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 Then the priest must carry the bull outside the camp and burn it, just as he did with the first bull. This is the sin offering for the whole community.

22 "'If a ruler sins by accident and does something the Lord his God has commanded must not be done, he is guilty.

23 When he learns about his sin, he must bring a male goat that has nothing wrong with it as his offering.

24 The ruler must put his hand on the goat's head and kill it in the place where they kill the whole burnt offering before the Lord; it is a sin offering.

25 The priest must take some of the blood of the sin offering on his finger and put it on the corners of the altar of burnt offering. He must pour out the rest of the blood at the bottom of the altar of burnt offering.
