He shall bring his trespass offering unto the Lord, etc.] To the priest of the Lord, to offer it for him; he, and not she, as the Targum of Jonathan has it; (see Gill on “<031920>Leviticus 19:20”): unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation; where all offerings were to be brought, (<031704>Leviticus 17:4,5); [even] a ram for a trespass offering; which was the usual creature for such a sacrifice, (<030515>Leviticus 5:15,18 6:6); the woman was not obliged to bring any, she being a bondmaid; and so having nothing of her own, but what was her master’s, her circumstances are considered, and scourging was sufficient.
