1 “ ‘If
anyone sins, in
that he hears
a public adjuration
to testify, he
being a witness,
whether he has
seen or known,
if he doesn’t
report it, then
he shall bear
his iniquity.
2 “ ‘Or
if anyone touches
any unclean thing,
whether it is
the carcass of
an unclean animal,
or the carcass
of unclean livestock,
or the carcass
of unclean
creeping things,
and it is
hidden from him,
and he is
unclean, then he
shall be guilty.
3 “ ‘Or
if he touches
the uncleanness of
man, whatever his
uncleanness is
with which he
is unclean, and
it is hidden
from him; when
he knows of
it, then he
shall be guilty.
4 “ ‘Or
if anyone swears
rashly with his
lips to do
evil or to
do good—whatever
it is that
a man might utter
rashly with an
oath, and it
is hidden from
him—when he
knows of it,
then he will
be guilty of one
of these.
5 It
shall be, when
he is guilty of
one of these, he
shall confess that
in which he
has sinned;
6 and
he shall bring
his trespass
offering to the
LORD for his
sin which he
has sinned: a
female from the
flock, a lamb
or a goat,
for a sin
offering; and the
priest shall make
atonement for him
concerning his sin.
7 “ ‘If
he can’t afford
a lamb, then
he shall bring
his trespass
offering for that
in which he
has sinned, two
turtledoves, or
two young pigeons,
to the LORD;
one for a
sin offering, and
the other for
a burnt offering.
8 He
shall bring them
to the priest,
who shall first
offer the one
which is for
the sin offering.
He shall wring
off its head
from its neck,
but shall not sever
it completely.
9 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.
10 He
shall offer the
second for a
burnt offering,
according to the
ordinance; and the
priest shall make
atonement for him
concerning his sin
which he has
sinned, and he
shall be forgiven.
11 “ ‘But
if he can’t
afford two
turtledoves or two
young pigeons,
then he shall
bring as his
offering for that
in which he
has sinned, one
tenth of
an ephah
of fine flour
for a sin
offering. He shall
put no oil
on it, and
he shall not
put any
frankincense 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
the memorial portion,
and burn it
on the altar,
on the offerings
of the LORD
made by fire. It
is a sin
offering.
13 The
priest shall make
atonement for him
concerning his sin
that he has
sinned in any
of these things,
and he will
be forgiven; and
the rest shall
be the priest’s,
as the meal
offering.’ ”
14 The
LORD spoke to
Moses, saying,
15 “If
anyone commits a
trespass, and sins
unwittingly regarding the
LORD’s holy things,
then he shall
bring his trespass
offering to the
LORD: a ram
without defect
from the flock,
according to your
estimation in
silver by shekels,
according to the
shekel
of the sanctuary,
for a trespass
offering.
16 He
shall make
restitution for
that which he
has done wrong
regarding the holy
thing, and shall
add a fifth
part to it,
and give it
to the priest;
and the priest
shall make
atonement for him
with the ram of
the trespass
offering, and he
will be forgiven.
17 “If
anyone sins, doing
any of the
things which the
LORD has commanded
not to be
done, though
he didn’t know it,
he is still
guilty, and shall
bear his iniquity.
18 He
shall bring a ram
without defect
from of the
flock, according
to your estimation,
for a trespass
offering, to the
priest; and the
priest shall make
atonement for him
concerning the
thing in which
he sinned
and didn’t know it,
and he will
be forgiven.
19 It
is a trespass
offering. He
is certainly guilty before the
LORD.”
