Leviticus 4:13 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown Book Notes

Leviticus 4:13

11 ^aBut the bull’s hide and all its flesh, with its head and legs, its entrails and offal—

12 the whole bull he shall carry outside the camp to a clean place, ^awhere the ashes are poured out, and ^bburn it on wood with fire; where the ashes are poured out it shall be burned.

13 ‘Now ^aif the whole congregation of Israel sins unintentionally, ^band the thing is hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done something against any of the commandments of the Lord in anything which should not be done, and are guilty;

14 when the sin which they have committed becomes known, then the assembly shall offer a young bull for the sin, and bring it before the tabernacle of meeting.

15 And the elders of the congregation ^ashall lay their hands on the head of the bull before the Lord. Then the bull shall be killed before the Lord.

16 ^aThe anointed priest shall bring some of the bull’s blood to the tabernacle of meeting.

17 Then the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the Lord, in front of the veil.

18 And he shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar which is before the Lord, which is in the tabernacle of meeting; and he shall pour the remaining blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of meeting.

Leviticus

LEVITICUS. So called from its treating of the laws relating to the ritual, the services, and sacrifices of the Jewish religion, the superintendence of which was entrusted to the Levitical priesthood. It is chiefly, however, the duties of the priests, "the sons of Aaron," which this book describes; and its claim to be the work of Moses is established by the following passages:— II Chronicles 30:16; Nehemiah 8:14; Jeremiah 7:22-23; Ezekiel 20:11 Matthew 8:4; Luke 2:22; John 8:5; Romans 10:4; Romans 13:9; II Corinthians 6:16; Galatians 3:12; I Peter 1:16.
