The Sacrificial System in the Hebrew ScripturesKorban Chova: Obligatory SacrificesKorban Khatat-Sin Offerings (Literally “sacrifices due to sin”)Introduced in Leviticus 6:24-30, this was an obligatory sacrifice due of sin as defined in the Torah. This was most commonly based on the neglect of the broken commandment and was offered on the northern side of the altar (which was out of sight of the people) so as not to publicly humiliate the sinner (the Olah was conducted in the same way). Depending on social position, it would consist of the following: High Priest: a bull without blemish Congregation: a bull without blemish An authority over the people: a goat without blemish Individual: goat or lamb without blemish In case of extreme poverty, one could offer refined flour instead of the above. The purpose behind this offering was to atone for sins committed against one's will where punishment was impossible. The Portions: God's Portion: fatty portions (khelev) to be burned on the altar ala Korban Olah. If the offering was made for the High Priest or the Congregation, the remainder of the bull was to be burned outside the priest's portion of the camp; when the offering was for an authority of the people or an individual, the remainder of the goat or lamb was to be eaten within the courtyard of the Tabernacle. Offerer's Portion: NoneKorban Asham-Transgression Offerings (literally “guilt”) Introduced in Leviticus 7:1-7, this was an obligatory offering due to sin as defined in the Torah. The sin in this case was normally serious, such as those committed by the authorities, against the Tabernacle, or theft. This offering consisted of the following: An unblemished ram, with restitution decided by the priest according to his estimate of the offense plus a... middle of paper...: From the flock (male or female) without blemishLower class: From the goatsThese Offerings were further divided into three classes:Zevakh Todah (Sacrifices of Gratitude)An unexpected blessingZevakh Neder (Sacrifices from Vows)Release from a vow, such as Nazirity.Zevakh N'davah (Sacrifices of Freedom Will)General ThanksgivingPortions:God's Portion : fatty portion burned on the altar Priest's portion: breast (waved offering) or right thigh (raised offering) to be eaten in the courts of the tabernacle Offerer's portion: a shared portion, to be eaten in the court of the Tabernacle with the family. Todah was to be eaten on the same day, Neder and N'davah were to be eaten on the first and second day.
