Leviticus 5:1–19 introduces to the reader the integral part that confession of sin is held within sacrificial worship. The worshipper needed to display a broken and contrite heart which would in turn lead him to confess it aloud. Confession, as revealed in this chapter, includes an acknowledgement of one's sins and one's responsibility for those sins. This attitude on the part of the worshipper was essential if the offering was to be efficacious. Confession of sin, particularly sins of omission, must still form a part of our worship today. After all, New testament believers have the promise, If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness
(1 John 1:9).
13 Thus the priest shall make atonement for him for the sin which he has committed in any one of these things, and he shall be forgiven. And the remainder shall be for the priest, as in the grain offering.”
