Leviticus 5
1 ¶ 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.
2 Or if a soul touch any unclean thing, whether it be a carcase
of an unclean beast, or a carcase of unclean cattle, or the
carcase of unclean creeping things, and if it be hidden from him;
he also shall be unclean, and guilty.
3 Or if he touch the uncleanness of man, whatsoever uncleanness
it be that a man shall be defiled withal, and it be hid from him;
when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty.
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.
5 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:
6 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.
7 ¶ 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.
8 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:
9 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.
10 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.
11 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.
12 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.
13 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.
14 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
15 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:
16 And he shall make amends for the harm that he hath done in the
holy thing, and shall add the fifth part thereto, and give it
unto the priest: and the priest shall make an atonement for him
with the ram of the trespass offering, and it shall be forgiven
him.
17 And if a soul sin, and commit any of these things which are
forbidden to be done by the commandments of the LORD; though he
wist it not, yet is he guilty, and shall bear his iniquity.
18 And he shall bring a ram without blemish out of the flock,
with thy estimation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest:
and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his
ignorance wherein he erred and wist it not, and it shall be
forgiven him.
19 It is a trespass offering: he hath certainly trespassed
against the LORD.
