Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

And the priest shall make atonement for the soul that sinneth ignorantly,.... By offering his sin offering for him:
when he sinneth by ignorance before the Lord; to whom it is known to be such, before whom all things are naked, open, and well known:
to make an atonement for him, and it shall be forgiven him; upon that atonement made by sacrifice; so the forgiveness of the sins of all the Lord's people proceeds upon an atonement made by the blood and sacrifice of Christ: full atonement of sin and free forgiveness are not contrary to each other.
