Leviticus 4: Bring a Sin Offering

Sins of ignorance—unintentionally done—are treated in this reading. This type of violation required a sacrifice. We are not told how often people actually did this, but the cost in time and animals would be enormous for people who did not exercise their minds in learning the law and exercise their wills in keeping it! But the cost for our sins to God—well, that is what the law was foreshadowing, wasn’t it? Read this chapter with great reverence and gratefulness.
