A Sacrifice for Every Sin

Commentators note that the tables were designated for three types of offerings: burnt, sin, and trespass. As John Gill explains, this variety signifies the comprehensive nature of Christ's sacrifice. His death atones for all categories of sin, whether committed in ignorance (sin offering) or willfully (trespass offering), assuring believers that no transgression is beyond the reach of His grace.
