Leviticus 4:28 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 4:28

Or if his sin which he hath sinned come to his knowledge,
&c.] So that he is convinced that he has sinned:

then he shall bring his offering;
to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to the priest there:

a kid of the goats:
a young goat:

a female without blemish;
and so inferior to the offering of the ruler or prince; for the characters of men are aggravations of their sins, and sacrifices were to be in some measure answerable to them, and suitable to their circumstances:

for the sin which he hath sinned;
to atone for it in a typical way.

Leviticus 4:28 In-Context

26 Then he shall burn all of its fat on the altar, just as he burns the fat of the animals killed for the fellowship offerings. In this way the priest shall offer the sacrifice for the sin of the ruler, and he will be forgiven.

27 If any of you people sin and become guilty of breaking one of the Lord's commands without intending to,

28 then as soon as the sin is called to your attention, you shall bring as your offering a female goat without any defects.

29 You shall put your hand on its head and kill it on the north side of the altar, where the animals for the burnt offerings are killed.

30 The priest shall dip his finger in the blood of the animal, put it on the projections at the corners of the altar, and pour out the rest of it at the base of the altar.
