Numbers 15:22 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 15:22

And if ye have erred
Gone astray from the law of God, and any of its precepts; every sin is an error, a missing of the mark, a wandering from the way of God's commandments. Jarchi, and the Jews in general, interpret this of idolatry, but it rather respects any deviation from the law, moral or ceremonial, especially the latter:

and not observed all these commandments which the Lord hath spoken
unto Moses;
in this chapter, more particularly concerning the meat offerings and drink offerings, and the quantity of them, to be brought along with their burnt offerings and peace offerings, and concerning the cake of the first dough to be heaved before the Lord and given to the priest.

Numbers 15:22 In-Context

20 Offer a loaf of bread from the first of your grain, which will be your offering from the threshing floor.

21 From now on offer to the Lord the first part of your grain.

22 "'Now what if you forget to obey any of these commands the Lord gave Moses?

23 These are the Lord's commands given to you through Moses, which began the day the Lord gave them to you and will continue from now on.

24 If the people forget to obey one of these commands, all the people must offer a young bull as a burnt offering, a smell pleasing to the Lord. By law you must also give the grain offering and the drink offering with it, and you must bring a male goat as a sin offering.
