"Si es toda la congregación de Israel la que comete error, y el asunto pasa desapercibido a la asamblea, y hacen cualquiera de las cosas que el Señor ha mandado que no se hagan, haciéndose así culpables,
Y si toda la congregaci�n de Israel hubiere errado, y el negocio estuviere oculto � los ojos del pueblo, y hubieren hecho algo contra alguno de los mandamientos de Jehov� en cosas que no se han de hacer, y fueren culpables;
Y si toda la congregaci�n de Israel hubiere errado, y el negocio estuviere oculto a los ojos del pueblo, y hubieren hecho algo contra alguno de los mandamientos de Jehov� en cosas que no se han de hacer, y fueren culpables;
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
the whole congregation: This may refer to some oversight in acts of religious worship, or to some transgression of the letter of the law, which arose out of the peculiar circumstances in which they were found, as in the case mentioned in 1 Samuel 14:32, et seq. The sacrifices and rites in this case were the same as in the preceding; only here the elders laid their hands on the head of the victim, in the name of all the congregation.
through ignorance: Leviticus 4:1, Leviticus 4:2, Leviticus 5:2-5, Leviticus 5:17, Numbers 15:24-29, Joshua 7:11, Joshua 7:24-26, 1 Timothy 1:13, Hebrews 10:26-29
and are guilty: Leviticus 5:2-5, Leviticus 5:17, Leviticus 6:4, Ezra 10:19, Hosea 5:15, *marg. 1 Corinthians 11:27
Reciprocal: Genesis 34:7 - thing Leviticus 4:22 - and done Leviticus 4:27 - common people Numbers 15:22 - General 2 Kings 16:15 - the king's burnt 2 Chronicles 29:24 - the sin offering Ezra 6:17 - a sin offering Ezekiel 40:39 - the sin Hebrews 7:27 - and then James 2:11 - Now
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And if the whole congregation of Israel sin through ignorance,.... That is, all Israel, or the greatest part of them, as Gersom interprets it, through the ignorant teaching of the judges, who by their instruction cause the people to err, and commit sins of ignorance, as Baal Hatturim on the place observes, and Maimonides elsewhere g; wherefore Jarchi, and some others, by the congregation of Israel understand the sanhedrim, or the bench of judges, consisting of seventy one. Ainsworth remarks on the words, that the church may err:
and the thing be hid from the eyes of the assembly; congregation or church, so that they do not know that it is a sin which they have committed:
and they have done [somewhat against] any of the commandments of the Lord, [concerning things] which should not be done; transgressed negative precepts:
and are guilty; of sin, though as yet they know it not.
g Hilchot Shegagot, c. 12. sect. 1.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Congregation ... assembly - Each of the Hebrew words signifies the people in a collected body. It does not appear that there is any difference between them in the connection in which they are here used.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Leviticus 4:13. If the whole congregation of Israel sin — This probably refers to some oversight in acts of religious worship, or to some transgression of the letter of the law, which arose out of the peculiar circumstances in which they were then found, such as the case mentioned 1 Samuel 14:32, c., where the people, through their long and excessive fatigue in their combat with the Philistines, being faint, flew on the spoil, and took sheep, oxen, and calves, and slew them on the ground, and did eat with the blood and this was partly occasioned by the rash adjuration of Saul, mentioned 1 Samuel 14:24: Cursed be the man that eateth any food until evening.
The sacrifices and rites in this case were the same as those prescribed in the preceding, only here the elders of the congregation, i. e., three of the sanhedrim, according to Maimonides, laid their hands on the head of the victim in the name of all the congregation.
