Then the priest
The role of the priest in ancient Israel was pivotal, serving as a mediator between God and the people. The Hebrew word for priest, "kohen," signifies one who is set apart for sacred duties. In the context of Leviticus, the priest's actions are not merely ritualistic but deeply spiritual, symbolizing the bridge between humanity and the divine. The priest's involvement underscores the necessity of divine intervention in the process of purification and reconciliation with God.

is to offer the sin offering
The "sin offering," or "chatat" in Hebrew, was a crucial aspect of the sacrificial system, designed to atone for unintentional sins and cleanse the individual from impurity. This offering highlights the seriousness of sin and the need for a sacrificial substitute to restore the sinner to a state of holiness. The sin offering points forward to the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who bore the sins of humanity, fulfilling the law and providing eternal atonement.

and make atonement
The concept of "atonement," derived from the Hebrew word "kaphar," meaning to cover or to reconcile, is central to the theology of Leviticus. Atonement involves the removal of sin's barrier between God and man, allowing for restored fellowship. This act of atonement by the priest foreshadows the redemptive work of Christ, who, as our High Priest, made the ultimate atonement through His death and resurrection.

for the one to be cleansed
The cleansing process in Leviticus is both physical and spiritual, symbolizing the comprehensive nature of God's redemption. The Hebrew term "taher" implies purification and sanctification, reflecting God's desire for His people to be holy as He is holy. This cleansing is a precursor to the New Testament teaching of sanctification, where believers are continually cleansed and made holy through the work of the Holy Spirit.

from his uncleanness
"Uncleanness," or "tumah" in Hebrew, represents a state of impurity that separates individuals from the community and from God. In Levitical law, uncleanness could result from various sources, including disease, sin, or contact with death. The removal of uncleanness is essential for restoring one's relationship with God and the community, illustrating the transformative power of God's grace in overcoming the defilement of sin.

After that, the priest shall slaughter the burnt offering
The "burnt offering," known as "olah" in Hebrew, signifies complete dedication and surrender to God. Unlike other offerings, the burnt offering was entirely consumed by fire, symbolizing the total devotion required of the worshiper. This act of sacrifice points to the ultimate sacrifice of Christ, who offered Himself wholly to God on our behalf. The sequence of offerings in this verse reflects the progression from atonement and cleansing to consecration and worship, encapsulating the journey of faith for every believer.

(19) And the priest shall offer the sin offering.--The other ewe lamb mentioned in Leviticus 14:10 the priest is now to offer as a sin offering, to expiate the sins which the restored leper had committed during his illness, having probably given vent to impatient and unbecoming expressions at his loathsome condition, not as due in consequence of having been in a state of uncleanness. The regulations in Leviticus 5:2-3, refer to cases when through thoughtlessness the unclean person forgot his duty.

Verses 19, 20. - The priest shall offer the sin offering. The sin offering is due, according to the regulation given in chapter Leviticus 5:3, in consequence of the man having been in a state of uncleanness. It is followed by the burnt offering and the meat offering, and then the man is restored to his state of legal cleanness, and of communion with God as well as with his fellows
