If someone sins by hearing an oath and is a witness, whether they have seen it or know it, yet they do not report it, they will bear their guilt.

And if a soul sin, and hear the voice of swearing, and is a witness, whether he hath seen or known of it; if he do not utter it, then he shall bear his iniquity.

Verse 2

Or if someone touches anything unclean, such as the carcass of an unclean wild animal, livestock, or swarming creature, and it is hidden from them, they become unclean and guilty.

Verse 3

Or if someone touches human uncleanness, anything that makes a person unclean, and it is hidden from them but then they realize it, they become guilty.

Verse 4

Or if a soul swear, pronouncing with his lips to do evil, or to do good, whatsoever it be that a man shall pronounce with an oath, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty in one of these.

And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these things, that he shall confess that he hath sinned in that thing:

Verse 6

They shall bring their guilt offering to the LORD for the sin they have committed: a female sheep or goat from the flock as a sin offering. The priest shall make atonement for them concerning their sin.

And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD for his sin which he hath sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a kid of the goats, for a sin offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his sin.

Verse 7

If they cannot afford a sheep, they shall bring to the LORD as a guilt offering for their sin two turtledoves or two young pigeons: one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering.

And if he be not able to bring a lamb, then he shall bring for his trespass, which he hath committed, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, unto the LORD; one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering.

Verse 8

They shall bring them to the priest, who shall offer the one for the sin offering first. He shall wring its head from its neck without severing it completely.

And he shall bring them unto the priest, who shall offer that which is for the sin offering first, and wring off his head from his neck, but shall not divide it asunder:

Verse 9

Then he shall sprinkle some of the blood of the sin offering on the side of the altar, and the rest of the blood shall be drained out at the base of the altar; it is a sin offering.

And he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin offering upon the side of the altar; and the rest of the blood shall be wrung out at the bottom of the altar: it is a sin offering.

And he shall offer the second for a burnt offering, according to the manner: and the priest shall make an atonement for him for his sin which he hath sinned, and it shall be forgiven him.

Verse 11

If they cannot afford two turtledoves or two young pigeons, they shall bring as their offering for the sin they have committed a tenth of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering. They must not put oil or frankincense on it, for it is a sin offering.

But if he be not able to bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, then he that sinned shall bring for his offering the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering; he shall put no oil upon it, neither shall he put any frankincense thereon: for it is a sin offering.

Verse 12

They shall bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take a handful as its memorial portion and burn it on the altar on the fire offerings to the LORD; it is a sin offering.

Then shall he bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it, even a memorial thereof, and burn it on the altar, according to the offerings made by fire unto the LORD: it is a sin offering.

Verse 13

The priest shall make atonement for them for the sin they have committed in any of these matters, and they will be forgiven. The rest of the offering shall belong to the priest, like the grain offering.

And the priest shall make an atonement for him as touching his sin that he hath sinned in one of these, and it shall be forgiven him: and the remnant shall be the priest's, as a meat offering.

Verse 14

The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Verse 15

When someone commits a sin by unintentionally misusing the holy things of the LORD, they must bring their guilt offering to the LORD: a ram without blemish from the flock, according to your valuation in silver shekels, based on the shekel of the sanctuary, as a guilt offering.

If a soul commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance, in the holy things of the LORD; then he shall bring for his trespass unto the LORD a ram without blemish out of the flocks, with thy estimation by shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering:

Verse 18

They must bring to the priest a ram without blemish from the flock, valued according to your estimation, as a guilt offering. The priest will make atonement for them concerning the mistake they made unintentionally, though they were unaware of it, and they will be forgiven.

Verse 23

when they sin and become guilty, they must return what they have stolen, or taken by extortion, or what was entrusted to them, or the lost property they found.
