The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, “If anyone sins, and commits a trespass against the LORD, and deals falsely with his neighbor in a matter of deposit, or of bargain, or of robbery, or has oppressed his neighbor, See also: Colossians 3:9Leviticus 19:11Numbers 5:6-8or has found that which was lost, and lied about it, and swearing to a lie—in any of these things that a man sins in his actions— See also: Leviticus 19:12Exodus 23:4Proverbs 30:9then it shall be, if he has sinned, and is guilty, he shall restore that which he took by robbery, or the thing which he has gotten by oppression, or the deposit which was committed to him, or the lost thing which he found, See also: Ezekiel 18:7Isaiah 59:6Job 24:2or any thing about which he has sworn falsely: he shall restore it in full, and shall add a fifth part more to it. He shall return it to him to whom it belongs in the day of his being found guilty. See also: Leviticus 5:16Exodus 22:92 Samuel 12:6He shall bring his trespass offering to the LORD: a ram without defect from the flock, according to your estimation, for a trespass offering, to the priest. See also: Leviticus 5:15Leviticus 5:18Isaiah 53:10-11The priest shall make atonement for him before the LORD, and he will be forgiven concerning whatever he does to become guilty.” See also: Leviticus 4:261 John 2:1-21 John 1:9The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, “Command Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is the law of the burnt offering: the burnt offering shall be on the hearth on the altar all night until the morning; and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning on it. See also: Exodus 29:38-42Numbers 28:3Leviticus 6:12-13The priest shall put on his linen garment, and he shall put on his linen trousers upon his body; and he shall remove the ashes from where the fire has consumed the burnt offering on the altar, and he shall put them beside the altar. See also: Exodus 28:39-43Leviticus 16:4Revelation 7:13He shall take off his garments, and put on other garments, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a clean place. See also: Leviticus 4:12Ezekiel 44:19Hebrews 13:11-13The fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it, it shall not go out; and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning. He shall lay the burnt offering in order upon it, and shall burn on it the fat of the peace offerings. See also: Leviticus 9:24Exodus 29:38-42Leviticus 1:7-9Fire shall be kept burning on the altar continually; it shall not go out. “‘This is the law of the meal offering: the sons of Aaron shall offer it before the LORD, before the altar. See also: Leviticus 2:1-2John 6:32Numbers 15:4He shall take from there his handful of the fine flour of the meal offering, and of its oil, and all the frankincense which is on the meal offering, and shall burn it on the altar for a pleasant aroma, as its memorial portion, to the LORD. See also: Leviticus 2:2Leviticus 2:9That which is left of it Aaron and his sons shall eat. It shall be eaten without yeast in a holy place. They shall eat it in the court of the Tent of Meeting. See also: Ezekiel 44:29Leviticus 2:3Leviticus 10:12-13It shall not be baked with yeast. I have given it as their portion of my offerings made by fire. It is most holy, as are the sin offering and the trespass offering. See also: Leviticus 2:11Leviticus 6:25Numbers 18:9-10Every male among the children of Aaron shall eat of it, as their portion forever throughout your generations, from the offerings of the LORD made by fire. Whoever touches them shall be holy.’” See also: Numbers 18:10Leviticus 6:29Leviticus 6:27The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, “This is the offering of Aaron and of his sons, which they shall offer to the LORD in the day when he is anointed: one tenth of an ephah of fine flour for a meal offering perpetually, half of it in the morning, and half of it in the evening. See also: Exodus 16:36Exodus 29:2Numbers 18:26-32It shall be made with oil in a griddle. When it is soaked, you shall bring it in. You shall offer the meal offering in baked pieces for a pleasant aroma to the LORD. See also: Leviticus 2:5Leviticus 7:91 Chronicles 9:31The anointed priest that will be in his place from among his sons shall offer it. By a statute forever, it shall be wholly burned to the LORD. See also: Isaiah 53:10Hebrews 7:23Deuteronomy 10:6Every meal offering of a priest shall be wholly burned. It shall not be eaten.” See also: Leviticus 6:16-17Leviticus 2:10The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, ‘This is the law of the sin offering: in the place where the burnt offering is killed, the sin offering shall be killed before the LORD. It is most holy. See also: Leviticus 4:24Leviticus 1:11Leviticus 1:3The priest who offers it for sin shall eat it. It shall be eaten in a holy place, in the court of the Tent of Meeting. See also: Leviticus 10:17-18Ezekiel 44:28-29Ezekiel 46:20Whatever shall touch its flesh shall be holy. When there is any of its blood sprinkled on a garment, you shall wash that on which it was sprinkled in a holy place.

Notes in English 19th-century Catholic commentary by Fr. George Leo Haydock, shown as published.
These notes keep the polemics of their time: some speak harshly of the Jewish people or of other Christians. The Church teaches otherwise today. The Jewish people may not be blamed for the death of Christ (Nostra Aetate 4; Catechism 597–598), and Christians of other communities are our brothers and sisters in the Lord (Unitatis Redintegratio 3).

Leviticus 6:2
Ver. 2. Despising: interpretatively; not formally, as Num. xv. Estius. --- The Lord, who knows the truth, and is an avenger of all injustice, even the most secret. H. --- The law inflicts indeed a smaller punishment, as these offences are supposed to be secret, and the offender is thus invited to repent, and to repair the injury done. When the crime is public, the law is more severe. C. ---
Heb. "if a soul transgress and sin against the Lord." Sept. "If any one wilfully despise the commands," &c. H. --- Trust. Heb. and Sept. "or a sum given for traffic for their common benefit." --- Oppression, by any means whatsoever, detaining the wages of the labourer, &c.
↑ 2Leviticus 6:3
Ver. 3. Lost. We acquire no title to the thing by finding it. The Roman law, as well as divines, condemn those who appropriate the thing found to their own use, as guilty of theft, whether they knew to whom it belonged or not; and Plato greatly commends the law of Solon, "Take not what thou didst not put down," a rule which the Dyrbeans and the people of Biblos rigorously observed. We may, however, take up what is lost, (C.) and endeavour to find the owner, who must indemnify us for our trouble; and, if we never find him, we are directed to give the price to the poor, for the owner's welfare. H.
↑ 3Leviticus 6:4
Ver. 4. Convicted, by his own conscience, and by the judgment of the priest to whom he has confessed his sin. The Heb. expresses the different sorts of sins specified above, which the Vulgate denotes by the word offence.
↑ 4Leviticus 6:5
Ver. 5. Wronged. Heb. and Chaldee add, "in the day of his sin-offering;" and the Sept. "in which he has convicted." No unnecessary delay in making restitution can be allowed to the sincere penitent, who wishes to make his peace with God.
↑ 5Leviticus 6:6
Ver. 6. The. Heb. "thy estimation for a sin-offering." H. --- Wilful sins require a more noble victim than those of ignorance, which were expiated by the sacrifice of a goat. M.
↑ 6Leviticus 6:9
Ver. 9. Holocaust. The regulations respecting it, as they regard the priests, are here given, as C.
i. directions were given to those who represent the victims. --- Morning. All the parts of the victim were not laid on at the same time. The like was observed during the day also, when no other sacrifices were to be offered on this altar.
--- Of the same, not strange, unhallowed fire, but such as was kept continually burning on the altar of holocausts, as the Heb. intimates; "the fire of the altar shall be burning in it." During the marches in the desert, it is not written how this fire was preserved. The Persians believed that their eternal fire came down from heaven, and the vestal virgins kept their sacred fire at Rome, with superstitious care. Theophrastus (ap. Euseb.
præp. i. 9,) mentions the keeping of fire in the temples, as one of the most ancient rites of religion.
↑ 9Leviticus 6:11
Ver. 11. Others; such as were worn on common occasions, out of the tabernacle. --- And shall,
&c. Heb. has only, "unto a clean place," as the other versions and some Latin copies read. The meaning of the addition is, that all the bones, &c. must be perfectly reduced to dust, before they be carried out of the camp. C.
↑ 11Leviticus 6:12
Ver. 12. Fat, along with the whole burnt-offering. M.
↑ 12Leviticus 6:13
Ver. 13. The perpetual fire. This fire came from heaven, ( infra chap. ix. 24,) and was always kept burning on the altar: as a figure of the heavenly fire of divine love, which ought to be always burning in the heart of a Christian. Ch. --- It must be fed by assiduous meditation on the Scripture and holy things. D.
↑ 13Leviticus 6:14
Ver. 14. Sacrifice of flour, monee. C. ii. 1. --- And libations. These words are added, to shew that oil and wine accompanied this sacrifice.
↑ 14Leviticus 6:16
Ver. 16. He. Only the priests, who were actually officiating, could partake of it.
C.
↑ 16Leviticus 6:18
Ver. 18. Lord. As long as this law shall be enforced. M. --- Sanctified. Theodoret (q. 5,) seems to assert, that all such were obliged to serve the altar in some function or other. If any unclean person touched the victims wilfully, he was slain; if, by mistake, the blood sprinkled a garment, it was to be washed, v. 27.
↑ 18Leviticus 6:20
Ver. 20. Evening. And this shall continue as long as they are high priests, from the day of their consecration, (Josep. iii. 20.; Cajetan,) a perpetual sacrifice. C.
↑ 20Leviticus 6:22
Ver. 22. Rightfully. According to the law, which decides that, if the first-born be deformed, the next shall succeed. C. xxi. 18. Heb. "the priest, of his sons, who is anointed in his stead, shall offer it." No mention is made of its being hot, either here or in the Sept. H.
↑ 22Leviticus 6:23
Ver. 23. Sacrifice of flour, not of animals. Ex. xxix. 28.
↑ 23Leviticus 6:25
Ver. 25. Sin of individuals. The victims offered by the priest, or by the whole people, were to be burnt. C. iv. 7.
↑ 25Leviticus 6:26
Ver. 26. Tabernacle. No part shall be given to those who are not of the sacerdotal race. C.
↑ 26Leviticus 6:27
Ver. 27. Place, in the court, that so it may be worn again. M.
↑ 27Leviticus 6:28
Ver. 28. Sodden, or boiled. Such vessels, of private people, as had been used to boil part of the victim, (1 K ii. 13,) were either to be abandoned to the service of the altar, or broken, &c. C. ---
Earthen vessels might imbibe some part of the consecrated juice. M.
↑ 28Leviticus 6:30
Ver. 30. Fire. As they are the victims for the sins of the priest and of the people.
C. iv. 6. 18. M.
