Leviticus 5:19

Verse 19. Lord. Hebrew “It is a victim for the sin which he has committed against the Lord.” From this chapter, as well as from Numbers 5:7, it is obvious that a special confession was necessary, not only for those who had fallen into the disorder of leprosy, which was a figure of sin, and often inflicted by God in punishment of it; but also, when they had given way to the smallest transgression against the commands and ceremonies of the Lord. Bible.—This custom is still observed by the Jews. Galatinus x. 3.
