Leviticus 4:22-35 - Homilies By J.a. Macdonald

The sin offering of the rider and of any of the people.

As in the preceding paragraph we have lessons from the relation of sin offering to communities, here we are reminded—

I. THAT INDIVIDUALS ARE RESPONSIBLE TO GOD . We have:

1 . The responsibility of the ruler.

2 . The responsibility of the private person.

II. THAT SIN OFFERING IS PROVIDED FOR INDIVIDUALS .

1 . It is appointed for the ruler ( Leviticus 4:22-26 ).

2 . It is appointed for the common person ( Leviticus 4:27-35 ).

III. THAT SIN OFFERING IS DISCRIMINATIVE .

1 . As to the nature of the sin.

2 . As to the time of the offering.

3 . For obstinate infidelity there is no mercy.
