# Sin Offering
The "sin offering" was one of several sacrifices that God required the Israelites to offer. For this offering, a priest would sacrifice a bull, burn its blood and fat on the altar, and burn the rest of the animal’s body outside of the Israelite camp (see: Exodus 29:12-14, 36; 30:10; Leviticus 4; Ezekiel 43:18-27). The sin offering atoned for people sinning.
The Bible teaches that blood must be shed for a sin someone committed in order for God to forgive the person who sinned. When a person gave a sin offering, blood was shed for the sin and God forgave the person who sinned. When the person sinned again, they gave a sin offering again. This is because animal sacrifices could not atone for sin forever. But when Jesus died for people sinning, he perfectly atoned for sin forever. Jesus was the perfect sin offering (see: Hebrews 10:1-18).
