
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Leviticus 6:24-30
Commentary on Leviticus 6:24-30
(Read Leviticus 6:24-30)
The blood of the sin-offering was to be washed out of the clothes on which it should happen to be sprinkled, which signified the regard we ought to have to the blood of Christ, not counting it a common thing. The vessel in which the flesh of the sin-offering was boiled must be broken, if it were an earthen one; but if a brazen one, well washed. This showed that the defilement was not wholly taken away by the offering; but the blood of Christ thoroughly cleanses from all sin. All these rules set forth the polluting nature of sin, and the removal of guilt from the sinner to the sacrifice. Behold and wonder at Christ's love, in that he was content to be made a sin-offering for us, and so to procure our pardon for continual sins and failings. He that knew no sin was made sin (that is, a sin-offering) for us, Romans 8:3.
