Leviticus 4:13-21
Now, why seventy? What is the significance of the number 70? To offer a young bull was not an ordinary sacrifice. It was an unusual sacrifice, in a sense. Leviticus 4:13-21 tells us that, when Israel as a nation sinned and sought forgiveness, a young bull was offered at that time. Ordinary citizens could offer lambs, goats, and doves; but it was the priesthood who had to offer the bulls.
Leviticus 4:14
This is a sin where mob psychology begins to take hold. The person does not control himself, and the whole group of people gets caught up in what is going on and becomes involved in a sin.
For the high priest a bullock was required. For all the congregation—all of Israel—a bullock was required.
