Laws for Sin Offerings
(Leviticus 5:1–13; Leviticus 6:24–30)
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites to do as follows with one who sins unintentionally against any of the LORD’s commandments and does what is forbidden by them: Psa 19:12Heb 9:7Lev 4:27Num 15:22-291Sa 14:27Jas 3:10Lev 5:15-181Ti 1:13
If the anointed priest sins, bringing guilt on the people, he must bring to the LORD a young bull without blemish as a sin offering 1for the sin he has committed. Heb 7:27-28Lev 9:22Co 5:21Lev 4:14Ezr 8:35Heb 5:3Exo 29:14Exo 29:21 He must bring the bull to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting before the LORD, lay his hand on the bull’s head, and slaughter it before the LORD. Lev 1:3-41Pe 3:18Dan 9:26Exo 29:10-11Isa 53:6Lev 16:21 Then the anointed priest shall take some of the bull’s blood and bring it into the Tent of Meeting. Lev 16:14Lev 4:16-17Num 19:41Jn 1:7Lev 16:19 The priest is to dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle some of it seven times before the LORD, in front of the veil of the sanctuary. Jos 6:4Jos 6:8Lev 14:18Lev 16:14Lev 16:19Lev 26:18Lev 26:24Lev 26:28 The priest must then put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of fragrant incense that is before the LORD in the Tent of Meeting. And he is to pour out the rest of the bull’s blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. Lev 8:15Lev 9:9Lev 16:18Lev 4:18Lev 4:34Lev 5:9Lev 4:30Eph 2:13 Then he shall remove all the fat from the bull of the sin offering—the fat that covers the entrails, all the fat that is on them, Lev 3:3-5Lev 4:26Isa 53:10Jhn 12:27Lev 16:25Lev 3:14-16Lev 3:9-11Lev 4:19 both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which he is to remove with the kidneys— Lev 3:4 just as the fat is removed from the ox of the peace offering. Then the priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering. But the hide of the bull and all its flesh, with its head and legs and its entrails and dung— Num 19:5Exo 29:14Heb 13:11-13Lev 16:27Lev 4:21Lev 6:30Lev 8:14-17Lev 9:8-11 all the rest of the bull—he must take outside the camp to a ceremonially clean place where the ashes are poured out, and there he must burn it on a wood fire on the ash heap.
