E. The Trespass Offering

1. Type: Lev. 5.1-5, 14-19; 6.1-7; distinct from the sin offering; focus is upon the trespass that the offerer did, thus involved restitution to the injured parties.

2. Antitype: Jesus Christ not only provides propitiation (satisfaction of God’s anger against our sin) but also cleansing and provision (enabling us as offenders to receive help, cleansing, and strength to transcend our trespass) (cf. Heb. 10.20 with 1 John 1.7 and 1 Cor. 10.13).
