Leviticus 6

More regulations for the various sacrifices and offerings. As I've said before, this all just makes me glad that we no longer have to go through all of these motions and sacraments. The first section of the reading relates to the guilt offerings that were discussed yesterday, though, and it I found interesting. Specifically the requirement that a thief (or other person who has sinned by taking what is not theirs) give back what they took along with an additional fifth is very interesting. In some ways that seems like letting someone off easy, but at the same time it might be enough to make someone think twice before committing a crime.
