Hello Jon and welcome to the forum.

Thanks for your question.
The answer isn't a simple one as there are several types of sin and many different offerings. Here is just a small example -
If the priest sins, he's supposed to bring a bull. (Lev 4:3)
If the community sins collectively, they are to bring a bull. (Lev 4:14)
If a leader of the people sins, he is to bring a male goat. (Lev 4:23)
If a member of the community sins, he is to bring a female goat. (Lev 4:28)
If they don't have a goat and can bring a lamb, it must be a female. (Lev 4:32
Plus, the offering was only part of the process.
The paschal lamb had nothing to do with sin, it was a way of defying the Egyptians by showing them we are going to kill one of their pagan gods. Similar to how the other plagues showed their other pagans gods were useless.
Never heard of anointing the lamb/goat, but the Hebrew bible is very specific on ALL of the things that had to take place.
Yes, everything had to take place, not just one or two of the actions listed.

Exodus 12 -
3- Speak to the entire community of Israel, saying, "On the tenth of this month, let each one take a lamb for each parental home, a lamb for each household.
4 - But if the household is too small for a lamb, then he and his neighbor who is nearest to his house shall take [one] according to the number of people, each one according to one's ability to eat, shall you be counted for the lamb.
5- You shall have a perfect male lamb in its [first] year; you may take it either from the sheep or from the goats.
6 - And you shall keep it for inspection until the fourteenth day of this month, and the entire congregation of the community of Israel shall slaughter it in the afternoon
7 - And they shall take [some] of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel, on the houses in which they will eat it.
8 - And on this night, they shall eat the flesh, roasted over the fire, and unleavened cakes; with bitter herbs they shall eat it
9 - You shall not eat it rare or boiled in water, except roasted over the fire its head with its legs and with its innards.
10 - And you shall not leave over any of it until morning, and whatever is left over of it until morning, you shall burn in fire
11 - And this is how you shall eat it: your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste it is a Passover sacrifice to the Lord.
So, as you can clearly see, this type of sacrifice was very different than any type of sin offering.
Each offering is unique and specific, whether it is for different types of sins, forgiveness, thanksgiving or anything else.
The instructions needed to be followed.
So what is the basis of your question?
