The "Adjustable" Sin Offering

"And if a person sins... he shall bring his guilt offering... but if he cannot afford..."—Leviticus 5:1.

The following individuals have to bring an "Adjustable" Sin Offering (Korban Oleh V'yored) for their transgressions:

  • One who contracted a cardinal ritual impurity and inadvertently entered the Holy Temple.
  • One who contracted a cardinal ritual impurity and inadvertently consumed sacrificial flesh.
  • One who swore to do, or not to do, a certain act, and inadvertently violated his vow.
