Leviticus 5:11

“But if he be not able to bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, etc.] Which is supposing a man to be in the poorest circumstances he can well be; and such is the grace and goodness of God, that he has provided for the atonement and forgiveness of the poorest, as well as of the rich: then he that hath sinned shall bring for his offering the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering; which is an omer, (<021636>Exodus 16:36) and is as much as a man can eat in one day, as Aben Ezra remarks: he shall put no oil upon it, neither shall he put [any] frankincense thereon; to distinguish it from the common meat offering, which had both, (<030301>Leviticus 3:1) and to make it as…”

“Special occasions are mentioned on which sin-offerings are to be made with a particular confession of the offence for which atonement is sought Leviticus 5:5. Leviticus 5:1 Swearing - Adjuration. The case appears to be that of one who has been put upon his oath as a witness by a magistrate, and fails to utter all he has seen and heard (compare the marginal references. and Proverbs 29:24; Numbers 5:21). Leviticus 5:2-3 Hid from him - Either through forgetfulness or indifference, so that purification had been neglected. In such a case there had been a guilty negligence, and a sin-offering was required. On the essential connection between impurity and the sin-offering, see Leviticus 12:1.…”

“The tenth part of an ephah - About six pints. He shall put no oil, neither frankincense - Either to distinguish these from the meal - offerings, Lev 2:1, or as a fit expression of their sorrow for their sins, in the sense whereof they were to abstain from things pleasant; or to signify that by his sins he deserved to be utterly deprived both of the oil of gladness, the gifts, graces and comforts of the Holy Ghost; and of God's gracious acceptance of his prayers and sacrifices, which is signified by incense, Psa 141:2. Leviticus 5:13”

“5:11 The sin offering was not to be adorned with olive oil or . . . frankincense. These were required for the grain offering, which was the individual’s gift to the Lord (see 2:1), given to express worship. The sin offering made atonement; its purpose was to obtain forgiveness, requiring that the offering be completely unadorned.”

“But if: Lev 5:7 the tenth part: Exo 16:18, Exo 16:36 fine flour: Lev 2:1; Num 7:13, 19-89, Num 15:4-9 no oil: Lev 2:1, Lev 2:2, Lev 2:4, Lev 2:5, Lev 2:15, Lev 2:16; Num 5:15; Psa. 22:1-21, 69:1-21; Isa 53:2-10 for it is: Lev 5:6, Lev 5:9, Lev 5:12; Co2 5:21 Leviticus 5:12”
