The next sort of Fire-offerings, was the [Greek or Hebrew], Asham, whose Laws and Ordinances are directed, Levit. 5. and the particular occasion of it, Chap. 7. We call it, the Trespass-offering. And it differed very little from that next before described. For it is not only said concerning them; [Greek or Hebrew]; as is the Chataath, or Sin-offering, so is the Asham, or Trespass-offering, there is one Law for them, Chap. 7. v. 7. but also that he who had sinned or trespassed, should bring his [Greek or Hebrew], his Trespass-offering unto the Lord, for his sin which he had sinned, a female from the flock, or a kid of the Goats, [Greek or Hebrew], for a Sin-offering. Some think that there was a difference between them, and that it lay in this, that the Chataath respected sins of Omission, and the Asham, sins of Commission. But that this will not hold, is openly evident in the Text. Some think that whereas in both these Offerings there was respect unto ignorance, that that in the Chataath, was Juris, of the right or Law, that in the Asham was Facti, of the particular fact. But this opinion also may be easily disproved from the Context. This to me seems to be the Principal, if not the only difference between them; that the Asham provided a Sacrifice in some particular instances, which seem not to be comprised under the general Rules of the Sin-offering. And hence in a peculiar manner it is said of Jesus Christ, that he should give [Greek or Hebrew], his Soul, an Asham, or piacular Sacrifice, as for all, so for such delinquencies and sins, as seem to bring a destroying guilt on the soul, Isa. 53.10. And this kind of offering also was [Greek or Hebrew], Most Holy, Levit. 6.20. § 44
