Contextual Overview

1The Lord told Moses what the people must do when they commit other sins against the Lord : You have sinned if you rob or cheat someone, if you keep back money or valuables left in your care, or if you find something and claim not to have it. 4 When this happens, you must return what doesn't belong to you 5 and pay the owner a fine of twenty percent. 6In addition, you must either bring to the priest a ram that has nothing wrong with it or else pay him for one. The priest will then offer it as a sacrifice to make things right, and you will be forgiven for what you did wrong.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he shall bring his trespass [offering] unto the Lord,.... That is, to the tabernacle of the Lord, to the altar of the Lord in it, and to his priest ministering therein, as it follows:

a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass [offering] unto the priest; the same offering that was ordered for a trespass through ignorance, Leviticus 5:16 typical of the sacrifice of Christ offered up both for sins of ignorance and wilful transgressions, for his blood cleanses from all sin,

Leviticus 5:16- :; the phrase "with thy estimation", used there also Leviticus 5:16, is here interpreted by Ben Gersom of two shekels, the value the ram was to be of, brought for the trespass offering.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Leviticus 6:6. With thy estimationLeviticus 5:15; Leviticus 5:15.
