The first Mishna opens with the kohen gadol, teaching that he will bring his sin-offering only if both the decision and the forbidden action were made in error. The Mishna teaches specifically that if either were done purposefully – if the decision to permit a forbidden action were done intentionally, but the act was done accidentally or if the decision was made by accident, but the act was done on purpose – then the sacrifice would not be brought.

In the Bible, sacrificial offerings are meticulously detailed, revealing a structured hierarchy among animals used in these rites.

This hierarchy is not merely practical but imbued with symbolic significance, reflecting broader cultural values, economic considerations, and theological emphases.
