I'm reading Leviticus Chapters 5-7 - What is the difference between a sin, committing a trespass, and then a sin offering, trespass offering and a peace offering?

I guess it depends on the context.

In chapter 5, a sin is breaking a command and knowing it, A trespass is breaking a command and not understanding what he did (He did not know it was a sin)

In other areas, I think they can mean the same thing, If I break a command of God, whether I know it or I do it in ignorance. It is nto only a sin (I have missed the mark) but is a trespass against God.

In all cases. the sin offering are to make atonement fore the sin committed, whether in ignorance or on purpose.

I once looked up all the many different 'offerings' written about in the bible but still don't understand them.

Thank you that makes a lot of sense!
