Tell Aaron and his sons
This phrase establishes the direct communication from God to Moses, who is instructed to relay God's commands to Aaron and his sons, the appointed priests. The Hebrew root for "tell" is "dabar," which implies not just speaking but conveying a message of importance. Aaron and his sons are the mediators between God and the Israelites, highlighting the priestly role as a sacred duty. Historically, this underscores the hereditary priesthood established in the tribe of Levi, emphasizing the continuity and sanctity of their service.

This is the law of the sin offering
The "law" here, from the Hebrew "torah," signifies instruction or teaching. It is not merely a legalistic requirement but a divine guideline for maintaining holiness and purity among the people. The "sin offering," or "chatat" in Hebrew, is a critical component of the sacrificial system, designed to atone for unintentional sins and restore the relationship between the Israelites and God. This reflects the seriousness with which God views sin and the provision He makes for reconciliation.

The sin offering is to be slaughtered before the LORD
The act of slaughtering "before the LORD" indicates that the offering is made in the presence of God, signifying His direct involvement and acceptance of the sacrifice. The Hebrew word "panim" (before) suggests a face-to-face encounter, emphasizing the personal nature of the offering. This act is a reminder of the gravity of sin and the need for atonement, pointing forward to the ultimate sacrifice of Christ, who would fulfill the law perfectly.

in the place the burnt offering is slaughtered
This specifies the location within the tabernacle where the sin offering is to be made, the same as the burnt offering, or "olah." The shared location underscores the interconnectedness of the offerings, each serving a distinct purpose in the worship and atonement process. Archaeological findings of ancient altars and temple layouts provide insight into the meticulous care taken in these rituals, reflecting the order and holiness required in approaching God.

it is most holy
The phrase "most holy," or "qodesh qodashim" in Hebrew, elevates the sin offering to the highest level of sanctity. This designation means that the offering is set apart for God and must be treated with the utmost reverence. The holiness of the offering reflects God's own holiness and the need for His people to be holy as He is holy. This concept of holiness permeates the entire book of Leviticus, calling believers to live lives that honor God in every aspect.

(25) In the place where the burnt offering is killed.--That is, the north side of the altar. (See Leviticus 1:11.)

It is most holy.--That is, the sin offering belongs to the class of sacrifices which is most holy. (See Leviticus 2:3.)
