and the priest.
• He demanded as the fine of the Trespass offering the fifth part, or a double tithe. (“Chapter 19. Trespass Offering: Leviticus 5:14-19” by W. Kelly)
• An Israelite might sin in the holy things of the Lord in various ways. For instance he might underestimate the size of his annual crop, and so ignorantly bring to the priest a lesser tithe than the law demanded. But, when the truth of the condition of things was brought to his attention, he was not to pass over the offence as a matter of no moment, but he was to bring a trespass offering, and with it the estimated amount, to which he added by direction of the priest the fifth part. (“Lecture 5: The Trespass Offering” by H.A. Ironside)
• In Psalm 69 we hear the Holy Sufferer on Calvary saying, “Then I restored that which I took not away.” We had robbed God; He became our trespass offering, and He, thereby, made amends to God for all the wrong we had done, and added the fifth part thereto. For we are not to think for a moment of the sufferings of our Savior as though they barely sufficed to atone for our transgressions. There was in that work of Calvary such infinite value that it not only met all the actual sins of all who would ever believe in Him, but there was over and above that such value as will never be drawn upon by all the repentant sinners in the universe of God. (“Lecture 5: The Trespass Offering” by H.A. Ironside)
