Leviticus 4:2

Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin through {a} ignorance against any of the commandments of the LORD [concerning things] which ought not to be done, and shall do against any of them:

(a) That is, of negligence or ignorance, especially in the ceremonial law: for otherwise the punishment for a crime is determined according to the transgression, Nu 15:22.

Leviticus 4:13

And if the {f} whole congregation of Israel sin through ignorance, and the thing be hid from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done [somewhat against] any of the commandments of the LORD [concerning things] which should not be done, and are guilty;

(f) The multitude does not excuse the sin, but if all have sinned, they must all be punished.
