King James Version with Web Encyclopedia links: Leviticus 6; Leviticus 7; Hebrews 8
Offerings from Baker's Evangelical Dictionary of Biblical Theology
In Leviticus 6, mention is made of restitution when something is stolen, the full amount of the item stolen must be returned in addition to a restitution tax. Discussion are also made of the regulations for the Burnt, Grain and Sin Offerings for Aaron and his sons. See February 16th and 17th Readings for further discussion.
In Leviticus 7, there are the regulations for the Guilt, Fellowship Offerings for Aaron and his sons.
How are these Five Offerings related to each other? In the Old Testament times,when a person sins and needs forgiveness, a sin or guilt offering is presented. After forgiveness is received the person wants to consecrate himself to God and worship, then a burnt offering or grain offering is presented. Since fellowship with God is restored, then the forgiven sinner can have fellowship with God and his neighbor, a fellowship offering is presented.
Today, all purposes of these Five Offerings are fulfilled in Jesus Christ. He is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.(John 2:29,36). The term Lamb of God refers to the sacrifices and not to any of
the Five Main Offerings.

Hebrews 8
The High Priest, Jesus, we have today is far superior to the High Priests of Aaron lineage. He sits at the right hand of God! He is the mediator (v. 6) for us. He knows what we have been through remember he spent 33 years on erth. He experienced every human emotions that we faced. Because of Jesus, we have a better covenant with God, the New Covenant, which is based on grace not on works (Ephesians 2.8-10). The acrostic grace means 'God's Riches at Christ Expense.' The New Covenant was prophesied by Jeremiah in Jeremiah 31.31-34: 31"Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah-- 32not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them,[a] says the LORD. 33But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 34No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, "Know the LORD,' for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more."
