    “Unknown trespass“If a person sins and violates any of the LORD’s commandments which must not be violated(although he did not know it at the time, but later realizes he is guilty), then he will bear his punishment for iniquity and must bring a flawless ram from the flock, convertible into silver shekels, for a guilt offering to the priest. So the priest will make atonement on his behalf for his error which he committed(although he himself had not known it) and he will be forgiven. It is a guilt offering; he was surely guilty before the LORD.””

It is an offering for his error: he is certainly responsible before the Lord.”
