Levítico 4:22 NVIPT

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Leviticus 4:22-26

Observe here, 1. That God takes notice of and is displeased with the sins of rulers. Those who have power to call others to account are themselves accountable to the ruler of rulers; for, as high as they are, there is a higher than they. This is intimated in that the commandment transgressed is here said to be the commandment of the Lord his God, Lev. 4:22. He is a prince to others, but let him know the Lord is a God to him. 2. The sin of the ruler which he committed through ignorance is... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 4:22

When a ruler hath sinned ,.... Or "prince", the "nasi", one that is lifted up above others in honour, power, and authority, or that bears the weight of government: the word comes from one which signifies to lift up, or to bear; it may be understood of a governor of a family, or of a tribe, as Aben Ezra observes; and so in the Talmud F11 T. Bab. Horayot, fol. 11. 1. it is said, it means the prince of a tribe, such as Nachson the son of Amminadab, prince of the tribe of Judah. Maimonides... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 4:22

When a ruler hath sinned - Under the term נשיא nasi , it is probable that any person is meant who held any kind of political dignity among the people, though the rabbins generally understand it of the king. A kid of the goats was the sacrifice in this case, the rites nearly the same as in the preceding cases, only the fat was burnt as that of the peace-offering. See Leviticus 4:26 ; and Leviticus 3:5 . read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 4:22

Verse 22 22.When a ruler hath sinned. A peculiar atonement is also appointed for the transgression of the rulers; and, although he speaks of the ruler in the singular number, yet inasmuch as the law was not yet enacted that one individual should bear rule, he undoubtedly designates the heads and governors generally, because they who bear rule do more injury by their bad example than private persons. If, then, any of the judges or governors had sinned through error, he might indeed be set free... 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

Atonement for the penitent, as illustrated in the sin offering. Le Leviticus 5:1-13 ; cf. Psalms 19:12 ; Galatians 6:1 ; 1 Timothy 1:13 , etc. The offerings already considered, viz. the burnt offering, the meat offering, and the peace offering, have respectively emphasized the ideas of personal consecration, consecrated life-work, and fellowship. Moreover, they are to be regarded as voluntary offerings, depending upon the impulse of the heart for their celebration. Special... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 4:3-27

Gradations in guilt. In Israel, as we have seen, sin was divided into the pardonable and the unpardonable—into "sins through ignorance" and sins of presumption. But this was not the only distinction. Of those which might be forgiven there were some more serious than others, demanding variety in expiation. Special regulations were given as to the sin of the "priest that is anointed" ( Leviticus 4:3 ), the "whole congregation of Israel" ( Leviticus 4:13 ), the ruler ( Leviticus 4:22 ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 4:3-27

Access for all: comparison and contrast. In the statutes of the Law given in this chapter we are reminded, by comparison and by contrast, of two of the main features of the gospel of Christ. We are reminded by comparison of— I. THE ACCESS THAT WAS PERMITTED TO EVERY ISRAELITE , AND IS NOW GRANTED TO US . No single individual in the whole congregation of Israel could feel that he was forbidden to go with his offering "before the Lord," to seek forgiveness... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 4:22-26

The case of a ruler or nobleman. The clause, Or if his sin … come to his knowledge , should be rather translated, If perhaps his sin come to his knowledge. He is to offer a kid of the goats , or rather a he-goat. The blood is not to be carried into the tabernacle, as in the two previous cases, but put upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering , which stood outside in the court, and, as a consequence of the blood not having been taken into the tabernacle, the flesh is not to be... read more
