Contextual Overview

13 ‘If all the people of Israel sin and do not obey what the Lord has told them, without meaning to and without knowing about it, they are guilty. 14 When their sin becomes known, the people will give a bull from the herd for a sin gift. They will bring it in front of the meeting tent. 15 Then the leaders of the people will lay their hands on the bull's head before the Lord. And the bull will be killed before the Lord. 16 The chosen religious leader will take some of the bull's blood to the meeting tent. 17 There the religious leader will put his finger in the blood and put it seven times before the Lord and in front of the curtains. 18 He will put some of the blood on the horns of the altar before the Lord in the meeting tent. And he will pour out all the blood at the base of the altar of burnt gifts at the door of the meeting tent. 19 He will take all its fat from it and burn it on the altar. 20 He will do the same with the bull as he did with the bull of the sin gift. So the religious leader will pay for their sins. And they will be forgiven. 21 Then he will bring the bull away from the tents and burn it as he burned the first bull. It is the sin gift for all the people.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

When the sin which they have sinned against it,.... Any of the commandments of the Lord forbidding such a thing to be done:

is known; is made known to them by the priest, or any other, so that they are convinced that what has been done is wrong, though done through ignorance:

then the congregation shall offer a young bullock for the sin, and bring him before the tabernacle of the congregation; the same offering with that of the anointed priest, he being, as Aben Ezra on the place observes, equal to all Israel.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

When the sin ... is known - Compare 1 Samuel 14:31-35.
