So the priest shall make atonement for him regarding his ignorance in which he erred and did not know it, and it shall be forgiven him.”
The wider application of this commandment may be gathered from the following episode mentioned in the Mishnah: “They told of Baba b. Buta that he offered of his own free will a Suspensive Guilt-offering every day save only the day after the Day of Atonement. He said, ‘By this Temple! Had they allowed me, I would have offered one even then, but they said to me, “Wait until you have come to a state of doubt”’”.* * Ker. 25a
