`Now if a person
sins
after he hears
a 1public
aadjuration
to testify when he is a witness
, whether
he has seen
or
otherwise known
, if
he does not tell
it, then he will bear
his 2guilt
.
`Or if
a person
touches
aany
unclean
thing
, whether
a carcass
of an unclean
beast
or
the carcass
of unclean
cattle
or
a carcass
of unclean
swarming
things
, though it is hidden
from him and he is unclean
, then he will be guilty
.
`Or if
he touches
human
uncleanness
, of whatever
sort his uncleanness
may be with which
he becomes
unclean
, and it is hidden
from him, and then he comes to know
it, he will be guilty
.
`Or if
a person
aswears
thoughtlessly
with his lips
to do
evil
or
to do
good
, in whatever
matter a man
may speak
thoughtlessly
with an oath
, and it is hidden
from him, and then he comes to know
it, he will be guilty
in one
of these
.
`So it shall be when he becomes
guilty
in one
of these
, that he shall aconfess
that in which
he has sinned
.
`He shall also bring his guilt
offering
to the LORD
for his sin
which
he has 1committed
, aa female
from the flock
, a lamb
or
a 2goat
as a sin
offering
. So the priest
shall make
atonement
on his behalf
for his sin
.
`But if 1he cannot
afford
a lamb
, then he shall bring
to the LORD
his guilt
offering
for that in which
he has sinned
, two
turtledoves
or
two
young
pigeons
, aone
for a sin
offering
and the other
for a burnt
offering
.
`He shall bring them to the priest
, who shall offer
first
that which
is for the sin
offering
and shall nip
its head
at the front
of its neck
, but he ashall not sever
it.
`He shall also sprinkle some
of the blood
of the sin
offering
aon the side
of the altar
, while the rest
of the blood
shall be drained
out bat the base
of the altar
: it is a sin
offering
.
`The second he shall then prepare
as a burnt
offering
aaccording to the ordinance
. bSo the priest
shall make
atonement
on his behalf
for his sin
which
he has 1committed
, and it will be forgiven
him.
`But aif his 1means
are insufficient
for two
turtledoves
or
two
young
pigeons
, then for his offering
for that which
he has sinned
, he shall bring
the tenth
of an 2ephah
of fine
flour
for a sin
offering
; bhe shall not put
oil
on it or place
incense
on it, for it is a sin
offering
.
`He shall bring it to the priest
, and the priest
shall take
his handful
of it as its memorial
portion
and offer
it up in smoke
on the altar
, 1with the offerings
of the LORD
by fire
: it is a sin
offering
.
`So the priest shall make
atonement
for him concerning
his sin
which
he has 1committed
from aone
of these
, and it will be forgiven
him; then bthe rest shall become
the priest's
, like the grain offering
.' "
Then the LORD spoke
to Moses
, saying
,
" aIf a person
acts
unfaithfully
and sins
bunintentionally
against
the LORD'S
holy
things
, then he shall bring
his cguilt
offering
to the LORD
: da ram
without
defect
from the flock
, according to your valuation
in silver
by shekels
, in terms of the eshekel
of the sanctuary
, for a guilt
offering
.
" aHe shall make restitution
for that which
he has sinned
against
the holy
thing
, and shall add
to it a fifth
part
of it and give
it to the priest
. bThe priest
shall then make
atonement
for him with the ram
of the guilt
offering
, and it will be forgiven
him.
"Now if a person
sins
and does
any
of the things 1which
the LORD
has commanded
not to be done
, athough he was unaware
, still he is guilty
and shall bear
his punishment
.
"He is then to bring to the priest
aa ram
without
defect
from the flock
, according to your valuation
, for a guilt
offering
. So the priest
shall make
atonement
for him concerning
his error
in which
he sinned
bunintentionally
and did not know
it, and it will be forgiven
him.
"It is a guilt offering
; he was certainly
guilty
before the LORD
."
