Leviticus 4:22-35
Member of the community sins unintentionally and does what is forbidden in any of the Lord's commands, he is guilt. When he is make aware of the sin he committed, he must bring as his offering for the sin he committed a female goat without defect.
He may bring a lamb as his sin offering.
Generally speaking the sin-offering referred to offences against God, and the guilt-offering to social offences. (But even sin against others is seen as sin against God)
Why?
An aroma pleasing to the Lord: This is a human way of expressing God's satisfaction with the offering. The people knew God did not need to be fed by them - he was feeding them with manna.
How?
Sin must be erased for consequence of sin is dead and separated from the Lord.
