- trespass offering:
- It is remarkable, that in this and the following verse, the sacrifice offered is indifferently called asham, a trespass offering, and chattath, a sin offering; yet the Marginal References show that these differ in several respects. Sin offerings were sometimes offered for the whole congregation; trespass offerings never, but only for particular persons. Bullocks were sometimes used for sin offerings, never for trespass offerings. The blood of the sin offerings was put on the horns of the altar, that of the trespass offerings was only sprinkled round the bottom of the altar. The sin offering seems to have been for the expiation of offences committed in matters of religion, from a mistake or inadvertency respecting the law; but the trespass offering was required for the casual deviations from the ritual law, when well known, or for crimes against moral precepts, implying injustice to man. "Or¹ if his sin,ª which¹ he hath sinned,ª° come to his knowledge:ª°¹ then he shall bringª° his offering,ª a kidª of the goats,ª a femaleª without blemish,ª for¹ his sinª which¹ he hath sinned.ª°" {Lev 4:28} + "And if¹ he bringª° a lambª for a sinª offering,ª he shall bringª° it a femaleª without blemish.ª" {Lev 4:32} + "And he shall bringª° his trespass offeringª unto the LORD,ª a ramª without blemishª out of¹ the flock,ª with thy estimation,ª for a trespass offering,ª unto¹ the priest:ª" {Lev 6:6} + "Likewise this¹ [is] the lawª of the trespass offering:ª it¹ [is] most² holy.ª ... As the sin offeringª [is], so [is] the trespass offering:ª [there is] oneª lawª for them: the priestª that¹ maketh atonementª° therewith shall have¹ [it]." {Lev 7:1-7} + "And the priestª shall takeª°¹ oneª he lamb,ª and offerª° him for a trespass offering,ª and the logª of oil,ª and waveª° them [for] a wave offeringª beforeª the LORD:ª ... And he shall slayª°¹ the lambª in the placeª where¹ he shall killª°¹ the sin offeringª and the burnt offering,ª in the holyª place:ª for¹ as the sin offeringª [is] the priest's,ª [so is] the trespass offering:ª it¹ [is] most² holy:ª" {Lev 14:12-13} + "And he shall bringª°¹ his trespass offeringª unto the LORD,ª unto¹ the doorª of the tabernacleª of the congregation,ª [even] a ramª for a trespass offering.ª ... And the priestª shall make an atonementª° for¹ him with the ramª of the trespass offeringª beforeª the LORDª for¹ his sinª which¹ he hath done:ª° and the sinª¹ which¹ he hath doneª° shall be forgivenª° him." {Lev 19:21-22} + "And he shall consecrateª° unto the LORDª¹ the daysª of his separation,ª and shall bringª° a lambª of the firstª yearª for a trespass offering:ª but the daysª that were beforeª shall be lost,ª° because¹ his separationª was defiled.ª°" {Num 6:12} + "And in the porchª of the gateª [were] twoª tablesª on this side,¹¹ and two¹ tablesª on that side,¹¹ to slayª° thereon¹ the burnt offeringª and the sin offeringª and the trespass offering.ª" {Ezk 40:39} + "Then saidª° he unto¹ me, The northª chambersª [and] the southª chambers,ª which¹ [are] beforeª¹ the separate place,ª they¹ [be] holyª chambers,ª where¹¹ the priestsª that¹ approachª unto the LORDª shall eatª° the most² holy things:ª there¹ shall they lay²°¹ the most² holy things,ª and the meat offering,ª and the sin offering,ª and the trespass offering;ª for¹ the placeª [is] holy.ª" {Ezk 42:13}
