The Sin Offering

1 Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: a‘If a person sins unintentionally against any of the commandments of the Lord in anything which ought not to be done, and does any of them,  
3 aif the anointed priest sins, bringing guilt on the people, then let him offer to the Lord for his sin which he has sinned ba young bull without blemish as a csin offering.  
4 He shall bring the bull ato the door of the tabernacle of meeting before the Lord, lay his hand on the bull’s head, and kill the bull before the Lord.  
5 Then the anointed priest shall atake some of the bull’s blood and bring it to the tabernacle of meeting.  
6 The priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle some of the blood seven times before the Lord, in front of the aveil of the sanctuary.

Leviticus 4:2

If a soul shall sin through ignorance - That is, if any man shall do what God has forbidden, or leave undone what God has commanded, through ignorance of the law relative to these points; as soon as the transgression or omission comes to his knowledge, he shall offer the sacrifice here prescribed, and shall not suppose that his ignorance is an excuse for his sin. He who, when his iniquity comes to his knowledge, refuses to offer such a sacrifice, sins obstinately and wilfully, and to him there remains no other sacrifice for sin - no other mode by which he can be reconciled to God, but he has a certain fearful looking for of judgment - which shall devour such adversaries; and this seems the case to which the apostle alludes, Hebrews 10:26, etc., in the words above quoted. There have been a great number of subtle questions started on this subject, both by Jews and Christians, but the above I believe to be the sense and spirit of the law.
