The next sort of Sacrifice was the [Greek or Hebrew], Chataath or Sin-offering, whose Laws and § 36 Rites are described, Levit. 4. This Sacrifice is not expressly called a Corban, or a Gift, it being wholly a Debt, to be paid for Expiation and Atonement; but being brought nigh unto God, it partook in general of the nature of the [Greek or Hebrew], Corbanim. It was of the [Greek or Hebrew], Fireings, or Fire-offerings, expressly, v. 12. because of the burning of the Fat on the Altar; and of the [Greek or Hebrew], or slain Sacrifices. And also it was of the [Greek or Hebrew], or most holy things from its Institution and Signification. The name of it is [Greek or Hebrew], Chataath, that is, sin.

That which was torn, saith Jacob to Laban, I brought it not to thee, [Greek or Hebrew], achatennah, I answered for it; I paid for it, I went by the loss of it. See Exod. 29.36. Numb. 19.19. Levit. 6.26. According to this signification of [Greek or Hebrew] is used to denote an Offering for sin; that whereby sin is expiated, pardon of it is procured, Atonement is made: So prays David, Psal. 51. [Greek or Hebrew], thou shalt purge me, with Hyssop, as
