John Fleck presents a detailed exposition of the sin offering from Leviticus chapters 4-6. John explains that the sin offering represents a significant shift from the previous “sweet savour offerings” (burnt, meal, and peace offerings) to offerings that deal with human failure and the restoration of broken fellowship with God. These offerings were specifically for sins committed “through ignorance” – unintentional, inadvertent sins against God’s commandments, not premeditated or presumptuous sins. John outlines four distinct categories of people who required sin offerings, along with a variety of ceremonial practices associated with the offerings.
