The word for “sin” (2403b) has an interesting potential for translation. It can be translated this way but there is a word added throughout the Old Testament that gives it a different slant. That word is “offering”. Thus the promise to the unrepentant sinner is that they will become a sin offering.
When you put this together with
(Rom 6:23 KJV) For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.and
(Heb 9:22 KJV) And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.it becomes clear that the sinner will pay for his sin with his own blood.
So? We can rejoice in the knowledge that the shed blood of Jesus on the cross moved us from the sin offering category to the paid in full column. A good thought to start the day and apply by our obedience.
