(KJV) Leviticus 4:3
If the priest that is anointed do sin according to the sin of the people; then let him bring for his sin, which he hath sinned, a young bullock without blemish unto the Lord for a sin offering.
SIN OFFERING / LEVITICUS 4:3
God required sin offerings so that those who sinned unintentionally, or without realizing that they had broken the law (Leviticus 4:2), could receive forgiveness. On the other hand, intentional sins were punishable by death (Numbers 15:30-31; Hebrews 10:28). A guilt offering (similar to the sin offering) was used for those who had committed a sin or injury for which they themselves could provide full compensation or repayment (Leviticus 6:2-6; 5:15). Sin offerings also were necessary for ceremonial cleansing (Leviticus 12:6-8; 14:13-17; Numbers 6:11).
- The sin offering was a prophetic symbol pointing toward Christ’s atoning (“sin-covering” and “forgiveness-providing”) death by which He took the punishment for our sins. Unlike the Old Testament sin offering, Christ’s death provided a perfect, once-and-for-all covering for sin (Isaiah 53; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Ephesians 1:7; Hebrews 9:11-12).
- New Testament followers of Christ need the ongoing and continuing atonement that Christ’s blood provides to cover mistakes, weaknesses and unintentional failings that result from our weak human nature (Psalms 19:12). However, sins resulting from direct rebellion against God and His Word will lead to judgment and spiritual death. Only as we confess and turn away from them do we show that we are depending on Christ’s atonement to provide the forgiveness we need (Hebrews 2:3; 10:26, 31; 2 Peter 2:20-21).
