MISHNAH: But about where there is no knowledge either at the start or at the end122Undetected infractions of the laws of purity. Mishnaiot 4–6 are reproduced in Sifra Aḥare Pereq 5(2–50)., the he-goats of the holidays and the he-goats of the Days of the New Moon123Num. 28:15,22,30; 29:4,16,19,22,25,28,31,34,38. These are public sacrifices; they atone for damage to public institutions. atone, the words of Rebbi Jehudah. Rebbi Simeon says, the he-goats of the holidays atone but not the he-goats of the Days of the New Moon. What do the he-goats of the Days of the New Moon atone for? For the pure person who ate impure124Impure sacrificial meat or cereal.. Rebbi Meїr says, the atoning of all he-goats is the same, about the impurity of the Sanctuary and its sancta.
Rebbi Simeon used to say, the he-goats of the holidays atone for the pure person who ate impure; those of the holidays atone for where there is no knowledge either at the start or at the end, and those of the Day of Atonement where there is no knowledge at the start but there is knowledge at the end125Mishnah 3..

Since it had been dedicated, it could not revert to profane status. May it be used as purification offering on the next holiday?? He told them, they may be brought. They asked him, since their atoning is not the same159As R. Simeon stated in Mishnah 5., how can they be brought one for the other? He told them, all of them serve to atone for the impurity of the Sanctuary and its sancta160The dedication prepares it to atone for impurities, to fulfill a biblical commandment. The particular instances of atonement are not on the mind of the person making the dedication; therefore, the he-goat may be used on all occasions where Scripture uses similar wording. It is noted in the next Halakhah that a dedication for sacrifice, whatever it will be, is sufficient..
