94 Omitting and Committing (Lev 4)

I mowed the lawn this afternoon.
Yay.
I often tell myself that I'll come home from work and mow the lawn.
Never seems to happen.
But today it did.
Yay x2.
Part of our yard is on a bit of a slope.
Not completely inconvenient, but can be harder than I require at times, particularly if the grass is a bit longer.
Today was okay.
Ish.
But I was a bit weary after a long day and was finding coming back up the hill tiresome.
Going down was easy enough, so I devised a cunning plan.
Instead of pushing the mower back up the hill, I just kept it pointing downhill and eased it backwards.
It had to be easier as it was still facing the best of the two directions.
My ingenious astounds me sometimes.
Still...
I didn't quite experience the lightening of the load as much as I expected.
Probably the wind had picked up by that stage.
Maybe......
;)

Leviticus 4
Oooo if a priest sins it brings guilt onto ALL the people.
Talk about weight of responsibility.

I can't recall a previous chapter that also deals with unintentionally sinning.
But the Israelites have God's commandments now.
There is detail.
There is reason.
Things that shouldn't be done were.
Things that should be done weren't.
And there was a need to make things right before God.
The shedding of blood and a burnt offering.
It is also interesting to discover that God viewed the sin differently, depending on who committed/omitted it.
The priests, the nation, leaders, the common man all were separately mentioned.
The consequences differed as well.
If you had authority and sinned it was of higher significance because you had authority.

It does confuse me reading the details for each sacrifice.
They seem so similar, yet there are differences.
I just need to read and re-read and re-read to sort it.
Short version.
You sin.
You sacrifice.
All good.
You sin.
You sacrifice.
All good.
Repetitive.
But good.
Until you sinned again.....
