There is a difference

OK

I see some light.

My friend Scott helped me see that there is a difference, in these early chapters of Levitucus (specifically chapter five), between uncleanness and sin. Uncleanness from touching a carcass of something you were not supposed to touch, uncleanness from menstrual cycle, etc., is not a sin.

Sin is atoned for with a sacrifice.

Uncleanness is taken care of with ritual washings, and things like that.

Uncleanness becomes sin when not attended to, or while in that state the person touches a holy thing,

or enters into tabernacle, or eats meat from one of the sacrifices that allows eating part of it, etc.

Today we enter into the presence of the Lord, wholly clean.

We got a good deal.
