THE MESSAGE
"If anyone sins by breaking any of the commandments of God which must not be broken, but without being aware of it at the time, the moment he does realize his guilt he is held responsible. He is to bring to the priest a ram without any defect, assessed at the value of the Compensation-Offering. "Thus the priest will make atonement for him for his error that he was unaware of and he's forgiven. It is a Compensation-Offering; he was surely guilty before God."

Contextual Overview
14 Then the Lord said to Moses, 15 "If one of you commits a sin by unintentionally defiling the Lord 's sacred property, you must bring a guilt offering to the Lord . The offering must be your own ram with no defects, or you may buy one of equal value with silver, as measured by the weight of the sanctuary shekel. 16 You must make restitution for the sacred property you have harmed by paying for the loss, plus an additional 20 percent. When you give the payment to the priest, he will purify you with the ram sacrificed as a guilt offering, making you right with the Lord , and you will be forgiven. 17 "Suppose you sin by violating one of the Lord 's commands. Even if you are unaware of what you have done, you are guilty and will be punished for your sin. 18 For a guilt offering, you must bring to the priest your own ram with no defects, or you may buy one of equal value. Through this process the priest will purify you from your unintentional sin, making you right with the Lord , and you will be forgiven. 19 This is a guilt offering, for you have been guilty of an offense against the Lord ."
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
a soul sin: This case is supposed to differ from the preceding, merely in that the person concerned was not certain whether he had or had not committed the trespass. It is therefore called by the Hebrews a doubtful trespass offering. Leviticus 5:1, Leviticus 4:2-4, Leviticus 4:13, Leviticus 4:22, Leviticus 4:27
though: Leviticus 5:15, Psalms 19:12, Luke 12:48, Romans 14:23
yet is he: Leviticus 5:1, Leviticus 5:2, Leviticus 4:2, Leviticus 4:13, Leviticus 4:27
Reciprocal: Exodus 28:43 - bear not iniquity Leviticus 7:18 - bear Numbers 5:6 - When Numbers 19:13 - purifieth Ezekiel 18:20 - bear
Gill's Notes on the Bible
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.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Though he wist it not - Ignorance of the Law, or even of the consequences of the act at the time that it was committed, was not to excuse him from the obligation to offer the sacrifice.
