Commentary on the Old Testament
C. F. Keil & F. Delitzsch · 19th-century historical commentary
Source: BibleWord.ai's local reference edition of this named work.
In the case of the sin of a common Israelite ("of the people of the land," i.e., of the rural population, Gen 23:7), that is to say, of an Israelite belonging to the people, as distinguished from the chiefs who ruled over the people ( Kg2 11:18-19; Kg2 16:15), the sin-offering was to consist of a shaggy she-goat without blemish, or a ewe-sheep ( Lev 4:32). The ceremonial in both cases was the same as with the he-goat ( Lev 4:23.). \- "According to the offerings made by fire unto the Lord" ( Lev 4:35): see at Lev 3:5. Next: Leviticus Chapter 5
