Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Leviticus 4:17-18

Leviticus 4:17-18. And sprinkle it It was not to be poured out there, but sprinkled only; for the cleansing virtue of the blood of Christ was sufficiently represented by sprinkling. It was sprinkled seven times Because God made the world in six days, and rested the seventh. This signified the perfect satisfaction Christ made, and the complete cleansing of our souls thereby.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Leviticus 4:1-35

The sin offering: regulations (4:1-35)Burnt offerings, cereal offerings and peace offerings were not compulsory; people made them voluntarily to express their devotion. The sin offering, however, was compulsory whenever people realized they had committed some (accidental) sin that broke their fellowship with God. In the other offerings there was an element of atonement (for sin affects everything that people do), but in the sin offering, atonement was the central issue.The animal was killed in... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 4:1-35

The Sin Offering (4:1-5:13) and the Guilt Offering (5:14-6:7)These are later and specialised forms of the Burnt Offering. They presuppose a state of matters in which the good relationship between God and the offerer has been interrupted by sin, and the purpose of both is to make atonement for, or cover, the sin of the guilty person or persons. The difference between the two seems to be that while the sin offering is provided for those offences which could not be undone or repaired, the guilt... read more

William Nicoll

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Leviticus 4:1-35

THE SIN OFFERINGLeviticus 4:1-35BOTH in the burnt offering and in the peace offering, Israel was taught, as we are, that all consecration and all fellowship with God must begin with, and ever depends upon, atonement made for sin. But this was not the dominant thought in either of these offerings; neither did the atonement, as made in these, have reference to particular acts of sin. For such, these offerings were never prescribed. They remind us therefore of the necessity of atonement, not so... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Leviticus 4:4-35

THE RITUAL OF THE SIN OFFERINGLeviticus 4:4-35; Leviticus 5:1-13; Leviticus 6:24-30ACCORDING to the Authorised Version, {; Leviticus 5:6-7} it might seem that the section, Leviticus 5:1-13, referred not to the sin offering, but to the guilt offering, like the latter part of the chapter; but, as suggested in the margin of the Revised Version, in these verses we may properly read, instead of "guilt offering," "for his guilt." That the latter rendering is to be preferred is clear when we observe... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 4:1-35

THE SIN OFFERING FOR CASES OF IGNORANCE (vv. 1-2) The sin offering was for sins of ignorance, or inadvertence. These are things that we do not realize are sin and we easily fall into such things unintentionally. Why do we do this? Because we have a sinful nature inherited from Adam which leads even a believer into things he does not approve of. This gives him the struggle of Romans 7:1-25, as expressed in verse 19, “For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do,... read more
