וְעַל זְדוֹן טֻמְאַת מִקְדָּשׁ וְקָדָשָׁיו, שָׂעִיר הַנַּעֲשֶׂה בִפְנִים וְיוֹם הַכִּפּוּרִים מְכַפְּרִין. וְעַל שְׁאָר עֲבֵרוֹת שֶׁבַּתּוֹרָה, הַקַּלּוֹת וְהַחֲמוּרוֹת, הַזְּדוֹנוֹת וְהַשְּׁגָגוֹת, הוֹדַע וְלֹא הוֹדַע, עֲשֵׂה וְלֹא תַעֲשֶׂה, כְּרֵתוֹת וּמִיתוֹת בֵּית דִּין, שָׂעִיר הַמִּשְׁתַּלֵּחַ מְכַפֵּר:

And for willful defiling of the sanctuary and its sanctified objects [(This is a generic teaching)], the kid presented within and Yom Kippur atone, [it being written (Leviticus 16:16): "and from their offenses for all of their sins." "offenses" (peshaim) — these are acts of rebellion.] And for the other transgressions of the Torah: light and stringent, willful and unwitting, known and unknown, positive commandment and negative commandment, krithoth and judicial death penalties, the sent-away kid atones. [The Gemara explains the entire Mishnah thus: whether light or stringent; whether he transgressed willfully or unwittingly; (Of those which he transgressed unwittingly,) whether their doubtful status was known to him or unknown to him (e.g., whether it was known or not known to him that it might be forbidden fat and he ate it). Which are the "light"? Positive and negative commandments. Which are the "stringent"? Those punishable by krithuth (cutting-off) and by judicial death penalty.]
