Leviticus 4:27 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 4:27

And if anyone of the common people sin through ignorance,
&c.] Or, "if one soul of the people of the earth": that is, a single person, and so is distinguished from the congregation, one of the common sort of people; however is neither an high priest, nor a prince, or king, but either a common priest, or Levite, or Israelite; no man is free from sin; all sorts of persons, of all ranks and degrees, high and low, rich and poor, men in office, civil or ecclesiastical, or in whatsoever state of life, are liable to sin, and do sin continually, either ignorantly or willingly; and Christ is a sacrifice for all sins and for all sorts of sinners:

whilst he doeth somewhat; &c. (See Gill on Leviticus 4:2) (See Gill on Leviticus 4:13) (See Gill on Leviticus 4:22).
