SCRIPTURE

"if his sin, wherein he hath sinned, be made known to him, he shall bring for his oblation a goat, a male without blemish." — Leviticus 4:23 (ASV)

Or if his sin wherein he has sinned come to his
knowledge
Or rather, "and if his sin", etc. F13 either by means of others informing him of it, or of himself calling to mind what he has done, and considering it to be a transgression of the law:

he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a male without
blemish ;
his offering was to be a "kid of the goats", a fat and a large one; because, as Baal Hatturim observes, he ate fat things every day; and to distinguish it from the offering of one of the common people; and "without blemish"; as all sacrifices were, that they might be typical of the offering of Christ without spot.
