Numbers 15:26

And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of Israel ,.... Which is repeated for the certainty of it, and for the sake of what follows:

and the stranger that sojourneth among them ; the proselyte of righteousness; so the blessing of pardon, through the propitiatory sacrifice of Christ, comes upon believing Gentiles as well as Jews, Romans 4:9 ,

seeing all the people were in ignorance ; both the congregation of Israel and the stranger; See Gill on Numbers 15:25 .
