Leviticus 4:32 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 4:32

And if he bring a lamb for a sin offering
As he might if he would; the Jews observe, that in all places a lamb is put before a goat, as being more excellent in its kind; but here it is mentioned after, which shows, they say, that they are equally alike {p}:

he shall bring it a female without blemish;
typical of Christ the Lamb of God, without spot and without blemish, ( 1 Peter 1:19 ) .
