Leviticus 4:14 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 4:14

When the sin which they have sinned against it
Any of the commandments of the Lord forbidding such a thing to be done:

is known;
is made known to them by the priest, or any other, so that they are convinced that what has been done is wrong, though done through ignorance:

then the congregation shall offer a young bullock for the sin, and
bring him before the tabernacle of the congregation;
the same offering with that of the anointed priest, he being, as Aben Ezra on the place observes, equal to all Israel.

Leviticus 4:14 In-Context

12 all the rest of the bull—he shall carry out to a clean place outside the camp, to the ash heap, and shall burn it on a wood fire; at the ash heap it shall be burned.
13 If the whole congregation of Israel errs unintentionally and the matter escapes the notice of the assembly, and they do any one of the things that by the Lord's commandments ought not to be done and incur guilt;
14 when the sin that they have committed becomes known, the assembly shall offer a bull of the herd for a sin offering and bring it before the tent of meeting.
15 The elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the bull before the Lord, and the bull shall be slaughtered before the Lord.
16 The anointed priest shall bring some of the blood of the bull into the tent of meeting,
