Any type of commandment in the Torah. And the Messiah, in religion, is brought by the king or the Bet Din (rabbinical court), if they ruled about that type of sin that was allowed, or the people followed the ruling of the Bet Din, as the par he'elem davar (bull for an erroneous ruling) for the Bet Din.

If a person unintentionally violated the sin of avodah zara (idol worship), they bring a female goat as a chatat (sin offering); a female goat has to be brought.

The par (bull) that they bring is an olah (burnt offering), for which a person, if he violated that commandment on purpose, which is the chatat of the nasi (king).

And the kohen (priest), who was anointed, if the kohen followed his own ruling, they have to bring a par (bull), or as the par kohen mashiach (bull of the anointed priest) for the kohen.

The individual, the king, and the anointed kohen would receive karet (spiritual excision). They would have to bring a korban (offering) chatat. Halacha (Jewish law) is as follows.

The korban chatat he brings would have to be either a female sheep or a goat. And if he violated it by mistake, unintentionally, that is the korban chatat, the regular standard, korban chatat.

Here, when it comes to the sin of idol worship, the king, if he does one of these averot (transgressions) unintentionally, a regular, ordinary individual, if he violates it unintentionally, he would have to bring a male goat as a chatat.

And if the Bet Din ruled that a certain type of idol worship was allowed, and the people followed that ruling, they bring a bull and a male goat, as korbanot, par le'olah ve-se'ir le-chatat (bull burnt offering; goat sin offering), and the male goat serves as the korban chatat.
