Study Guide Horayot 8 The derivations are brought for the following laws – the types of sins one brings the sin offerings discussed are for sins that if one were to trangress them on purpose, they would be punished by karet; the verses in Bamidbar that discuss sin offerings relate to the sin of idol worship exclusively; the bull sin offering of the community is only for sins that if one did it individually they would need to bring a regular sin offering but not a sliding scale sin offering.
