Leviticus 5:19

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.

18 He is to bring to the priest an unblemished ram of proper value from the flock as a guilt offering. Then the priest will make atonement on his behalf for the wrong he has committed in ignorance, and he will be forgiven.

It is a guilt offering; he was certainly guilty before the LORD.”

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
