leviticus 4

Summary
Outlines the laws regarding sin offerings, detailing the procedures for offering sacrifices to atone for unintentional sins committed by the high priest, the congregation, leaders, or individuals.

Key Points
- If the high priest sins, he must offer a young bull without blemish as a sin offering, and the blood is to be sprinkled before the veil of the sanctuary (Leviticus 4:3-7).
- If the whole congregation sins unintentionally, they must offer a young bull, and the elders are to lay their hands on its head before it is slaughtered (Leviticus 4:13-15).
- If a leader sins unintentionally, he must offer a male goat without blemish, and the blood is to be applied to the horns of the altar of burnt offering (Leviticus 4:22-25).
- If an individual sins unintentionally, they must offer a female goat or lamb without blemish, and the blood is to be applied to the horns of the altar of burnt offering (Leviticus 4:27-30).
- The fat of the sin offering is to be burned on the altar, and the rest of the bull or goat is to be taken outside the camp and burned (Leviticus 4:8-12, 21, 26, 31, 35).
