When a priest entered the sanctuary to minister after his cleaning he was to offer his sin-offering Ezekiel 44:27. P gives several grades:
a. a ruler should offer a Hebrews -goat Leviticus 4:24,25; Numbers 7:16,22,28,34,40,46,52,58,64,70,76,82,87; an ordinary person a she-goat Leviticus 4:29 (compare Leviticus 4:28) Leviticus 5:6; Numbers 15:27, ewe lamb Leviticus 4:32,33 (twice in verse); Leviticus 4:34; Leviticus 14:19; Numbers 6:14,16, a turtle dove or young pigeon Leviticus 5:7,8,9 (twice in verse); Leviticus 12:6,8; Leviticus 14:22,31; Leviticus 15:15,30; Numbers 6:11, or one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour Leviticus 5:11 (twice in verse); Leviticus 5:12; according to ability of the person, and nature of offence. The victim was brought unto the tent of meeting, the hands of the offerer laid on its head, it was slaughtered by the offerer, the priest took some of the blood and put it on horns of altar of burnt-offering and the rest of the blood he poured out at the base of it, to cover over the sin, or cleanse the altar from the sin defiling it. All the fat pieces (compare Leviticus 4:22,35) and a handful of the flour (compare Leviticus 5:12) were burned on altar. The rest of the flesh and the flour were eaten by priests in court of Holy place Leviticus 5:13; Leviticus 6:10; Leviticus 6:18 (twice in verse); Leviticus 6:23 (compare Leviticus 6:11; Leviticus 6:19), Leviticus 7:7; Leviticus 10:16,17,19 (twice in verse); Leviticus 14:13; Numbers 18:9.
b. a bullock was offered for priests Exodus 29:14,36; Leviticus 4:3,8,20; Leviticus 8:2,14 (twice in verse); Leviticus 9:2,7,8,10; for Levites at their installation Numbers 8:8,12and for whole congregation Leviticus 4:14,21; but usually offering for congregation was Hebrews -goat Numbers 15:24,25, especially at dedication of altar Leviticus 9:3,15,22. and in ritual of feasts Numbers 28:15,22,30; Numbers 29:5,11,16,19,22,25,28,31,34,38. Before consecration of the tabernacle the blood went to altar of burnt-offering ( Leviticus 9:9), but subsequently some of it was sprinkled seven times before the vail and some of it put on horns of altar of incense to cleanse this higher altar; the fast pieces were burned on altar of burnt-offering, and the rest of the victim burned without the camp ( Leviticus 4:3-21; Leviticus 6:23; Leviticus 8:16,17; Leviticus 9:10,11).
c. on day of atonement, sin-offering for high priest was a bullock Leviticus 16:3,6; and for congregation two Hebrews -goats, one לַעֲזָאזֵל (see עזאזל) Leviticus 16:5 (compare Leviticus 16:8; Leviticus 16:10; Leviticus 16:20; Leviticus 16:22), the other for sacrifice ליהוה Leviticus 16:9 (compare Leviticus 16:8). Some of the blood of Aaron's bullock was first taken into innermost sanctuary and sprinkled on the כפרת and seven times before it; so also blood of the Hebrews -goat Leviticus 16:11 (twice in verse); Leviticus 16:15 (compare Leviticus 16:12-14; Leviticus 16:16; Leviticus 16:17) to cleanse highest altar: then the blood of the two victims was applied to lower altars as in a and b and so sin was covered over at the three altars Exodus 30:10 (compare Leviticus 16:16-19). The fat pieces went to altar of burnt-offering and the rest of the victims was burnt without the camp Leviticus 16:25,27 (twice in verse). (Sins which might be covered over were limited to those committed בשׁגגה Leviticus 4:2,22,27; Numbers 15:27, לשׁגגה Numbers 15:24, minor offences Leviticus 5:1-6; and ceremonial uncleanness Leviticus 12:6,8; Leviticus 14:13; Leviticus 15:15; Numbers 6:11,14.) — Pharses for sacrificing are: ׳עשׂה ח Leviticus 9:7,22; Leviticus 14:19; Numbers 6:16; Ezekiel 45:17, ׳הקריב ח Leviticus 10:19; Ezekiel 44:27, ׳שׁחט ח Leviticus 14:13; Ezekiel 40:39.
5 purification from sins of ceremonial uncleanness, all P: ׳ח׳מֵ Numbers 8:7 water of purification from sin; הוּא׳מֵי נִדָּה ח water of (cleansing from) impurity, it is a purification from sin Numbers 19:9; ׳עֲפַר שְׂרֵפַת הח Numbers 19:17 ashes of the burning of the purification from sin (RV renders sin-offering; but there was no offering made, only water of purification was used).
