Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Leviticus 5:4

Leviticus 5:4. If a soul swear Rashly and unadvisedly, without consideration, either of God’s law or of his own power or right, as David did, 1 Samuel 25:22: so the following word, לבשׂא , lebattee, rendered pronouncing, properly signifies, Psalms 106:33. The meaning is, Whosoever shall, in a passion or otherwise, make an oath to do a person an injury, or to do him a kindness, and afterward, forgetting his oath, shall fail in the performance, so soon as he recollects himself he shall... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Leviticus 5:1-13

The sin offering: its uses (5:1-13)Sin offerings could be offered only for those sins that people committed unintentionally, such as through carelessness, haste, accident or weakness. When people realized they were guilty of such sins, they had to make confession and bring a sin offering (5:1-6; cf. 4:13,22,27). No sacrifice was available for deliberate or premeditated sins (Numbers 15:30). The sin offering therefore showed up the weakness of the sacrificial system. It provided only for those... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Leviticus 5:4

Leviticus 5:4. Or if a soul shall swear, pronouncing with his lips to do evil, &c.— This seems to refer to the case of rash or hasty vows or oaths; as the word which we render pronouncing, signifies to speak rashly, foolishly, or unadvisedly. If a man forgot such rash oaths or vows, yet at length recollected them, he was to bear the guilt of them, and to acknowledge it by a trespass-offering. Then he shall be guilty in one of these, at the end of the verse, signifies, according to... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 5:4

4. if a soul swear—a rash oath, without duly considering the nature and consequences of the oath, perhaps inconsiderately binding himself to do anything wrong, or neglecting to perform a vow to do something good. In all such cases a person might have transgressed one of the divine commandments unwittingly, and have been afterwards brought to a sense of his delinquency. read more

4. The sin offering 4:1-5:13The sin offering was a very important offering since it was to be offered before any of the others. It also played a key role on the Day of Atonement.

Moses previously mentioned burnt offerings in Genesis 12:7; Genesis 13:4; Genesis 13:18; Genesis 22; Genesis 26:25; Genesis 33:20; and Genesis 35:1-7, and peace offerings in Genesis 31:54; Genesis 46:1.

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
