Leviticus 04 Bible Study - Sin Offering (Part 1)

The sin offering (also known as the purification offering) is covered in Leviticus chapter 4 as well as the first thirteen verses of chapter 5. In this study, we will look at the first portion, as outlined in Leviticus chapter 4. The sin offering was an offering required when an individual (or group) had sinned unintentionally. The offering atoned for the sin and cleansed them from unrighteousness. What is the application for this for us today? Do we have such an offering for our sin?

Outline:
00:08 - Introduction to sin/purification offering
This is a required offering
These are also newly established
The Sin offering is atonement made for unintentional sin
03:48 - Lev 4.1-2 - intro for all sin offerings
04:45 - What is the definition of sin? Leviticus 4.2: “Does what is forbidden in any of the Lord’s commands” 1 John 3.4
08:54 - What is unintentional sin?
Word study: שְׁגָגָה šᵊḡāḡâ “Sha-gaw-gaw” “sin of error or inadvertent sin”
Psalm 19.12: cleanse thou me from secret faults. - KJV (hidden)- NIV
13:20 - What is intentional or defiant sin?
Num15.30-31 “‘But anyone who sins defiantly, whether native-born or foreigner, blasphemes the Lord and must be cut off from the people of Israel. 31 Because they have despised the Lord’s word and broken his commands, they must surely be cut off; their guilt remains on them.’”
2 Sam 11-13
Psalm 51
19:27 - Lev 4.3-12 - If the “anointed priest” sins
HEB 5.1-6
Jesus is our high priest “order of Melchizedek, read (read Heb 7-10)
27:04 - Lev 4.13-21 - If the “whole Israelite community” sins
30:02 - Lev 4.22-26 - If “a leader” sins
31:31 - Lev 4.27-35 - If “any member of the community” sins
33:53 - Let's look at the differences
The animal sacrificed: A young bull, a male goat, a female goat or a lamb
Treatment of the blood.
The first two offerings (anointed priest and community) the blood is sprinkled via a finger in front of the curtain dividing the holy place and the most holy place. As well as on the horns of the altar of incense.
The second two offerings (leader and individual) the blood is put on the horns of the bronze altar (outside the tent) - WHY the difference?
37:31 - APPLICATION: Jesus is our sin offering.
