Sin offering

So now he has a smooth feather stick, uh, of the, of the feather and he took away the hairs of the side.

חייש שלוש חטאות.

He would be ha-- he would be liable to gi-- to bring three קרבנות.

He violated three prohibitions.

בה ורש"י, so how does the Rash"y explain them? How did he, uh, how did he violate these three, uh, חטאות? Because תולש חייב the reason why he's חייב for detaching it, the first act of removing the feather from the wing, משום גוזז, because that's a derivative of the job of shearing the wool.

And כותם חייב and the reason why cutting off the top of the feather itself is חייב משום מחתך, because that is cutting around and one cuts the leather, makes it the size into shape.

That's gonna be a derivative from the tool of the מחתך of cutting the, the leather, the skin.

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, tell the Israelites when someone sins unintentionally against any of God's commands and does anything prohibited by them.

If the anointed priest sins, bringing guilt on the people, he is to present to the Lord a young unblemished bull as a sin offering for the sin he has committed.

Let's pray.

God, I ask that you would still our hearts and minds this morning.

Our next point is the greatest news of all time.

God has made a way and ultimately that way is Christ Jesus.

Leviticus 4 shows God's Old Testament solution for sin, the sin offering.

He uses this to begin to show us his eternal sin offering.

Leviticus 4.1 says, And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin through against any of the commandments of the Lord concerning things which ought not to be done, and shall do against any of them." But the key thing I want you to highlight here is first, through ignorance, and second, against any of the commandments of the Lord.

So what I'm seeing here is that the sin offering is in direct correlation to the giving of the law.

In other words, before this became law, if one is not aware, if there is no law, one would not be aware.

So when, when it's written here saying, If a soul shall sin through ignorance, and by the way, that Hebrew word, which I'm going to try and remember off the top of my head, is bishgage, which is inadvertent.

And the last one is in verse 35, and it shall be forgiven him.

So we can see some bullet points immediately.

The fourth chapter under the heading of sin offerings, and I need to explain this clearer, shows the first category of sin offering, if you read, is broken down first by people.

You have the priest, and just an interesting note, what it says about the priest there, that's the only place in the Bible that you're going to read about the priest, if the priest that is anointed.

You shall burn with fire outside the camp.

It is a sin offering.

So the bull mentioned back in verse one is now to be brought to the tent.

And Aaron and his sons are to lay their hands on the bull.

And so this bull is a substitute for themselves.

Verse 14 tells us that.

Verse 14 tells us, it clarifies, it says, this is a sin offering.

And then Moses is to take some of the blood of the bull and put it on the horns of the altar.

He is to lay his hand on the head of the goat and slaughter it in the place where they slaughter the burnt offering before Adonai.

It is a sin offering.

There it is again.

You see it oftentimes in scripture, y'all.

Lay your hand on the head of the animal.

It is a sin offering.

Okay, remember this.

Remember this.
