Numbers 15:16 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 15:16

for Israelites and proselytes; which is said to invite and encourage the latter, and may have a distant view to the calling of the Gentiles in Gospel times, when there should be no difference between Jews and Gentiles called by grace in matters of religion, but would be one in Christ, ( Galatians 3:28 ) .
