Leviticus 5

The Law of Guilt Offerings

1 ‘Now if a person sins after he hears a ^{▼▼Lit voice of a curse}public ^border 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 punishment. 2 Or if a person touches ^cany unclean thing, whether a carcass of an unclean animal, 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. 3 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. 4 Or if a person ^dswears thoughtlessly with his lips to do evil or to do good, in whatever matter people speak thoughtlessly with an oath, and it is hidden from him, and then he comes to know it, he will be guilty of one of these things. 5 So it shall be when he becomes guilty of one of these things, that he shall ^econfess that in which he has sinned. 6 He shall also bring his guilt offering to the Lord for his sin which he has ^{▼▼Lit sinned}committed, ^ga female from the flock, a lamb or a ^{▼▼Lit female goat}goat as a sin offering. So the priest shall make atonement on his behalf for his sin.

7 ‘But if ^{▼▼Lit his hand does not reach enough for}he 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 doves, ^jone as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering. 8 He shall bring them to the priest, who shall first offer that which is for the sin offering, and shall pinch off its head at the front of its neck, but he ^kshall not sever it. 9 He shall also sprinkle some of the blood of the sin offering ^lon the side of the altar, while the rest of the blood shall be drained out ^mat the base of the altar: it is a sin offering. 10 The second he shall then prepare as a burnt offering ⁿaccording to the ordinance. ^oSo the priest shall make atonement on his behalf for his sin which he has ^{▼▼Lit sinned}committed, and it will be forgiven him.

11 ‘But ^qif his ^{▼▼Lit hand does not reach}means are insufficient for two turtledoves or two young doves, then for his offering for that which he has sinned, he shall bring the tenth of an ^{▼▼About 1 cubic foot or 0.03 cubic meters}ephah of fine flour as a sin offering; ^the shall not put oil on it or place incense on it, for it is a sin offering. 12 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, ^{▼▼Lit upon}with the offerings of the Lord by fire: it is a sin offering. 13 So the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin which he has ^{▼▼Lit sinned}committed from ^wone of these, and it will be forgiven him; then ^xthe rest shall become the priest’s, like the grain offering.’”

14 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 15 “ ^yIf a person acts unfaithfully and sins ^zunintentionally against the Lord’s holy things, then he shall bring his ^aaguilt offering to the Lord: ^aba ram without defect from the flock, according to your assessment in silver by shekels, in terms of the ^acshekel of the sanctuary, as a guilt offering. 16 And ^adhe 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. ^aeThe priest shall then make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt offering, and it will be forgiven him.

17 “Now if a person sins and does any of the things ^{▼▼Lit the commands of the Lord which are}which the Lord has commanded not to be done, ^agthough he was unaware, he is still guilty and shall bear his punishment. 18 He is then to bring to the priest ^aha ram without defect from the flock, according to your assessment, as a guilt offering. So the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin which he committed ^aiunintentionally and did not know it, and it will be forgiven him. 19 It is a guilt offering; he was certainly guilty before the Lord.”
