This chapter speaks about the sin offering. Sins of ignorance needed forgiveness. Sin is related to ignorance because there’s a big difference between sin and trespass. This makes the sin offering and trespass offering different.
The word “hamartia” means missing the mark. You can still try to hit the mark and miss it and it would still be sin.
Trespass is missing the mark purposely. You know what your doing and know God doesn’t want you to do it but you so it anyway. It’s a willful act against God.
Everything of the animal was burnt with fire outside of the camp.

May 28, 2013 @ 14:46I didn't realize you were doing this!! I love it and will try to visit often now that I know you are reading through the bible. I have read the bible many times with different versions hoping it will help me understand it more. Leviticus is not my favorite though. I have a hard time understanding why certain things happen and how to relate this to today. I am impressed too!! A new follower.
