John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 4:11

And the skin of the bullock ,.... Not taken off; for the sin offerings that were burnt were not flayed at all, but were cut in pieces with their skins on them F1 Ib. (Maasch Hakoranot) c. 5. sect. 18. & 7. 2. ; in other burnt offerings the skin was taken off, and was a perquisite of the priest, Leviticus 7:8 but this being an offering for the priest, the skin was burnt with the rest: and all his flesh, with his head, and with his legs, and his inwards, and his dung ; the... read more

And if the whole congregation of Israel sin through ignorance ,.... That is, all Israel, or the greatest part of them, as Gersom interprets it, through the ignorant teaching of the judges, who by their instruction cause the people to err, and commit sins of ignorance, as Baal Hatturim on the place observes, and Maimonides elsewhere F7 Hilchot Shegagot, c. 12. sect. 1. ; wherefore Jarchi, and some others, by the congregation of Israel understand the sanhedrim, or the bench of judges,... read more

When the sin which they have sinned against it ,.... Any of the commandments of the Lord forbidding such a thing to be done: is known ; is made known to them by the priest, or any other, so that they are convinced that what has been done is wrong, though done through ignorance: then the congregation shall offer a young bullock for the sin, and bring him before the tabernacle of the congregation ; the same offering with that of the anointed priest, he being, as Aben Ezra on the place... read more

And the priest that is anointed shall bring of the bullock's blood ,....

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 4:2

If a soul shall sin through ignorance - That is, if any man shall do what God has forbidden, or leave undone what God has commanded, through ignorance of the law relative to these points; as soon as the transgression or omission comes to his knowledge, he shall offer the sacrifice here prescribed, and shall not suppose that his ignorance is an excuse for his sin. He who, when his iniquity comes to his knowledge, refuses to offer such a sacrifice, sins obstinately and wilfully, and to him... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 4:3

If the priest that is anointed - Meaning, most probably, the high priest. According to the sin of the people; for although he had greater advantages than the people could have, in being more conversant with the law of God, and his lips should understand and preserve knowledge, yet it was possible even for him, in that time in which the word of God had not been fully revealed, to transgress through ignorance; and his transgression might have the very worst tendency, because the people might... read more
