Lev 4:3 | MHM | STEP | v. 3 : If the high priest sinned by ignorance, he had to bring a young bull without blemish as a sin-offering ( v. 3 ). This was the same as the offering for the whole people ( v. 14 ), while other leaders or ordinary people could bring a goat ( v. 23, 28 ). The high priest’s sin was more serious because of his important role, so his offering had to be greater (Romans 2:21 ).
