Sin offering is a term used in religious contexts to describe the act of atoning for sins or wrongdoing. Synonyms for sin offering can include sacrifice, expiation, penance, propitiation, and soteriology. Each of these terms highlights a slightly different aspect of atonement, from the idea of giving something up as a sacrifice, to seeking forgiveness or appeasing a deity or divine force. Whether through prayer, ritual, or other means, the concept of sin offering reflects a universal human concern with redemption and atonement for mistakes and wrongdoings, and remains an important concept in many religious traditions around the world.
