Chumash Classes: Tzav, Part 4

Chp. 6 verses 21 - 23: Continues with the sin offering. The earthen ware vessel in which the meat was cooked had to be broken. A copper vessel could be scoured and rinsed and used again. Only male priests in a state of purity and in a holy place could partake of the offering. If the blood was sprinkled in the tent the whole sacrifice was invalid and would have to been burnt. Chp. 7 verses 1 - 12: begins with the laws of the guilt offering. It was sacrificed in the same place that the burnt offering was. Both the sin offering and the guilt offering shared the same laws in order to attain atonement for the penitent. The priests who brought the sacrifice kept the hide.
