The offering for unwitting sin

Leviticus 4:1-21
If the anointed priest sins, bringing guilt on the people, he must bring to the Lord a young bull without defect as a sin offering for the sin he has committed. Priest  is to lay his had on its head and slaughter it before the Lord.
If the whole Israelite community sins unintentionally and does what is forbidden in any of the Lord's commands, even though the community is unaware of the matter, they are guilt. When they become aware of the sin they committed, the assembly must bring a your bull as a sin offering and present it before the tent of Meeting. The elders of the community are to lay their hands on the bull's head before the Lord.
The hide of the bull and all its flesh, as well as the head and legs, the inner parts and offal(內臟) - all the rest of the bull- he must take outside the camp to a place ceremonially clean, where the ashes are thrown, and burn it in a wood fire on the ash heap.
Made in order to obtain forgiveness. The relationship between this and the guilt-offering is not clear.
Generally speaking the sin-offering seems to have referred to offences against God.
Why?
Even priest and community may sin unintentionally. But the Lord care about the sin no matter you aware it or unaware it. It has to confess the sin and repent, for God is holy.
God is live he knows that people will sin so God shown us the way to erase our sin, the solution is through Jesus Christ.
How?
God needs us to be a man aware of the sin and repent it.
