Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Leviticus 5:15-16

_ _ sin through ignorance, in the holy things of the Lord, etc. — This is a case of sacrilege committed ignorantly, either in not paying the full due of tithes, first-fruits, and similar tribute in eating of meats, which belonged to the priests alone — or he was required, along with the restitution in money, the amount of which was to be determined by the priest, to offer a ram for a trespass offering, as soon as he came to the knowledge of his involuntary fraud.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Leviticus 5:14-19.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Leviticus 5:15

A trespass — Against the Lord and his priests. Through ignorance — For if a man did it knowingly, he was to be cut off, Numbers 15:30. In the holy things — In things consecrated to God, and to holy uses; such as tithes and first — fruits, or any things due, or devoted to God, which possibly a man might either with — hold, or employ to some common use. A ram — A more chargeable sacrifice than the former, as the sin of sacrilege was greater. With thy estimation — As thou shalt esteem or rate it, thou, O priest; and at present, thou, O Moses, for he as yet performed the priest's part. And this was an additional charge and punishment to him; besides the ram, he was to pay for the holy thing which he had with — held or abused, so many shekels of silver as the priest should esteem proportionable to it.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Leviticus 5:15

If a soul commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance, (g) in the holy things of the LORD; then he shall bring for his trespass unto the LORD a ram without blemish out of the flocks, (h) with thy estimation by shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering:

(g) Concerning the first fruits or tithes, due to the priests and Levites.

(h) By the estimation of the priest, (Leviticus 27:12).
