In order to for an action to be, "considered deliberate," it must have been done with the: knowledge that it was wrong. And with the——intention of doing the "action," and of his own free will. If he did not know the action was forbidden. Or if a mistake of fact concerning his circumstances led him to believe that he was permitted to take that action in that situation, he is considered to have done the action beshogeg (Hebrew: בְּשׁוֹגֵג), "not on purpose." If he was forced to do the action, then it was done beones (Hebrew: בְּאֹנֶס).
