Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

A kid of the goats - A shaggy she-goat.

Or if his sin which he hath sinned come to his knowledge,.... So that he is convinced that he has sinned:
then he shall bring his offering; to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to the priest there:
a kid of the goats: a young goat:
a female without blemish; and so inferior to the offering of the ruler or prince; for the characters of men are aggravations of their sins, and sacrifices were to be in some measure answerable to them, and suitable to their circumstances:
for the sin which he hath sinned; to atone for it in a typical way.

A female - Which here was sufficient, because the sin of one of those was less than the sin of the ruler, for whom a male was required.
