What Distinguishes the Chatat and Asham?
Exegetical Approaches
Function of the Offering
While the Chatat is first and foremost a purification offering, meant to purify both the sinner and the Mikdash, the Asham is a reparation offering.
Severity of Sin for which the Offering is Brought
While both the Chatat and Asham serve an atoning role, they do so for different types of sins.
Asham More Severe
The more severe offenses necessitate an Asham offering rather than a Chatat.
Asham Less Severe
Less severe sins are expiated with an Asham rather than a Chatat.
