Leviticus 5:7–13

Poor people also needed to receive atonement and be restored to God. For those who could not afford a lamb, the law allowed them to bring birds instead (Leviticus 5:7; compare 1:14–17). Normally, atonement required the blood of an animal (17:11). But in his grace, God permitted even an offering of flour when a person was too poor to afford two birds (5:11).

Leviticus 4:1–5:13

The sin offering is called khatta’t in Hebrew, from the root khata’. It means "to lack, fall short, miss, fail." The people made this offering when they unintentionally violated specific commands of God (see also Numbers 15:22–29). The purpose of this offering was to repair a loss or fix a failure (for example, Leviticus 5:1–4).

Although all Christians sin, God will forgive us if we confess them (Galatians 6:1; 1 John 1:8–9). Yet, the Scripture warns against sinning "defiantly" or "deliberately" (Numbers 15:30–31; Hebrews 10:26–29; 6:4–6).
