Leviticus 5

1 “And when a person sins, and has heard the voice of an oath, and he is witness, or has seen, or has known—if he does not declare it, then he will bear his iniquity. 2 Or when a person comes against anything unclean, or against a carcass of an unclean beast, or against a carcass of unclean livestock, or against a carcass of an unclean teeming creature, and it has been hidden from him, then he will be unclean and guilty. 3 Or when he comes against the uncleanness of man, even any of his uncleanness whereby he is unclean, and it has been hidden from him, and he has known, then he will be guilty. 4 Or when a person swears, speaking wrongfully with the lips to do evil, or to do good, even anything which man speaks wrongfully with an oath, and it has been hid from him—when he has known then he will be guilty of one of these. 5 And it will be when he is guilty of one of these, that he will confess concerning that which he has sinned, 6 and will bring in his guilt-offering to YHWH for his sin which he has sinned, a female out of the flock, a lamb, or a kid of the goats, for a sin-offering, and the priest will make atonement for him because of his sin. 7 And if his hand does not reach to the sufficiency of a lamb, then he will bring in his guilt-offering—he who has sinned—two turtle-doves or two young pigeons to YHWH, one for a sin-offering and one for a burnt-offering. 8 And he will bring them to the priest, and will bring near that which is for a sin-offering first, and will wring off its head from its neck, and will not separate it, 9 and he will sprinkle of the blood of the sin-offering on the side of the altar, and that which is left of the blood will be wrung out at the foundation of the altar. It will be a sin-offering. 10 And he will make the second a burnt-offering, according to the ordinance, and the priest will make atonement for him because of his sin which he has sinned, and it will be forgiven him. 11 And if his hand does not reach to two turtle-doves, or to two young pigeons, then he will bring in his offering—he who has sinned—a tenth of an ephah of flour for a sin-offering. He will put no oil on it, nor does he put frankincense on it, for it will be a sin-offering, 12 and he will bring it to the priest, and the priest will take a handful from it of the fullness of his hand—its memorial—and will make incense on the altar, according to the fire-offerings of YHWH. It will be a sin-offering. 13 And the priest will make atonement for him, for his sin which he has sinned against one of these, and it will be forgiven him, and the remnant will be for the priest, like the present.” 14 And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying, 15 “When a person commits a trespass, and has sinned through ignorance against the holy things of YHWH, then he will bring in his guilt-offering to YHWH, a ram, a perfect one, out of the flock, at your valuation in silver—shekels by the shekel of the holy place—for a guilt-offering. 16 And that which he has sinned against the holy thing he repays, and is adding to it its fifth, and will give it to the priest, and the priest will make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt-offering, and it will be forgiven him. 17 And when any person sins, and has done something against one of all the commands of YHWH regarding things which are not to be done, and has not known, then he will be guilty, and will bear his iniquity. 18 Then he will bring in a ram, a perfect one, out of the flock, at your valuation, for a guilt-offering, to the priest. And the priest will make atonement for him, for his ignorance in which he has erred and he did not know, and it will be forgiven him. 19 It will be a guilt-offering. He will certainly be guilty before YHWH.”
