Ignorance Is Not Innocence
All commentators agree that this verse establishes a crucial principle: sinning unintentionally or unknowingly does not absolve a person of guilt before God. Scholars like Barnes and Calvin explain that even if you were unaware of the law or the sin at the time, you are still held accountable and require atonement. This underscores the objective reality of sin and God's perfect holiness.
