Prior Studies (from 00-references.md / PROMPT.md Prior Research Summary)
1. atonement-frameworks
- Established: asham framework addresses debt and liability — concrete damage sin inflicts
- Key finding: asham uniquely requires mandatory restitution of principal + 1/5 BEFORE sacrifice (Lev 5:16; 6:5)
- Isaiah 53:10 deliberately chose asham (H817), not chattat
- NT "invisibility" of asham: concept fragmented in LXX translation
2. jesus-guilt-vs-sin-offering
- H817 uniquely fuses guilt-state and offering in a single word
- Asham's restitution-plus-one-fifth gives Christ's death a restorative dimension beyond penalty-payment
- The word holds tension between real guilt-bearing AND preserved innocence
3. atone-01
- Established chattat's two-path system (priest/congregation = Holy Place blood; ruler/commoner = courtyard blood)
- Congregational/individual distinction maps to depth of sanctuary contamination
- Question posed: do asham categories (holy things vs. neighbor) map to same distinction?
4. sanc-05-sacrifice-types
- Asham has NO graduated system by offender status (always a ram)
- Blood procedure differs: zaraq round about the altar (like olah/shelamim), NOT nathan on horns (chattat method)
5. cmd-09-eighth-commandment-stealing
- Lev 6:2 classifies fraud against neighbor as "trespass against the LORD"
- Both dimensions present in a single offense
- Num 5:8 specifies fallback to the LORD when no kinsman exists
6. sanc-17-atonement-vocabulary
- kaphar (Piel) and salach (Niphal) both operate in chattat and asham contexts
- Forgiveness is a shared result of both offering types
