 The prophet takes his place with the people, confessing their sins as his own, and justifying God in His government....When defilement comes in amongst the people of God, the whole is defiled: “Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?” (1 Cor. 5:6; Gal. 5:9). Unless the sin is acknowledged, owned and confessed collectively, it cannot be dealt with. When the horror of the evil and sin is felt as our own, then action will follow as being needful to purge oneself of it — this is what it means to eat the sin offering (Lev. 6:26, 29). (Ezra?s Intercessory Prayer - Ezra 9:3-11 by N. Simon)
