Leviticus 4:23

23 et postea intellexerit peccatum suum offeret hostiam Domino hircum de capris inmaculatum

Leviticus 4:23 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 4:23

Or if his sin wherein he hath sinned come to his
knowledge
Or rather, "and if his sin", &c. F13 either by means of others informing him of it, or of himself calling to mind what he has done, and considering it to be a transgression of the law:

he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a male without
blemish;
his offering was to be a "kid of the goats", a fat and a large one; because, as Baal Hatturim observes, he ate fat things every day; and to distinguish it from the offering of one of the common people; and "without blemish"; as all sacrifices were, that they might be typical of the offering of Christ without spot.

Leviticus 4:23 In-Context

21 ipsum autem vitulum efferet extra castra atque conburet sicut et priorem vitulum quia pro peccato est multitudinis
22 si peccaverit princeps et fecerit unum e pluribus per ignorantiam quod Domini lege prohibetur
23 et postea intellexerit peccatum suum offeret hostiam Domino hircum de capris inmaculatum
24 ponetque manum suam super caput eius cumque immolaverit eum in loco ubi solet mactari holocaustum coram Domino quia pro peccato est
25 tinguet sacerdos digitum in sanguine hostiae pro peccato tangens cornua altaris holocausti et reliquum fundens ad basim eius
