Lev 5:14 | TNotes | STEP | Summary for Lev 5:14-6:7: 5:14–6:7 The guilt offering (Hebrew ’asham , “guilt”) dealt with property loss and damages, whether sacred (5:14-16 ) or secular (6:1-7 ). It involved restitution as well as compensation for the loss (5:16 ; 6:5 ). It could be called a “penalty offering,” because the ram was a penalty, or perhaps a “restitution offering,” because of the need to make restitution for the loss before the ram was offered. In the guilt offering (5:14–6:7 ), the loss involved was not only a failure in God’s sight, as with the sin offering, but also a loss of property to another person or to the sanctuary. Cp. Matt 5:23-24 .
