Numbers 15:28 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 15:28

And the priest shall make atonement for the soul that sinneth
ignorantly
By offering his sin offering for him:

when he sinneth by ignorance before the Lord;
to whom it is known to be such, before whom all things are naked, open, and well known:

to make an atonement for him, and it shall be forgiven him;
upon that atonement made by sacrifice; so the forgiveness of the sins of all the Lord's people proceeds upon an atonement made by the blood and sacrifice of Christ: full atonement of sin and free forgiveness are not contrary to each other.

27 "'If just one person sins without meaning to, a year-old female goat must be brought for a sin offering.

28 The priest will remove the sin of the person who sinned accidentally. He will remove it before the Lord, and the person will be forgiven.

29 The same teaching is for everyone who sins accidentally -- for those born Israelites and for foreigners living among you.

30 "'But anyone who sins on purpose is against the Lord and must be cut off from the people, whether it is someone born among you or a foreigner.
