What Did the Burnt Offerings Really Mean? – Leviticus E3

BibleProject

NOTE

The Distinction Between Sin Offering and Purification

The Hebrew word 'hatat' is commonly translated as 'sin offering' in English, but its root letters are the same as the word 'sin'. However, the word 'hatat' is formed from the same root letters as the verb 'hate', which means to purify, and not from the word 'sin'. This distinction is important, as 'hate' means to purify, as seen in Leviticus when the blood of the 'hatat' animal is used to purify the altar and make it holy. Additionally, individuals who have touched a dead body offer a 'hatat' to transition from impurity to purity, as they are 'hated' and purified from contact with death.
