Nombres 15:25

Louis Segond

Le sacrificateur fera l'expiation pour toute l'assemblée des enfants d'Israël, et il leur sera pardonné; car ils ont péché involontairement, et ils ont apporté leur offrande, un sacrifice consumé par le feu en l'honneur de l'Eternel et une victime expiatoire devant l'Eternel, à cause du péché qu'ils ont involontairement commis.

La Bible Ostervald (1996)
Et le sacrificateur fera l'expiation pour toute l'assemblée des enfants d'Israël, et il leur sera pardonné, parce que c'est un péché commis par erreur, et qu'ils ont apporté devant l'Éternel leur offrande, un sacrifice fait par le feu à l'Éternel et leur sacrifice pour le péché, à cause de leur erreur.

Darby's French Translation
Et le sacrificateur fera propitiation pour toute l'assemblée des fils d'Israël, et il leur sera pardonné, car c'est une chose arrivée par erreur, et ils ont amené devant l'Éternel leur offrande, un sacrifice par feu à l'Éternel, et le sacrifice pour leur péché, à cause de leur erreur.

La Bible David Martin (1744)
Ainsi le Sacrificateur fera propitiation pour toute l'assemblée des enfants d'Israël, et il leur sera pardonné; parce que c'est une chose arrivée par erreur; et ils amèneront devant l'Eternel leur offrande qui doit être un sacrifice fait par feu à l'Eternel, et [l'offrande pour] leur péché, à cause de leur erreur.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel;.... By offering a sin offering for them, a type of Christ, the propitiation not only for the sins of the people among the Jews, but throughout the whole world, 1 John 2:2;

and it shall be forgiven them; as the sins of the Lord's people are forgiven them through the blood of Christ, and on account of his stoning sacrifice and satisfaction made for them:

for it [is] ignorance; a sin of ignorance, for which reason Christ pleads for pardon on the foot of his sacrifice, and his people receive it, Luke 23:34; for that this sin was forgiven on the score of a sacrifice appears by what follows:

and they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord; the bullock for the burnt offering:

and their sin offering before the Lord, for their ignorance; a kid of the goats.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The heavy punishments which had already overtaken the people might naturally give rise to apprehensions for the future, especially in view of the fact that on the approaching entrance into Canaan the complete observance of the Law in all its details would become imperative on them. To meet such apprehensions a distinction is emphatically drawn between sins of ignorance (Leviticus 4:13 ff) and those of presumption Numbers 15:30-31. The passage deals separately with imperfections of obedience which would be regarded as attaching to the whole nation Numbers 15:22-26, and those of individuals Numbers 15:27-30.

Numbers 15:24

Without the knowledge of the congregation - literally, as marginal. The words point to an error of omission which escaped notice at the time: i. e. to an oversight.

Numbers 15:30

Presumptuously - The original (compare the margin, and Exodus 14:8) imports something done willfully and openly; in the case of a sin against God it implies that the act is committed ostentatiously and in bravado.

Reproacheth the Lord - Rather, revileth or blasphemeth the Lord: compare Ezekiel 20:27.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Numbers 15:25. The priest shall make an atonement — Even sins committed through ignorance required an atonement; and God in his mercy has provided one for them.
