Numbers 15:28

WEB

The priest shall make atonement for the soul who errs, when he sins unwittingly, before the Lord, to make atonement for him; and he shall be forgiven.

KJV

And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul that sinneth ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before the LORD, to make an atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him.

Commentary

And the priest shall make atonement for the soul that sinneth ignorantly,.... By offering his sin offering fo r 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.
