Leviticus 15:30

Arabic Bible AVD 1999 (الكتاب المقدس)

فَيَعْمَلُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ: ٱلْوَاحِدَ ذَبِيحَةَ خَطِيَّةٍ، وَٱلْآخَرَ مُحْرَقَةً. وَيُكَفِّرُ عَنْهَا ٱلْكَاهِنُ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ مِنْ سَيْلِ نَجَاسَتِهَا.

What Does This Mean?

In this verse, God is instructing priests on how to perform rituals to atone for a woman's uncleanness. The priest offers one animal as a sin offering and another as a burnt offering to seek forgiveness and make her right with God.

Explained for Children

Imagine if you made a big mess in the house and felt really bad about it. The priest is like a helper who brings special gifts to say sorry for the mess, and God cleans it up and makes everything okay again.

Historical Background
