Positive Mitzvah Sixty-Four The Chataat-offering
We are commanded that the Chataat (sin)-offering, whatever it might be, must be offered in the manner specified by Torah. The Chataat-offering, the Olah-offering, and the Asham (guilt)-offering were considered as the Most Holy Things, while the Shelamim (peace)-offering, the Todah (thanksgiving)-offering, and the Firstling, the Tithe of Cattle, and the Pesach-offering were regarded as the Lesser Holy Things. The former, in so far as they were consumed, had to be consumed within the Sanctuary Court, while the Lesser Holy Things might be eaten anywhere in Yerushalayim. |
