| If the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man, &c.--that is, connive at their countrymen practising the horrid rites of Molech. Awful was it that any Hebrew parents could so violate their national covenant, and no wonder that God denounced the severest penalties against them and their families. |
| Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
| If the people, however (the people of the land), should hide their eyes from him (on the dagesh in חעלּם and יעלּימוּ see the note on Lev 4:13-21), from an unscrupulous indifference or a secret approval of his sin, the Lord would direct His face against him and his family, and cut him off with all that went a whoring after him. |

13 And if the whole congregation [05712] of Israel [03478] sin through ignorance [07686], and the thing [01697] be hid [05956] from the eyes [05869] of the assembly [06951], and they have done [06213] somewhat against any [0259] of the commandments [04687] of the LORD [03068] concerning things which should not be done [06213], and are guilty [0816];
14 When the sin [02403], which they have sinned [02398] against it, is known [03045], then the congregation [06951] shall offer [07126] a young [01241] [01121] bullock [06499] for the sin [02403], and bring [0935] him before [06440] the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150].
15 And the elders [02205] of the congregation [05712] shall lay [05564] their hands [03027] upon the head [07218] of the bullock [06499] before [06440] the LORD [03068]: and the bullock [06499] shall be killed [07819] before [06440] the LORD [03068].
16 And the priest [03548] that is anointed [04899] shall bring [0935] of the bullock's [06499] blood [01818] to the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150]:
17 And the priest [03548] shall dip [02881] his finger [0676] in some of the blood [01818], and sprinkle [05137] it seven [07651] times [06471] before [06440] the LORD [03068], even before [06440] the vail [06532].
18 And he shall put [05414] some of the blood [01818] upon the horns [07161] of the altar [04196] which is before [06440] the LORD [03068], that is in the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], and shall pour out [08210] all the blood [01818] at the bottom [03247] of the altar [04196] of the burnt offering [05930], which is at the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150].
19 And he shall take [07311] all his fat [02459] from him, and burn [06999] it upon the altar [04196].
20 And he shall do [06213] with the bullock [06499] as he did [06213] with the bullock [06499] for a sin offering [02403], so shall he do [06213] with this: and the priest [03548] shall make an atonement [03722] for them, and it shall be forgiven [05545] them.
21 And he shall carry forth [03318] the bullock [06499] without [02351] the camp [04264], and burn [08313] him as he burned [08313] the first [07223] bullock [06499]: it is a sin offering [02403] for the congregation [06951].
