Observe, 1. The case supposed: If any one of the common people sin through ignorance, Lev. 4:27. The prophet supposes that they were not so likely as the great men to know the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 4:28

Or if his sin which he hath sinned come to his knowledge ,.... So that he is convinced that he has sinned: then he shall bring his offering ; to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to the priest there: a kid of the goats : a young goat: a female without blemish ; and so inferior to the offering of the ruler or prince; for the characters of men are aggravations of their sins, and sacrifices were to be in some measure answerable to them, and suitable to their... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 4:1-35

The sin offering signifies and ceremonially effects propitiation and expiation. Its characteristic feature, therefore, is the presentation of the blood of the victim, which in this sacrifice alone (when it was offered for the high priest or the whole congregation) was carried into the tabernacle and solemnly sprinkled before the vail which covered God's presence. I. WHEN IT WAS TO BE OFFERED . On certain solemn public occasions, and whenever the conscience of an individual... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 4:27-35

The sins of the common people. The idea of the distinction is that those who, by their distance from the sanctuary and their lack of education, are more exposed to the possibility of offense, are less guilty, and therefore require a somewhat lower sacrifice. A female kid or a lamb would suffice; but the same ceremonies were indispensable—the laying on of hands, the touching of the horns of the altar of burnt offering with blood, the pouring out of the blood at the bottom of the altar, the... read more
