Abstract
This article investigates the criteria for the disposal of the sin offering in the book of Leviticus,
the function of the different ways of disposal and the meaning of the disposal with regard to
Leviticus 10:17. It is indicated that this sacrifice is intended to eliminate the offerer’s sin and
the sanctuary’s impurity. The eaten hattat offering retains minor contamination by human sin
or impurity, whilst the burnt hattat offering is contaminated by more severe and major sins
and impurities, in appropriation with either the offerer’s socio-religious status or the gravity
of the sin.
