レビ記 4:16-17 JCB

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Leviticus 4:1-35

THE SIN AND TRESPASS OFFERINGS THE SIN OFFERING The data for the sin offering is found in Leviticus 4:1-35 ; Leviticus 5:1-13 and Leviticus 6:24-30 . As to the name of this offering, it will be seen that “sin” is mentioned here for the first time in connection with the law of the offerings. The idea of sin is included in the others, but it was not the predominating idea as it is here. There was atonement for sin in the other offerings, but rather for sin in man’s nature than the actual... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Leviticus 4:1-35

Sins of Ignorance Leviticus 4:0 The expression, "If a soul shall sin through ignorance," opens a very wide region of thought. One would wonder whether it is possible that sin can be committed in ignorance that is to say, whether the ignorance does not do away with the sinful character of the deed. Is not sin a wilful action? Is not its wilfulness the very essence of its guilt? So we would think; yet again and again in the ritual we find that ignorance is never made into a sufficient excuse for... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Leviticus 4:16-21

All these are similar actions to what were enjoined concerning the sin of the high priest. Yes, there is but one, and the same salvation, both for the priest and the people. Acts 4:12 . read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 4:13-21

13-21 If the leaders of the people, through mistake, caused them to err, an offering must be brought, that wrath might not come upon the whole congregation. When sacrifices were offered, the persons, on whose behalf they were devoted, were to lay their hands on the heads of the victims, and to confess their sins. The elders were to do so, when the sacrifices were offered for the whole congregation. The load of sin was supposed then to be borne by the guiltless animal. When the offering is... read more

For the Whole Congregation v. 13. And if the whole congregation of Israel sin through ignorance, that is, through inadvertence due either to unconsciousness of the act's sinfulness or to lack of information on certain points of the Law, and the thing be hid from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done somewhat (something) against any of the commandments of the Lord concerning things which should not be done, and are guilty, although, for the time being, still in ignorance of that fact; ... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Leviticus 4:1-21

Sin-Offerings for Priests and Congregation Leviticus 4:1-21 The sweet savor offerings have now been considered. They are all concerned with consecration and communion. We now approach the sacrifices for sin; and first, for sins of ignorance. Here provision is made for the anointed priest, for the whole assembly, for the ruler and for one of the common people. Do we realize sufficiently the sinfulness of our sins of omission- i.e ., of coming short of God’s glory? See how much they cost! The... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 4:1-35

We come now to the consideration of the sin offering. In the light of the divine holiness sin is seen, whether it be willful or not, and provisions must be made for its expiation. In the instructions, arrangements were made for the priest, the congregation as a whole, a ruler, and one of the common people. In each case a bullock was to be taken and a sevenfold ceremony followed It was surely impossible for any Hebrew to make the offering for sin without being brought into an overwhelming sense... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 4:13-21

The Purification For Sin Offering For The Whole Congregation (Leviticus 4:13-21 ). This second type of purification for sin offering is to occur when the whole congregation, the congregation as a nation, and thus the whole nation, has sinned. The ‘congregation’ was the gathering of Israel. This ‘gathering’ would take place especially at the regular feasts, but would also occur whenever they were called together. At these gatherings decisions would be made both about the past and the future.... read more
