And so thou shalt do the seventh day of the month for every one that erreth, and for him that is simple: so shall ye reconcile the house.
And you need to do this same thing on the seventh day of every month, for anyone who messed up without meaning to, and for people who just didn't know any better. This is how you'll make things right with God's house.
Monthly reset for honest mistakes and innocent slip-ups, because God knows we're all learning.
