Leviticus 4:20

And he shall do with the bullock as he did with the bullock for a sin offering, so shall he do with this: and the priest shall make an atonement for them, and it shall be forgiven them.

Ver. 20. As he did with the bullock.] For even ignorance and infirmities are deadly sins, direct fruits of the flesh, Joh 3:6 and such as for which Christ laid down his life, even "for the errors (αγνοηματα) of the people." Heb 9:7
