Kerisos 6:6-7

Krisos 6:6

Let’s say that a person put two sela aside to purchase a guilt offering, which he then used to purchase two rams for a guilt offering. If one of these rams is worth two sela, it should be brought as his guilt offering and the other should be left to graze until it develops a blemish, at which point it is sold and the proceeds used to buy freewill offerings. If he used the two sela to buy two rams for regular use (as opposed to use as an offering), one worth two sela and one worth ten zuz (the value of an extra fifth on two sela), then the one worth two sela should be brought as a guilt offering for his misappropriation and the other should be used to pay for his misappropriation. If he used the two sela to buy one ram for an offering and one for regular use, if the one he bought for an offering is worth two sela, it should be brought as his guilt offering and the other used as the guilt offering for his misappropriation, bringing with it one sela plus the extra fifth.

Krisos 6:7

If a person put aside an animal for a sin offering and he subsequently died, his son doesn’t bring it as his father’s offering. One may not use an animal put aside as an offering for a different sin – not even if he ate forbidden fats yesterday and again today. This is because Leviticus 4:28 teaches, “his offering…for his sin.” A sacrifice is designated for a person’s particular sin.
