Lev 6:2 | TNotes | STEP | 6:2 sins against your associate ... unfaithful to the Lord : For believers, there really is no such thing as a “secular” sin. All sin involves God, even sin directed against another person or group. In the sins requiring a guilt offering, God’s forgiveness was needed, but restitution to the injured individual had to be made first (6:5-7 ; cp. Matt 5:23-24 ). Unlike offenses against sacred property (Lev 5:14-16 ), both accidental and intentional offenses against secular property could be forgiven.
