Sin Money
/SIN MUN-ee/
Summary
Money received from sin offerings and trespass offerings, which belonged to the priests rather than being used for Temple repairs.
☩Priestly Allocation
During the Temple repairs under King Joash, it was determined that the 'sin money' and 'trespass money' would not be brought into the house of the Lord for the repair work but would instead go to the priests as their rightful portion. This money came from the guilt offerings and sin offerings prescribed by the Mosaic law.
