“This is the law of the burnt offering, of the meat offering, and of the sin offering, and of the trespass offering, and of the consecrations, and of the sacrifice of the peace offerings;”
These, then, are the regulations for the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering, the guilt offering, the ordination offering and the fellowship offering. The comprehensive summary lists all six offering types covered in Leviticus 1–7: burnt, grain, sin, guilt, ordination, and fellowship. The ordination offering — mentioned here but not separately regulated in these chapters — is the offering that will be described in Leviticus 8 during the installation of the priests. The summary signals the completion of the first major section of Leviticus. Hebrews 10:1 says the law is only a shadow of the good things to come — the six offerings of Leviticus 1–7 are the Old Testament's most comprehensive institutional shadow of the one offering that fulfills them all.
