, Leviticus ix. on the one hand, and Leviticus iv.
on the other; and what is still more serious, the trespass-offering
never occurs in the primary but only in the secondary passages,
Leviticus iv.-vii., xiv.; Numbers v.7, 8, vi. 1, xviii. 9. In the
latter, moreover, the distinction between _asham_ and _hattath_ is not
very clear, but only the intention to make it, perhaps because in
the old praxis there actually was a distinction between KSP XT)WT
and KSP )#M, and in Ezekiel between X+)T and )#M. /2/

2. The three sections, Leviticus iv. 1-35 (hattath), v.1-13
(hattath-asham), and v. 14-26 (asham), are essentially not
co-ordinate parts of one whole, but independent pieces proceeding
from the same school. For v. 1-13 is no continuation of or appendix
to iv. 27-35, but a quite independent treatment of the same material,
with important differences of form. The place of the systematic
generality of chap. iv. is here taken by the definite individual case,
and what is analogous to it; the ritual is given with less minuteness,
and the hierarchical subordination of ranks has no influence on
the classification of offences.
