George Haydock's Catholic Commentary

Leviticus 4:13

Multitude assembled. Septuagint add, "be involuntarily ignorant, and no one of the congregation perceive the truth, ( or word,) and shall transgress, by commission or omission, one of all the precepts of the Lord." Such was the offence of Saul and the people, 1 Kings xiv. 33. On these occasions, the elders were to put their hands on the victim, to acknowledge the general offence, if it were not of too heinous a nature to be expiated by sacrifice. See Deuteronomy xiii. 12.
