Lexical notes

Verse 59

  • This verse gives us some explication of the nature of a sin, apparently in contrast to a transgression.

Verse 60

  • There is an apparent connection between this verse and the story of the fall of Adam. Both involve a transgression that results in a need to sacrifice. Also in both cases, the exact nature of the transgression is unspecified.
