Sounds awful

Leviticus chapter four tells us about sin offerings.

It mentions that if the priest sins, he brings guilt on the people.

 

If it is the anointed priest who sins, thus bringing guilt on the people…

Lev 4.3

That will teach a man to be careful.

And, if it was the priest who sinned, an additional task that is his, after burning the fat of the bull, is to carry the hide, the head, the flesh, the legs, the entrails and the offals (“offals” sounds like “awfuls,” and it is!) outside the camp to burn the whole kit and caboodle a distance away from things. Sounds like no fun at all.

 

Usually, the blood of the sacrifice gets sprinkled or spread on, or around, the altar where the sacrifice gets burnt. But with two of the three sin offerings, the priest first takes in inside the tabernacle to sprinkle it seven time before the veil. Following which, some of it gets applied to the horns of the altar of incense, which is not the same altar where animals get burnt.

 

 

There are other specifics when it is the common people who sin, or the ruler.

Who would ever think that a ruler would sin?

 

Just ask David.
