Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Leviticus 4:24

The Heb. word for ‘ruler’ is ns ’, and is used of the princes of the tribes in Num 1:16; Num 2:3; Num 2:5 etc., Num 2:7, Num 34:18. Each of the spies sent in Numbers 13 was a ns ’. The same word is used of the heads of the Gershonites, Kohathites, and Merarites, Num 3:24; Num 3:30; Num 3:35. A.V. has ‘captain’ in ch. 2, ‘chief’ in ch. 3, ‘prince’ in chs. 1, 7 and 34, ‘ruler’ in ch. 13. R.V. has ‘prince’ throughout. The word denotes one in authority over a tribe or over a portion of it. Comparing Eze 34:24 ‘my servant David prince’ ( ns ’ Heb.) with Eze 37:24 ‘my servant David shall be king,’ Jewish tradition infers that a king is meant in this passage.

The burnt-offering is so called by way of eminency, to wit, the daily burnt-offering, of which Exo 29:38, of which place see Lev 1:11. It is a sin-offering, and therefore to be killed where the burnt-offering is killed, as is expressed Lev 6:25; Lev 7:2; whereby it is distinguished from the peace-offerings, which were killed elsewhere, Lev 3:2.

And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat,…. His right hand, as the Targum of Jonathan; [See comments on Le 1:4]
and kill it; not the prince, but the priest after mentioned, or the butcher, as the same Targum:
in the place where they hill the burnt offering before the Lord; in the court on the north side of the altar, see Le 1:11:
it is a sin offering: an offering for his sin of ignorance, or “sin”; so Christ our offering is said to be, 2Co 5:21.
