Leviticus 5:6
His trespass - offering - But how comes confession and a sacrifice to be necessary for him that touched an unclean thing, when such persons were cleansed with simple washing, as appears from Leviticus 11:25, Leviticus 11:28, Leviticus 11:32, Leviticus 11:40, Leviticus 11:43, and Numbers 19:7-8, Numbers 19:10, Numbers 19:19? This place speaks of him that being so unclean did come into the tabernacle, as may be gathered by comparing this place with Numbers 19:13, which if any man did, knowing himself to be unclean, which was the case there, he was to be cut off for it; and if he did it ignorantly, which is the case here, he was upon discovery of it to offer this sacrifice.
