Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Leviticus 4:21

It is a sin-offering for the congregation— Whatever is human, is liable to error. Nations and churches are all fallible, and, therefore, an atonement for national sins of ignorance is provided. The offering is the same as for the priest, as, most likely, their sins would be the same. Note; If the people live in ignorance and sin, much is to be feared for their teachers.
