Leviticus 5:17 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 5:17

And if a soul sin, and commit any of these things which
are forbidden to be done by the commandments of the Lord
Respecting holy things:

though he wist it not;
or did not know that he had transgressed a negative command:

yet he is guilty, and shall bear the iniquity;
be chargeable with guilt, and is liable to punishment, and must make an atonement and satisfaction for it; see ( Luke 12:48 ) .
