The table below presents two contradictory verses. Both verses talk about the number of sins required for the sin offering discussed in Nu14-22:27 The underlined words highlight the contradiction. One verse says all commandments have been violated while the other verse says this sin, if it was done inadvertently. Which is it? Is the Nu sin offering brought because of violation of one sin or many sins. Rashi simply resolves this using the 2 Aspects method. method: The sin offering described in Nu14-22:27 is idolatry. Numerically idolatry is a single sin. But impact-wise idolatry is a denial of all commandments, of the entire religion.
