Leviticus 5:17
If someone sins and violates any of the Lord’s commandments even though he was unaware, he is guilty and shall bear his punishment.
And if a soul sin, and commit any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the commandments of the Lord; though he wist it not, yet is he guilty, and shall bear his iniquity.
“If anyone sins, doing any of the things which the Lord has commanded not to be done, though he didn’t know it, he is still guilty, and shall bear his iniquity.
And if any one sin, and do any of the things which Jehovah hath commanded not to be done; though he knew it not, yet is he guilty, and shall bear his iniquity.
