Leviticus 4:20

²⁰Doing so with this calf, as he did also with that before: and the priest praying for them, the Lord will be merciful unto them.

Leviticus 4 meticulously outlines the regulations for the sin offering (ḥaṭṭāʾt), detailing specific procedures for unintentional sins committed by different categories of people: the high priest, the entire community, a leader, and an ordinary person. This chapter highlights God's provision for atonement even for sins committed in ignorance, emphasizing the seriousness of sin and the necessity of a blood sacrifice to restore fellowship with a holy God. The varying sacrifices underscore the principle that greater responsibility incurs greater accountability.
