This sacrifice is brought by someone who sins inadvertently.

When one is tempted in life, he might clearly know what he is doing may be 100% wrong. However, the Torah understands that G-d gave us an evil inclination which people may unfortunately succumb to (whereby becoming <\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: ArialMT, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">distant<\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: ArialMT, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">).

This may be much more clear to a blatantly violating individual. However, when someone sins inadvertently, there is much more going on underneath the surface. These ideas with which his thoughts are immersed in show where his true pleasure lies (an evil dimension). There is a subconscious connection to the sin that his mind needs to be purged of that allows him to \u201cslip-up\u201d with in the first place.
