Tafsiran yang Mengutip untuk Bilangan 15:27

When one unintentionally violates any of these thirty-nine categories and is obligated to bring a sin offering, the offering is a goat or a lamb, as explained in the portion of Vayikra (Leviticus) when it states, "And if one soul sins unintentionally... he shall bring his offering, a female goat a year old for a sin offering" (Leviticus 4:27). However, if the individual who unintentionally transgressed is the only one in the entire nation who violated the prohibition of idolatry, the sin offering he is required to bring is a goat, as it is written in the portion of Shelach (Numbers) when it states, "And if any one soul shall sin unwittingly... he shall bring a she-goat of the first year for a sin offering" (Numbers 15:27). This is because the verse in Shelach specifically mentions unintentional transgressions. Therefore, it is explained that when referring to unintentional transgressions, it is as if the Torah states, "And if you unintentionally transgress and do not observe all these commandments" (Numbers 15:22). Our Sages have said that this mitzvah is equivalent to all the other mitzvot combined, as is explained in the Sifrei (a Midrashic work) on that portion.

The above is true with regard to all sins except accidental idol worship. If a court ruled that an action was not idol worship and the majority of the community performed the action, and later it was found that the court ruled wrongly, the court must bring a bull and a goat. This situation is referred to in Numbers 15:22-29. If an individual accidentally worshipped idols, he only brings a goat as a sin-offering. This situation is referred to in Numbers 15:27-29.

In the case of idolatry, the individual and the ruler and the anointed priest bring a goat – In the parasha Shlach Lecha, the sacrifice for idol worship, it is written “And if one person sin through error, then he shall offer a goat.” And it is written, “you shall have one law for him,” meaning that this sacrifice is for all of them [high priests, rulers, regular people].

As he should have brought a female lamb - if he was embarrassed. Because for all individuals' sin-offerings, if he wants [he can bring] a female lamb, and if he wants [he can bring] a female goat. With the exception of the sin-offering for idol worship, regarding which it is written "a she-goat in its first year" [Numbers 15:27] in the portion of "Send Agents".
