Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerses 17-19. Sins of commission may be atoned for by the trespass offering as well as sins of omission.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(17) And if a soul sin.--To guard the Israelites most effectually against making profane use of anything dedicated to the sanctuary and its service, it is here further enacted in Leviticus 5:17-19, that a trespass offering is to be brought when a man only suspects that he had used things which belonged to the Lord, though he can no longer remember what particular holy property it was, which he used for his own purpose. In the canonical exposition, which obtained during the second Temple, of these sacrificial laws, the trespass offering enacted here is called "The Doubtful Offering," in contradistinction to the one enacted in Leviticus 5:14-16, which is called "The Certain Offering."These things.--That is, the holy things of the Lord specified in Leviticus 5:15.Though he wist it not, i.e., is uncertain about it. Thus, for instance, he might be in doubt whether or not his transgression consisted in not delivering the first-fruit to the sanctuary, or in having used some other sacred property. (Comp. Genesis 20:5, &c, 2Samuel 20:1, &c.) . . .
