Where there is knowledge at the beginning and at the end but forgetfulness between, a `sliding scales` sacrifice is brought. Where there is knowledge at the beginning but not at the end, the goat the blood of which is sprinkled within the veil on the Day of Atonement together with the Day of Atonement itself hold the sin in suspense until it become known to the sinner, and he brings the `sliding scale` sacrifice. |

Where there is no knowledge at the beginning but there is knowledge at the end, the goat sacrificed on the outer altar together with the Day of Atonement itself bring him forgiveness; for it is said: `[one He-goat for a sin-offering] beside the sin-offering of atonement`: [they are likened to one another so that we may deduce that] both atone for similar kinds of sin: just as the `inner` goat atones only for an unconscious sin where there was knowledge [at the beginning], so the `outer` goat atones only for an unconscious sin where there was knowledge [at the end] |
