The sin offering deals with unintentional sin, and the blood makes atonement.
The priest shall make atonement for them, and they shall be forgiven.
When a person, a leader, or the whole congregation sins unintentionally, a sin offering is brought. The blood is put on the horns of the altar. The fat is burned. The body of some sin offerings is burned outside the camp. Aaron makes atonement, and they are forgiven. The Day of Atonement is the sin offering for the nation. Hebrews says the bodies of those animals were burned outside the camp, and Jesus suffered outside the gate. He is the sin offering the animals could not finish.
- The offering varies by who sinned: bull for the priest or the people, goat for a leader, lamb or goat for a person.
- Unintentional is the word Leviticus uses. High-handed sin is another case.
- Forgiveness is announced after atonement, not before the blood.
The priest shall make atonement, and they shall be forgiven.
