We use the method of QCD sum rules to investigate both the [Delta]-[ital N] and [Sigma][sup 0-][Lambda] mass splittings. In the case of the [Delta]-[ital N] mass splitting, our numerical results indicate that the mass splitting is dominated primarily by the quark-gluon condensate [l angle]0[vert bar][ital g][sub [ital c][bar q]][sigma][sub [mu][nu]]([lambda][sup [ital a]]/2)[ital G][sub [ital a]][sup [mu][nu]][ital q][vert bar]0[r angle] and the observed mass splitting may be understood. In the case of [Sigma][sup 0-][Lambda] mass splitting, we obtain a value of about 66 MeV, which is slightly smaller than the observed value of 77 MeV.
