This law concerning sins of ignorance, being entirely diverse from one before considered, occasions considerable difficulty. (Le ch. 4.)
Some explain that law as relating to sins of commission, this to sins of omission:
others explain the one of inadvertent violations of the moral law, and the other of the transgressions of the ceremonial law:
and some think that related to the whole nation, this to any one tribe; or that to the bulk of the nation, this to the rulers and elders.
The Jews say, that the former law referred to such national transgressions through heedlessness, as consisted with the maintenance of the prescribed worship in the main; but that this especially respected the case of the nation, when through inattention, and the example and authority of wicked rulers, they had turned aside and committed idolatry, or conducted their worship directly contrary to law; yet through a culpable ignorance, and not in presumption.
This was evidently the case under several of their kings; and the explanation seems well grounded.
Lev. 4:2,13‑14,22,27• 2Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin inadvertently against any of Jehovah's commandments, that ought not to be done, and do any of them;
 13And if the whole assembly of Israel err and the thing be hid from the eyes of the congregation, and they have done any of all the commandments of Jehovah which should not be done, and are guilty;
 14and the sin wherein they have sinned against it is become known; then the congregation shall present a young bullock for the sin offering, and bring it before the tent of meeting.
 22When a ruler sinneth and through inadvertence doeth any of all the things which Jehovah his God hath commanded not to be done, and is guilty;
 27And if one (a soul) of the people of the land sin through inadvertence in doing any things which Jehovah hath commanded not to be done, and be guilty; (Lev. 4:2,13‑14,22,27)
;
Lev. 5:13,15‑17• 13And the priest shall make atonement for him from his sin which he hath sinned in one of them, and it shall be forgiven him; and it shall be the priest's as the oblation.
 15If any one commit a perfidy, and sin inadvertently in the holy things of Jehovah, then he shall bring his trespass offering to Jehovah, a ram without blemish out of the flock, according to thine estimation by shekels of silver after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering.
 16And he shall make restitution for what he hath done amiss in the holy thing, and shall add the fifth part thereto, and give it unto the priest; and the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering; and it shall be forgiven him.
 17And if any one sin or do against any of all the commandments of Jehovah what should not be done, and hath not known, yet is he guilty, and shall bear his iniquity. (Lev. 5:13,15‑17)
;
Psa. 19:12• 12Errors—who discerneth them?{HR}Cleanse thou me from secret [ones]. (Psa. 19:12)
;
Luke 12:48• 48But he who knew [it] not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few. And to everyone to whom much is given, much shall be required from him: and to whom [men] have committed much, they will ask from him the more. (Luke 12:48)
• The sins of ignorance are forgiven by means of the sacrifice required by the perfectness of the ways of God. (“Numbers 15” by J.N. Darby)
