“And he shall confess” — confession with the offering.

In the sugya: Yoma pairs the confession of this verse with the sacrificial process itself. Vidui is not a free-standing verbal act; it is spoken in connection with the korban that effects the atonement.

Type of Learning

Diyuk pairing vidui with the korban process — confession is integral to the offering’s atonement sequence.

What Is Learned

Confession is part of the atonement process of this section, spoken over the offering. The words and the blood-service form a single unit of kaparah. Separating vidui from the korban would leave the verbal acknowledgment without its sacrificial counterpart and the offering without its verbal acknowledgment of the specific sin.
