Chasidut do Kapłańska 5:17
וְאִם־נֶ֙פֶשׁ֙ כִּ֣י תֶֽחֱטָ֔א וְעָֽשְׂתָ֗ה אַחַת֙ מִכָּל־מִצְוֺ֣ת יְהוָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֖ר לֹ֣א תֵעָשֶׂ֑ינָה וְלֹֽא־יָדַ֥ע וְאָשֵׁ֖ם וְנָשָׂ֥א עֲוֺנֽוֹ׃
A jeżeliby kto zgrzeszył, a wykroczył przeciw któremu ze wszystkich przykazań Wiekuistego, wzbraniających cokolwiek czynić, a nie wiedział, i stał się winnym, i tak uniósł na sobie winę swą:
Kedushat Levi
Leviticus 5,17. “and if a person who has sinned by inadvertently committing one of the acts that ought not to be committed, and as a result has become guilty;” it is well known that the more a person is engaged in serving G’d the less he thinks of his own worth as an individual when compared to the Creator and His greatness. However, when a person performs a commandment of the Torah and at the same time reflects on the insignificance of the commandment in the overall scheme of things, he commits a wrong; this is the reason why this verse commences with the conjunctive letter ו which is hard to justify from the context of the paragraph. The meaning of the whole line is that as a result of such an attitude he becomes guilty, although the attitude was the direct product of his performing a Torah commandment. [The author clearly arrives at this exegesis as he was at a loss why the Torah had to tell us that a person who transgresses a negative commandment becomes guilty; who did not know this? Ed.]
