Leviticus, Chapter 4

Here the writer refers to the sin making a sacrifice to Yahweh, an offering of sorrow and seeking to repent and be forgiven by the Lord for some unintended offence. One of the rationales for making this sin offering seems to be that if the prince or priests inadvertently offending God did not make the sin offering, there would be some collective guilt assigned by the Divinity to the entire people, an unfortunate consequence.

My only reaction is that seeking forgiveness from God for our sins, known or unknown, is always a wise and healing gesture.

To maverize is a living, positive, cheerful offering of one's life in action to God, as a way of praising and recognizing God's presence, greatness and appreciation of our living offering to De.
