Shevi’i

  • If he is very poor-The Mincha offering: If one cannot afford even birds, then he is to bring a tenth of an Ephah of fine flour as a Chatas offering. It is not to contain oil or frankincense, as it is a sin offering. It is to be brought to the Kohen and he removes three fingerfuls from it and offers it to G-d. The Kohen atones for his sin, and it will be forgiven. The Kohen receives the Mincha offering [for himself to eat].

 

  1. The Karban Asham Vadaiy for Meila-Benefiting from Hekdish:
    • Hashem spoke to Moshe saying: An individual who has accidentally committed misuse of Hekdish is to bring his Asham to Hashem. He is to bring an unblemished ram with a value of the silver Shekalim. He is to compensate that which he deprived from Hekdish, as well as an additional fifth. The ram is to be given to the Kohen and he will atone for him.

 

  1. The Karban Asham Taluiy:
    • Anyone who possibly transgressed a sin and does not know for certain, is to bring an unblemished ram the value of a guilt offering as an Asham to the Kohen. The Kohen is to atone for his sin, and he will be forgiven.

 

  1. The Karban Asham Vadaiy for swearing falsely:
    • If an individual swears falsely to deny that he possesses the item of another which he truly has in his possession, he must a) return the item, adding an additional fifth to its value and b) bring a Karban Asham.
    • The Karban is to be an unblemished ram. The Kohen is to atone for him, and he will be forgiven.
