Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, sin was understood as a breach of the covenant relationship with God. The Israelites were given the Law through Moses, which outlined the standards of holiness and righteousness expected by God. Sin, therefore, was not just a personal failing but a communal issue that affected the entire community's relationship with God. Sacrifices and offerings were instituted as a means of atonement and restoration of fellowship with God.
