Knowingly or unknowingly / consciously or unconsciously

Knowingly or unknowingly / consciously or unconsciously

With awareness or without awareness. Intentionally or by mistake.

("In any case they say the intention is reversed, and one must distinguish between a son-in-law and a daughter-in-law, between knowingly or unknowingly" – Beit HaBechira LeMeiri, Yevamot, page 106b; and also: "And since who can understand mistakes? There is no man on earth who does good and does not sin knowingly or unknowingly; therefore the guilty one comes first to atone for what was not known to him" – Abravanel, Leviticus 14)
