Context of Leviticus 4:28

26He is to burn all its fat on the altar, just like the fat of the sacrifice of fellowship offerings. So the kohen should make atonement for him concerning his sin—and he will be forgiven. 27“When anyone of the common people sins unwittingly by doing one of Adonai’s mitzvot that are not to be done, then he is guilty. When his sin that he committed is made known to him, then he is to bring for his offering a goat, a female without blemish, for his sin that he committed. 29He is to lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and then slaughter it at the place of burnt offering. 30The kohen is to take some of its blood with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering. He is to pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

To be able to plead, when charged with sin, that we did it ignorantly, and through the surprise of temptation, will not bring us off, if we have no interest in that great plea, Christ hath died.
