Leviticus 6 outlines various regulations for the priests regarding specific offerings and the handling of certain situations. It begins by emphasizing that when someone commits a trespass against their neighbor by deceiving or withholding property, they must restore what was taken or pay an additional amount as compensation. These actions are required before presenting an offering to the Lord.
The chapter goes on to explain the procedures for different types of offerings, such as the burnt offering, the grain offering, and the sin offering. It provides specific instructions on how these offerings are to be prepared, handled, and consumed by the priests.
Furthermore, the text addresses the consecration of Aaron and his sons as priests. Moses instructs them on the specific rituals they must perform for seven days to ensure their consecration.
The chapter concludes by highlighting the perpetual nature of some offerings. The fire on the altar must never be extinguished, and the grain offering given by the Israelites is to be shared among the priests.
