Leviticus 4:10

4:1-12 Burnt-offerings, meat-offerings, and peace-offerings, had been offered before the giving of the law upon mount Sinai; and in these the patriarchs had respect to sin, to make atonement for it. But the Jews were now put into a way of making atonement for sin, more particularly by sacrifice, as a shadow of good things to come; yet the substance is Christ, and that one offering of himself, by which he put away sin. The sins for which the sin-offerings were appointed are supposed to be open acts. They are supposed to be sins of commission, things which ought not to have been done. Omissions are sins, and must come into judgment: yet what had been omitted at one time, might be done at another; but a sin committed was past recall. They are supposed to be sins committed through ignorance. The law begins with the case of the anointed priest. It is evident that God never had any infallible priest in his church upon earth, when even the high priest was liable to fall into sins of ignorance. All pretensions to act without error are sure marks of Antichrist. The beast was to be carried without the camp, and there burned to ashes. This was a sign of the duty of repentance, which is the putting away sin as a detestable thing, which our soul hates. The sin-offering is called sin. What they did to that, we must do to our sins; the body of sin must be destroyed, Ro 6:6. The apostle applies the carrying this sacrifice without the camp to Christ, Heb 13:11-13.

And he shall take off from it all the fat of the bullock for the sin offering,.... When the priest had killed the bullock, and sprinkled and poured the blood, as before commanded; he then cut up the bullock, and took out its inwards, and put them in a vessel, and salted them, and strowed them on the fires (z), and burnt them, and the fat of them, as he did with the sacrifice of the peace offerings; so that what is here said, and in the two next verses Leviticus 4:9 , is the same with what is ordered concerning them in Leviticus 3:3 ; see Gill on Leviticus 3:3 , Leviticus 3:4 , Leviticus 3:5 . Jarchi and Gersom both observe that they agree, that as one brings peace into the world, so does the other. (z) Maimon. ib. (Maasch Hakorbanot) c. 7. sect. 2.

Le 4:3-35. Sin Offering for the Priest. 3. If the priest that is anointed do sin—that is, the high priest, in whom, considering his character as typical mediator, and his exalted office, the people had the deepest interest; and whose transgression of any part of the divine law, therefore, whether done unconsciously or heedlessly, was a very serious offense, both as regarded himself individually, and the influence of his example. He is the person principally meant, though the common order of the priesthood was included. according to the sin of the people—that is, bring guilt on the people. He was to take a young bullock (the age and sex being expressly mentioned), and having killed it according to the form prescribed for the burnt offerings, he was to take it into the holy place and sprinkle the atoning blood seven times before the veil, and tip with the crimson fluid the horns of the golden altar of incense, on his way to the court of the priests,—a solemn ceremonial appointed only for very grave and heinous offenses, and which betokened that his sin, though done in ignorance, had vitiated all his services; nor could any official duty he engaged in be beneficial either to himself or the people, unless it were atoned for by blood.

[Bible] Leviticus Chapter 4 Of offerings for sins of ignorance. 4:1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 4:2. Say to the children of Israel: The soul that sinneth through ignorance, and doth any thing concerning any of the commandments of the Lord, which he commanded not to be done: Ignorance... To be ignorant of what we are bound to know is sinful; and for such culpable ignorance, these sacrifices, prescribed in this and the following chapter, were appointed. 4:3. If the priest that is anointed shall sin, making the people to offend, he shall offer to the Lord for his sin a calf without blemish. 4:4. And he shall bring it to the door of the testimony before the Lord: and shall put his hand upon the head thereof, and shall sacrifice it to the Lord. 4:5. He shall take also of the blood of the calf: and carry it into the tabernacle of the testimony. The blood... As the figure of the blood of Christ shed for the remission of our sins, and carried by him into the sanctuary of heaven. 4:6. And having dipped his finger in the blood, he shall sprinkle with it seven times before the Lord, before the veil of the sanctuary. 4:7. And he shall put some of the same blood upon the horns of the altar of the sweet incense most acceptable to the Lord, which is in the tabernacle of the testimony. And he shall pour all the rest of the blood at the foot of the altar of holocaust in the entry of the tabernacle. 4:8. And he shall take off the fat of the calf for the sin offering, as well that which covereth the entrails, as all the inwards: 4:9. The two little kidneys, and the caul that is upon them, which is by the flanks, and the fat of the liver with the little kidneys: 4:10. As it is taken off from the calf of the sacrifice of peace offerings. And he shall burn them upon the altar of holocaust. 4:11. But the skin and all the flesh with the head and the feet and the bowels and the dung:

[Bible] 4:11. But the skin and all the flesh with the head and the feet and the bowels and the dung: 4:12. And the rest of the body, he shall carry forth without the camp into a clean place where the ashes are wont to be poured out: and he shall burn them upon a pile of wood. They shall be burnt in the place where the ashes are poured out. 4:13. And if all the multitude of Israel shall be ignorant, and through ignorance shall do that which is against the commandment of the Lord, 4:14. And afterwards shall understand their sin: they shall offer for their sin a calf, and shall bring it to the door of the tabernacle. 4:15. And the ancients of the people shall put their hands upon the head thereof before the Lord. And the calf being immolated in the sight of the Lord: 4:16. The priest that is anointed shall carry of the blood into the tabernacle of the testimony. 4:17. And shall dip his finger in it and sprinkle it seven times before the veil. 4:18. And he shall put of the same blood on the horns of the altar that is before the Lord, in the tabernacle of the testimony. And the rest of the blood he shall pour at the foot of the altar of holocaust, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony. 4:19. And all the fat thereof he shall take off, and shall burn it upon the altar: 4:20. Doing so with this calf, as he did also with that before. And the priest praying for them, the Lord will be merciful unto them. 4:21. But the calf itself he shall carry forth without the camp, and shall burn it as he did the former calf: because it is for the sin of the multitude. 4:22. If a prince shall sin, and through ignorance do any one of the things that the law of the Lord forbiddeth, 4:23. And afterwards shall come to know his sin: he shall offer a buck goat without blemish, a sacrifice to the Lord. 4:24. And he shall put his hand upon the head thereof: and when he hath immolated it in the place where the holocaust is wont to be slain before the Lord, because it is for sin,

[Reformed Biblical] was obliged to join with that ceremonial rite. ## Before the veil, to wit, the second veil dividing between the holy of holies, which is generally called by the name here used, as Exo_26:31 35:12 40:3,21 Numbers 4:5.

Leviticus 4:8 Leviticus 4:9 Leviticus 4:10 Leviticus 4:11 Leviticus 4:12 So no part of this was to be eaten by the priests, as it was in other sin-offerings, Lev_6:26. The reason is plain, because the offerer might not eat of his own sin-offering, and the priest was the offerer in this case, as also in the sin-offering for the whole congregation below, Lev_4:21, of which the priest himself was a member. ## Shall he carry forth; not himself, which would have defiled him, but by another whom he shall appoint for that work, as may be gathered from Lev_16:27,28. ## Without the camp, to signify either, 1. The horrible and abominable nature of sin, especially in high and holy persons, or when it overspreads a whole people. Or, 2. The removing of t

See Poole " Lev_3:5 " . ## Leviticus 5: 1 LEVITICUS CHAPTER 5 If a man heard or knew of blasphemy, and concealed it, he must atone it, Lev_5:1. Or if he touch any unclean thing, and is made sensible of it, or have s worn rashly, he is guilty, must confess it, and offer a lamb or goat, female; in case of poverty, two turtle- doves, or two young p igeons, one for a sin, and one for a burnt- offering, Lev_5:2-10. But if this were too much, the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour, without oil or frankincense, Lev_5:11-13.
