68 - OFFERING OF A COURT THAT HAS ERRED
Leviticus 4:13 -- "Now if the whole congregation of Israel sins unintentionally, and the thing is hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done something against any of the commandments of the LORD in anything which should not be done, and are guilty”
The Mishnah says, “If the Court gives a decision uprooting an entire principle (of the Law): if they say… ‘There is naught in the Law concerning idolatry’, they (i.e. the members of the Court) are not culpable. But if they say… ‘The Law does treat of idolatry, but if a man only bows down to an idol he is exempt’, they are culpable.”*
* Hor. 3b
