Leviticus 4:7
And the priest shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar of sweet incense before the LORD, which is in the tabernacle of the congregation; and shall pour all the blood of the bullock at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Leviticus 4:7 lays out the ritual for a sin offering made for a priest or for the whole congregation, in which some of the blood was put upon the horns of the golden altar of sweet incense in the holy place, and all the rest of the blood of the bullock was poured out at the bottom or base of the altar of burnt offering in the court at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. In that same ritual the fat was burned upon the court altar, while the body of the victim was burned outside the camp. The verse also shows how the blood of the individual sin offering was dealt with, being carried into the holy place and sprinkled before the veil.
That carrying and sprinkling pictured the transfer of the repentant sinner's confessed sin, borne through the blood, to the sanctuary itself. Sin offerings of this kind were required in addition to the tenth of a person's increase. The sin offering was one of the returns imperatively required in proportion to the capital entrusted, standing alongside the tithe and with thank offerings, trespass offerings, sacrificial offerings, and other dues.
The tithe alone was not the standard of giving, for property was sanctified by keeping God's claims paramount in almost every article. Besides the tithe there were the ransom for the firstborn, the firstfruits of flocks and harvest, the corners and gleanings left for the poor, the spontaneous produce of the seventh year for the needy, the remission of debts every seventh year, the expenses for hospitality and gifts to the poor, assessments upon property, and special freewill offerings such as those given for the wilderness tabernacle and for the Jerusalem temple. By these means conscientious givers returned about one-third of all their income for religious interests and for the poor. The lesson for today is that a Christian entrusted with ten or twenty thousand dollars must likewise present sin offerings and thank offerings to God, with the larger the capital entrusted requiring the more valuable gift returned.
