28 et deprecabitur pro ea sacerdos quod inscia peccaverit coram Domino inpetrabitque ei veniam et dimittetur illi

Numbers 15:28 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 15:28

And the priest shall make atonement for the soul that sinneth
ignorantly
By offering his sin offering for him:

when he sinneth by ignorance before the Lord;
to whom it is known to be such, before whom all things are naked, open, and well known:

to make an atonement for him, and it shall be forgiven him;
upon that atonement made by sacrifice; so the forgiveness of the sins of all the Lord's people proceeds upon an atonement made by the blood and sacrifice of Christ: full atonement of sin and free forgiveness are not contrary to each other.

Numbers 15:28 In-Context

26 et dimittetur universae plebi filiorum Israhel et advenis qui peregrinantur inter vos quoniam culpa est omnis populi per ignorantiam
27 quod si anima una nesciens peccaverit offeret capram anniculam pro peccato suo
28 et deprecabitur pro ea sacerdos quod inscia peccaverit coram Domino inpetrabitque ei veniam et dimittetur illi
29 tam indigenis quam advenis una lex erit omnium qui peccaverint ignorantes
30 anima vero quae per superbiam aliquid commiserit sive civis sit ille sive peregrinus quoniam adversum Dominum rebellis fuit peribit de populo suo
