King James Version with Web Encyclopedia Links:Leviticus 1
Leviticus 4

Offerings from Baker's Evangelical Dictionary of Biblical Theology

Leviticus 4
David Guzik from his commentary states 'The idea behind "If a person sins unintentionally" is not so much of an "accidental" sin, but of a sin committed by a person who basically loves God. The contrast to an "unintentional" sin is to sin presumptuously (Numbers 15:30) - literally, to sin "with a high hand." There is no atonement available for the one whose heart is so defiantly turned against the Lord.'

Sin Offering is discussed in great detail. The sin offering was a young bull without defect was for unintentional sins for the high priest (v. 2-12) and the community of Israel (v. 13-21). A male goat without defect was offered if a leader sins unintentionally (v. 22-27). A female goat or lamb without defect was offered for the common person (v.27-31).

Today, all purposes of these Five Offerings are fulfilled in Jesus Christ. He is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.(John 2:29,36). The term Lamb of God refers to the sacrifices and not to any of
the Five Main Offerings.
