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 Sa 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.1,2; 5:2-5,17; Nu 15:24-29; Jos 7:11,24-26; 1Ti 1:13; Heb 10:26-29and are guilty.5:2-5,17; 6:4; Ezr 10:19; Ho 5:15; *marg:1Co 11:27 young bullock.3Leviticus 4:22-23
a ruler hath sinned.Under the term {nasi,} that is, one preferred or elevated above others, from {nasa,} to exalt, it is probable that any person is meant who held any kind of political dignity among the people; and it evidently means the head of a tribe as in Nu 1:4, 16; 7:2. But the Rabbins generally understand it of the prince of the great sanhedrin, who, when they were under the regal form of government, was the king. A kid of the goats was the sacrifice in this case; and the rites were nearly the same as in the preceding, only the fat was burnt as that of the peace offering. (ver. 26.)

they brought.The law only required one bullock for the sins of the high priest, another for the sins of the people, and one he-goat for the sins of the prince: but Hezekiah offered many more, and the reason appears sufficiently evident: the law only speaks of the sins of ignorance, but here there were sins of every dye, idolatry, apostasy from the Divine worship, profanation of the temple, etc., etc. The sin offerings, we are informed, were offered, first, for the Kingdom, for the transgressions of the king and his family; secondly, for the sanctuary, which had been defiled and polluted; and for the priests, who had been profane, negligent, and unholy; and finally, for Judah, for the whole mass of the people, who had been led away into every kind of abomination by the above examples. seven.Nu 23:1,14,29; 1Ch 15:26; Ezr 8:35; Job 42:8; Eze 45:23a sin offering.Le 4:3-14; Nu 15:22-24; 2Co 5:21 sprinkled.Le 1:5; 4:7,18,34; 8:14,15,19,24; Heb 9:21,22 forth.
