Lev 4:13 | MHM | STEP | Leviticus 4:13: Sin-Offering for the Whole Congregation This passage gives the law for when the whole nation of Israel sins by mistake. If the leaders make an error in understanding God’s law and lead the people into sin, then a sin-offering must be made when the mistake is discovered. This law shows that even God’s people as a group can be wrong, but God provides a way for forgiveness and for His anger to be turned away from the nation. v. 13 : The Bible teaches that the whole congregation can sin through ignorance. Even the leaders and the whole church can make mistakes. God never promised that His people on earth would be perfect or always right. This means that traditions or common practices, even if accepted by many, can still be wrong in God’s eyes and need to be corrected.
