Chap. XV.

(id : or, becauſe here is added a new penalty, to breed the greater caution and diligence in the 7/aelites, who had given many inſtances, and now a freſh and eminent inſtance, of their heedleſneſs in obſer- ving the commandsof God: and 1o, beſides that bullock for a ſin- offering, which he leaves to be gathered out of Lev: 4. 14: he now requires another bullock for a burnt offering.

25 And the prieſt ſhall make an atonement forall the congregation of the children of Ifrael, and it hall be forgiven them, for it is ignorance : and chey (hall bring their offering, 4 ſacrifice made by-fire unto the LORD, and their ſin-efering before the LORD, for

their ignorance. >6 Andit (ball beforgiven all the congregation of the

children of Iſrael,and the ſtranger that fojourneth among

them, ſing all the people ere in 1gnorance.

27 * Andif any foul ſin through ingorance, then he ſhall bring a ſhe-goat of he firſt year for a ſin-effering.

28 And the pricſt ſhall make an aronement for the ſoul thac ſinneth ignorantly, when he ſinneth by 1gno- rance before the LORD, to make an atonement fo; him, and it ſhall be forgiven him. |

29 Ye (hall have one law for him that F ſinnet! through ignorance, beth for him that 1s born amongfi the children of Iſrael, and for the ſtranger char ſojour- neth among them. |

30 But the ſoul that doth ought 5+ preſumptuouſly #, ( whether he be born in the land, or a ſtranger ) the ſame reproacheth the LORD « ; and that ſoul ſhall be cut off from among his people.

See Exod: 14: 8: Levit: 26: 21. Numb: 33: 3: Job 15: 26: Pſal: 19: 13. #u (i.e.) He ſers God at defiance, and expoſeth him to contempr, as if he were unworthy of any regard, and unable to puniſh trantgreflors,

21 Becauſe he hath deſpiſed the word of the LORD, and hath broken his commandment, that ſoul ſhall urterly be cut off : his iniquity ſhall be upon him x.

x (5. e. ) The pumithment ſhall be confined to himſelf, and not fall upon the congregation, as 1t will do, if they neglet to cut him

32 And while the children of Iſrael were in the wile derneſs, they found a man that gathered ſticks on the ſabbath day y.

y This ſeems to be added as an example of a preſumprtuous fin : for as the law of the Sabbath was plain and poſitive, ſo this tranſ- greflion of it muſt needs be a known and wilful fin.

33 And they that found him gathering ſticks, brough: him unto Moſes and Aaron, and unto all the congrega- tion 2.

Aaron, and the 75 Rulers laſt mentiened. 4 (7. e. ) In wht manner he was to be cut off, or by what kind of Death he was to die, which therefore God here particularly deter- mines : otherwiſe it was known in general that ſabbath-breakers were to be pur to death, from Exod: 31: 14: and 35: 2.

25 And the LORD {aid unto Moſes, * The man ſhall be ſurely put to death : all the congregation ſhal; ſtone him with ftones without the camp. _

35 And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and ſtoned him with ſtones, as the LOR commanded Moſes.

37 And the LORD ſpake unto Moſes, ſaying,
