“And if a soul sin, and commit any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the commandments of the Lord; though he wist it not, yet is he guilty, and shall bear his iniquity.”
If anyone sins and does what is forbidden in any of the Lord's commands, even though they do not know it, they are guilty and will be held responsible. The borderline case between the sin offering and the guilt offering: a sin committed without awareness that it was a violation of the Lord's commands. The guilt is real even without knowledge that the specific action was prohibited. Numbers 15:29 says the same law applies to everyone who sins unintentionally — the principle of real guilt for unintentional sin runs through both the sin offering and guilt offering systems.
