Explanation preview

The LORD is speaking to Moses, and this verse sits within a section distinguishing unintentional sin from defiant sin. A person who errs without knowing it, whether native Israelite or foreigner, brings a year-old female goat, and the priest makes atonement before the LORD on that person's behalf.
