Some of the lowly ones that are among you who have rebelled against Hashem and said God go away from us and have distanced themselves from attachment to Hashem, blessed be he. That is who the distinguished man, the Adam, shall draw near. And the verse says an offering to Hashem meaning that the one who does this, the one that does kiruv, the one that actually helps people do teshuvah, this is considered to be as a korban korban to Hashem as an offering to Hashem. For he hereby brings a Jew who is assured of Hashem's holy planting back to its root. Such a person doesn't need a vowed or donated offering. He doesn't need to bring regular korbanot like the rest of the nation, even the righteous ones, but they're not doing kiruv, they still have to bring sacrifices for their unintentional sins, but the one that does kiruv that brought even a single soul to do teshuvah, he doesn't have to bring any sacrifices because he has achieved the same thing by drawing a distant Jew near to Hashem and therefore there's no situation which he would have to bring a korban chatat or asham which atones for unintentional sins because as the sages taught us, whoever brings merit to the public will not have a sin occur through him, meaning that Hashem will protect him from sinning even in error. And if someone does not a does not sin unintentionally, then there's no need for them to bring any sacrifice.
