Rules and regulations about what sacrifices are to be offered and why, when & how they are to be offered.
Action is to be taken "...when they sin in any of these ways and realize their guilt." It seems to me that the same is true today. Not that we have to make these offerings but that we need to to take action as soon as we realize our guilt...whether it's asking forgiveness, making restitution or reconciliation.
I also note that 5:17 says, “If anyone sins and does what is forbidden in any of the LORD’s commands, even though they do not know it, they are guilty and will be held responsible." This reinforces an observation made in a previous post.
I can't help but notice how much blood is involved in OT worship and specifically in the atonement for sin. God is already preparing His people to understand and receive the sacrifice of Jesus.
