Sin offering

A Sin offering is a sacrifice for sin : something offered as an expiation for sin. It was often an animal sacrifice in ancient Jewish but could be anything of value and given as religious gift classified as ceremony in which the blood (the right to use it) is smeared on the altar(given unto the living stones of the altars). The choice parts and fat parts are burned there, and the remainder is burned outside the sanctuary.

In fact these things of value offered could now be used to fund the social safety net of the Israelites.

The biggest difference between the burnt offering and other offerings is that to make a burnt offering the entire gift on the altar, symbolizing total commitment or surrender to God and the ministers of God to create a daily ministration based on gifts and not taxation which is used to support legal charity. As you read, think about different ways the burnt offering can teach us about the Atonement according to The Way of Christ and the Corban of Christ.
