Core Text
ואם כל עדת ישראל ישגו ונעלם דבר מעיני הקהל

English: And if the whole congregation of Israel errs, and the matter is hidden from the eyes of the assembly.

Type of Learning

Communal chatat for a mistaken ruling — the Sanhedrin’s error followed by public action.

What Is Learned

When the community acts on a hidden (mistaken) ruling of the court regarding a lav, a special communal bull chatat is brought. This is the “par he’elem davar shel tzibbur.”
