Mesorat%20hashas for Shevuot 25:13

אמר אביי לא קשיא הא רבי והא רבי יהודה

- He replied: I mean particularly that Rabbi agrees with R'Judah, but R'Judah does not agree with Rabbi; for it was taught: I might think that the Day of Atonement should atone for those who repent and for those who do not repent; and [although] an analogy [might be adduced to the contrary thus]: since sin-offering and guilt-offering atone, and the Day of Atonement atones, [we might therefore say,] just as the sin-offering and guilt-offering atone only for those who repent,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lev. V, 5: he shall confess that wherein he hath sinned (sin-offering) ; Num. V, 7: they shall confess their sin (guilt-offering) ; (cf. verse 8, and Lev.

Rashi: the majority of sin offerings and guilt offerings atone only for unwitting transgressions, but there are a few exceptions. lt');">²⁰</span>
