This Torah portion is about the guilt or “asham”
offering.
This is offered for a sin committed by mistake – (Heb
shagag)
The dictionary defines guilt in the following way:
“The fact or state of having committed an offense,
crime, violation or wrong, especially against a moral or penal law – a feeling
of responsibility whether real or imagined.”
Let us be very clear on this matter – if you are truly
filled with the Ruach of Elohim you will know when you have transgressed His
Torah.
Lev 4:1 And יהוה spoke to
Mosheh, saying,
Lev 4:2 “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying,
‘When a being sins by mistake against any of the commands of יהוה, which are not to be done, and shall do
any of them:
Lev 4:3 ‘If the anointed priest sins, bringing guilt
on the people, then he shall bring to יהוה for his sin
which he has sinned a young bull, a perfect one, as a sin offering,
Why is he anointed? Because he
has been chosen to guard and teach others to guard the Torah.
The mistakes of priests or
Kohanim are first mentioned because the consequences of their mistakes can have
profoundly serious consequences for the people.
We can all make mistakes but
there are often consequences for our mistakes.
We know that if we confess our
sins YHVH is merciful and will forgive us our sins. When we keep on making the
same mistakes, YHVH may have to discipline us to correct wrong patterns of
behavior and actions.
Heb 12:4
You have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
Heb 12:5
And you have forgotten the appeal which speaks to you as to sons, “My
son, do not despise the discipline of יהוה, nor faint
when you are reproved by Him,
Heb 12:6 for whom יהוה loves, He
disciplines, and flogs (G3146 – Gk – ‘’mastegoi’’ Jn 19:1 same Gk root) every son whom He receives.”1
Footnote: 1Prov. 3:11-12.
Heb 12:7 If you endure discipline, Elohim is treating
you as sons. For what son is there whom a father does not discipline?
Heb 12:8 But if you are without discipline, of which
all have become sharers, then you are illegitimate and not sons.
Heb 12:9 Moreover, we indeed had fathers of our flesh
disciplining us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much rather be subject
to the Father of spirits, and live?
Heb 12:10 For they indeed disciplined us for a few days
as seemed best to them, but He does it for our profit, so that we might share
His apartness.
Heb 12:11 And indeed, no discipline seems pleasant at
the time, but grievous, but afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of
righteousness to those who have been trained by it.1 Footnote: 1Dt.
8:2.
Heb 12:12 So, strengthen the hands which hang down and
the weak knees,
Heb 12:13 and make straight paths for your feet, lest
the lame be turned aside, but instead, to be healed.
Heb 12:14 Pursue peace with all, and pursue apartness
without which no one shall see the Master.
1Jn 1:8
If we say that we have no sin, we are misleading ourselves, and the
truth is not in us.
1Jn 1:9
If we confess our sins, He is trustworthy and righteous to forgive us
the sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1Jn 1:10
If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Word is
not in us.
Any person who continues to
intentionally sin may sin away their time of favour.
1Ti 4:1
But the Spirit distinctly says that in latter times some shall fall away
from the belief, paying attention to misleading spirits, and teachings of
demons,
1Ti 4:2
speaking lies in hypocrisy, having been branded on their own conscience,
1Ti 4:3
forbidding to marry, saying to abstain from foods which Elohim
created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the
truth.
David Wilkerson explained more of what he
saw coming: “God is revealing to all praying people that a glorious new
work of the Spirit is about to break forth. God is going to shake everything
that can be shaken. He will tear down the old political, backslidden,
ecclesiastical system. He will disown the formal, super-church structure. He
will chase out of His presence all who are engaging in self-promoting ministries.”
Wigglesworth said, “We have to see
that these days have to come, before the Lord can come. There has to be a
falling away. There are in the world two classes of believers. There are
believers which are disobedient, or I ought to say there are children which are
saved by the power of God which are disobedient children. And there are
children which are just the same saved by the power of God, who all the time
are longing to be more obedient.”
Gal 5:1
In the freedom with which Messiah has made us free, stand firm, then,
and do not again be held with a yoke of slavery.
Lev 4:4 and he shall bring the bull to the door of
the Tent of Meeting before יהוה, and shall lay
his hand on the bull’s head, and slaughter the bull before יהוה.
Lev 4:5 ‘And the anointed priest shall take some of
the bull’s blood and bring it to the Tent of Meeting,
Lev 4:6 and the priest shall dip his finger in the
blood and sprinkle some of the blood seven times before יהוה, in front of the veil of the set-apart
place.
Lev 4:7 ‘And the priest shall put some of the blood
on the horns of the altar of sweet incense before יהוה, which is in
the Tent of Meeting, and pour all the blood of the bull at the base of the
altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
Lev 4:8 ‘Then he takes all the fat of the bull as the
sin offering, the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat which is on the
entrails,
Lev 4:9 and the two kidneys and the fat that is on
them by the loins, and the appendage on the liver, which he removes with the
kidneys,
Lev 4:10 as it was taken from the bull of the peace
offering. And the priest shall burn them on the altar of the burnt offering.
Lev 4:11 ‘But the skin of the bull, and all its flesh,
with its head and legs, its entrails and dung –
Lev 4:12 all of the bull – he shall bring outside the
camp to a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn it on wood with
fire. Where the ashes are poured out it is burned.
Lev 4:13 ‘And if the entire congregation of Yisra’ĕl
strays by mistake, and the matter has been hidden from the eyes of the
assembly, and they have done against any of the commands of יהוה, which are not to be done, and shall be
guilty,
Lev 4:14 when the sin which they have sinned becomes
known, then the assembly shall bring a young bull for the sin, and bring it
before the Tent of Meeting.
Lev 4:15 ‘And the elders of the congregation shall lay
their hands on the head of the bull before יהוה, and the bull
shall be slaughtered before יהוה.
Lev 4:16 ‘And the anointed priest shall bring some of
the bull’s blood to the Tent of Meeting,
Lev 4:17 and the priest shall dip his finger in the
blood and sprinkle it seven times before יהוה, in front of
the veil,
Lev 4:18 and put some of the blood on the horns of the
altar which is before יהוה, which is in
the Tent of Meeting, and pour all the blood at the base of the altar of burnt
offering, which is at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
Lev 4:19 ‘Then he takes all the fat from it and shall
burn it on the altar.
Lev 4:20 ‘And he shall do with the bull as he did with
the bull as a sin offering – so shall he do it. And the priest shall make
atonement for them, and it shall be forgiven them.
Lev 4:21 ‘And he shall bring the bull outside the
camp, and burn it as he burned the first bull. It is a sin offering for the
assembly.
Lev 4:22 ‘When a ruler sins, and by mistake has done against
any of the commands of יהוה his Elohim
which are not to be done, and shall be guilty,
Lev 4:23 or if his sin which he has sinned is made
known to him, then he shall bring as his offering a buck of the goats, a male,
a perfect one.
Lev 4:24 ‘And he shall lay his hand on the head of the
goat, and slaughter it at the place where they slaughter the burnt offering
before יהוה. It is a sin offering.
Lev 4:25 ‘And the priest shall take some of the blood
of the sin offering with his finger, and shall put it on the horns of the altar
of burnt offering, and pour its blood at the base of the altar of burnt
offering,
Lev 4:26 and burn all its fat on the altar, like the
fat of the slaughtering of the peace offering. And the priest shall make
atonement for him for his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.
Lev 4:27 ‘And if any being of the people of the land
sins by mistake by doing against any of the commands of יהוה which are not to be done, and shall be
guilty,
Lev 4:28 or if his sin which he has sinned shall be
made known to him, then he shall bring as his offering a female goat, a perfect
one, for his sin which he has sinned.
Lev 4:29 ‘And he shall lay his hand on the head of the
sin offering, and slaughter the sin offering at the place of the burnt
offering.
Lev 4:30 ‘And the priest shall take some of its blood
with his finger, and shall put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering,
and pour all the blood at the base of the altar,
Lev 4:31 then remove all its fat, as fat is removed
from the slaughtering of the peace offering. And the priest shall burn it on
the altar for a sweet fragrance to יהוה. And the
priest shall make atonement for him, and it shall be forgiven him.
Lev 4:32 ‘And if he brings a lamb as his sin offering,
he brings a female, a perfect one.
Lev 4:33 ‘And he shall lay his hand on the head of the
sin offering, and slaughter it as a sin offering at the place where they
slaughter the burnt offering.
Lev 4:34 ‘And the priest shall take some of the blood
of the sin offering with his finger, and shall put it on the horns of the altar
of burnt offering, and pour all the blood at the base of the altar.
Lev 4:35 ‘Then he removes all its fat, as the fat of
the lamb is removed from the slaughtering of the peace offering. And the priest
shall burn it on the altar, according to the offerings made by fire to יהוה. So the priest shall make atonement for
his sin that he has sinned, and it shall be forgiven him.
The ministry of the Ruach Ha
Kodesh (Set apart Spirit) is far more important than we realize.
Because we have been separated
from our Hebraic Messianic roots for so long we have become desensitized to the
promptings and conviction of the Ruach of YHVH.
2Co 7:10 For sadness
according to Elohim works repentance to deliverance, not to be regretted, but
the sadness of the world works death.
1Jn 1:9 If we confess
our sins, He is trustworthy and righteous to forgive us the sins and cleanse us
from all unrighteousness. (what sin! are we able to identify our sin?)
1Jn 1:10 If we say that
we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Word is not in us.
Joh 16:8 “And having
come, He shall convict[a] the world concerning sin,[b] and
concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment – Footnotes: aOr confute
or prove wrong. b 2Ch_24:20, Neh_9:30, Eze_36:27, Mic_3:8,
Act_28:25-27.
Joh 16:9 concerning sin because
they do not believe in Me,
Joh 16:10 concerning righteousness
because I go to My Father and you see Me no more,
Joh 16:11 concerning
judgment because the ruler of this worldc is judged. Footnote: cSee Luk_4:6.
Joh 16:12 “I still have
many words to say to you, but you are not able to bear them now.
Neh 9:29 and warned
them, to bring them back to Your Torah. But they acted proudly, and did not
obey Your commands, and sinned against Your right-rulings, ‘which if a man
does, he shall lived by them.’ And they gave the rebellious shoulder and
hardened their necks, and would not hear. Footnote: d Lev_18:5, Mat_19:17,
Luk_10:28 and Joh_12:50.
Neh
9:30 “And You had patience
with them for many years, and did warn them by Your Spirit, by the hand of Your
prophets, yet they would not give ear. Therefore You gave them into the hand of
the peoples of the lands.
Neh 9:31 “But in Your
great compassion You did not make an end of them nor forsake them, for You are
an Ěl of favour and compassion.
Notre the convicting power of YHVH’s Ruach is not some
new ‘’Christian’’ discovery.
Jas 5:13 Is any of you
suffering evil? Let him pray. Is anyone in good spirits? Let him sing
psalms.
Jas 5:14 Is anyone among
you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over
him, having anointed him with oil in the Name of the Master.
Jas 5:15 And the prayer
of the belief shall save the sick, and the Master shall raise him up. And if he
has committed sins, he shall be forgiven.
Jas 5:16 Confess your
trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, so that you are healed.
The earnest prayer of a righteous one accomplishes much.
Psa 66:18
If I have seen wickedness (Heb – “avon” – lawlessness or Torahlesness)
in my heart, יהוה would not hear.
Psa 66:19 Truly, Elohim has heard me; He has given heed
to the voice of my prayer.
Psa 66:20 Blessed be Elohim, Who has not turned away my
prayer, Nor His kindness from me!
Psa 139:23
Search me, O Ěl, and know my heart; Try me, and know my thoughts;
Psa 139:24
And see if an idolatrous (Heb – painful or offensive way that causes
sorrow) way is in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.
‘’The word convict is a translation of the Greek word elencho,
which means “to convince someone of the truth..’’
Joe 2:28
“And after this it shall be that I pour out My Spirit on all flesh. And your
sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men dream dreams, your young
men see visions.
Joe 2:29
“And also on the male servants and on the female servants I shall pour out My
Spirit in those days.

Joe 2:32
“And it shall be that everyone who calls on the Name of יהוה
shall be delivered.b For on Mount Tsiyon and in Yerushalayim there shall be an
escapec as יהוה has said, and among the
survivors whom יהוה calls. Footnotes: b Act_2:21,

you Yahveh, our Elohim, King of the Universe, you have given us your Torah of
truth, and have planted everlasting life within our midst. Blessed are you,
YHVH giver of the Torah – Ameyn.)
Additional Midrash Scriptures
Rom 7:12 So that the Torah truly is set-apart, and
the command set-apart, and righteous, and good.
Rom 7:13 Therefore, has that which is good become
death to me? Let it not be! But the sin, that sin might be manifest, was
working death in me through what is good, so that sin through the command might
become an exceedingly great sinner.
Rom 7:14 For we know that the Torah is Spiritual,
but I am fleshly, sold under sin.
Rom 7:15 For what I work, I know not. For what I
wish, that I do not practise, but what I hate, that I do.
Rom 7:16 But if I do what I do not wish, I agree
with the Torah that it is good.
Rom 7:17 And now, it is no longer I that work it,
but the sin dwelling in me.
Rom 7:18 For I know that in me, that is in my
flesh, dwells no good. For to wish is present with me, but to work the good I
do not find.
Rom 7:19 For the good that I wish to do, I do not
do; but the evil I do not wish to do, this I practise.
Rom 7:20 And if I do that which I do not wish, it
is no longer I who work it, but the sin dwelling in me.
Rom 7:21 I find therefore this law, that when I
wish to do the good, that the evil is present with me.
Rom 7:22 For I delight in the Torah of Elohima
according to the inward man, Footnote: aSee Psa_119:16.
Rom 7:23 but I see another torah in my members,
battling against the torah of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the
torah of sin which is in my members.
Rom 7:24 Wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver
me from this body of death?
Rom 7:25 Thanks to Elohim, through יהושע Messiah our Master! So then, with the mind I myself truly serve the Torah of Elohim, but with the flesh the torah of sin.
How does the Torah convict us of sin? – The ‘’sacrificial’’ system – the
very heart of the Torah
Heb 10:28 Anyone who has disregarded the Torah of
Mosheh dies without compassion on the witness of two or three witnesses.
Heb 10:29 How much worse punishment do you think shall he deserve who has trampled the Son of Elohim underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was set apart as common, and insulted the Spirit of favour?
Ezekiel 40-48 shows the offering system that will bring an end to the sin
problem.
Jud 1:24 And to Him who is able to keep you from
stumbling, and to present you blameless before the presence of His esteem with
exceeding joy,
Jud 1:25 to the only wise Elohim, our Saviour, be
esteem and greatness and might and authority, both now and forever. Aměn.
1Jn 3:4 Everyone doing sin also does lawlessness,
and sin is lawlessness.
1Jn 3:5 And you know that He was manifested to take
away our sins, and in Him there is no sin.
1Jn 3:6 Everyone staying in Him does not sin.
Everyone sinning has neither seen Him nor known Him.a Footnote: aSee 1Jn_2:4
and 3Jn_1:11.
Psa 32:1
Blessed is he whose transgression (Heb – rebellion) is forgiven, Whose sin is
covered.
Psa 32:2 Blessed is the man to whom יהוה imputes no
crookedness, And in whose spirit there is no deceit.
Psa 32:3 When I kept silent, my bones became old
Through my groaning all the day.
Psa 32:4 For day and night Your hand was heavy upon
me; My sap was turned into the droughts of summer. Selah.
Psa 32:5 I acknowledged my sin to You, And my
crookedness I did not hide. I have said, “I confess my transgressions to יהוה,”
And You forgave the crookedness of my sin. Selah.
1Ti 1:15 Trustworthy
is the word and worthy of all acceptance, that Messiah יהושע came into
the world to save sinners, of whom I am foremost.
Heb 5:7 who, in the days of His flesh, when He had
offered up prayers and petitions with strong crying and tears to Him who was
able to save Him from death, and was heard because of His reverent fear,
Heb 5:8 though being a Son, He learned obedience by
what He suffered.
Heb 5:9 And having been perfected, He became the Causer of everlasting deliverance to all those obeying Him
Rom 8:1
There is, then, now no condemnation to those who are in Messiah יהושע, who do not walk
according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
Rom 8:2 For the torah of the Spirit of the life in
Messiah יהושע has set me free from the torah of sin and of death.
Rom 8:3 For the Torah being powerless, in that it
was weak through the flesh, Elohim, having sent His own Son in the likeness of
flesh of sin, and concerning sin, condemned sin in the flesh,
Rom 8:4 so that the righteousness of the Torah should be completed in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
The evidence of the infilling of the Ruach of YHVH .
2Ch 7:11 Thus Shelomoh finished the House of יהוה
and the sovereign’s house. And all that came into the heart of Shelomoh to do
in the House of יהוה and in his own house, he prosperously executed.
2Ch 7:12 And יהוה appeared to Shelomoh
by night, and said to him, “I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this
place for Myself as a house of slaughtering.
2Ch 7:13 “If I shut up the heavens and there is no
rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence
among My people,
2Ch 7:14 and My people upon whom My Name is called,
shall humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their evil
ways, then I shall hear from the heavens, and forgive their sin and heal their
land.
2Ch 7:15 “Now, My eyes are open and My ears
attentive to the prayer of this place.
2Ch 7:16 “And now, I have chosen and set this house apart for My Name to be there forever. And My eyes and My heart shall always be there.
