And the priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel; etc.] By offering a sin offering for them, a type of Christ, the propitiation not only for the sins of the people among the Jews, but throughout the whole world, (<620202>1 John 2:2); and it shall be forgiven them; as the sins of the Lord’s people are forgiven them through the blood of Christ, and on account of his stoning sacrifice and satisfaction made for them: for it [is] ignorance; a sin of ignorance, for which reason Christ pleads for pardon on the foot of his sacrifice, and his people receive it, (<422334>Luke 23:34 <540113>1 Timothy 1:13); for that this sin was forgiven on the score of a sacrifice appears by what follows: and they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord; the bullock for the burnt offering: and their sin offering before the Lord, for their ignorance; a kid of the goats.
