John Gill 1763 · Public Domain You shall have one law for him that sinneth…
You shall have one law for him that sinneth through ignorance,.... Which enjoins a she goat for a sin offering for such:
both for him that is born amongst the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them; both sinning through ignorance, the same sacrifice was offered for them, by which atonement was made, and through which their sin was forgiven; by whom are meant homeborn Israelites and proselytes of righteousness, who were under the same laws, and enjoyed the same privileges, as do now believing Jews and Gentiles.
