Leviticus 4:3-5
The Voice
Sin is serious business; it destroys one’s relationship with God and can even endanger entire communities. So sin must be dealt with seriously. God provides a process whereby sin may be forgiven and guilt may be set aside. It begins with admitting you are wrong and then following the requisite sacrifices. But note: these sacrifices only atone for sins committed unwittingly. There is no sacrifice offered for sins committed deliberately.
Eternal One: 3 If the person anointed as priest commits a sin, he brings guilt on the people and they suffer the consequences. So the priest must offer the most valuable animal—an unblemished, young bull—to Me as a purification offering for sin. 4 He must bring the bull to the entrance of the congregation tent, place his hand on the bull’s head, and slaughter it in My presence. 5 The anointed priest must then carry some of the bull’s blood inside the congregation tent.
