John Gill Commentary Leviticus 4:32

"And if he bring a lamb as his oblation for a sin-offering, he shall bring it a female without blemish." — Leviticus 4:32 (ASV)

And if he bring a lamb for a sin offering
As he might if he would.

The Jews observe that in all places a lamb is put before a goat, as being more excellent in its kind. But here it is mentioned after, which shows, they say, that they are equally alike ^F16.

he shall bring it a female without blemish ;
typical of Christ the Lamb of God, without spot and without blemish, (1 Peter 1:19) .
