Definitions for Leviticus 5:17
Barnes's Leviticus 5:17 Bible Commentary
Though he wist it not - Ignorance of the Law, or even of the consequences of the act at the time that it was committed, was not to excuse him from the obligation to offer the sacrifice.
Wesley's Leviticus 5:17 Bible Commentary
5:17 The former law concerns the alienation of holy things from sacred to common use; this may concern other miscarriages about holy things, and holy duties, as may be gathered from Leviticus 5:19 , where this is said to be a trespass against the Lord, not in a general sense, for so every sin was; but in a proper and peculiar sense.
