Leviticus 5

Previous chapter Index Next chapter
1 If anyone sins that he heard the voice of the curse and was a witness, or saw, or knew, but did not announce, then he will bear the sin.
2 Or if he touches something unclean, or the corpse of an unclean beast, or a corpse of an unclean animal, or a corpse of an unclean thing, but does not know that, then it is unclean and guilty.
3 Or if one touches the uncleanness of man, whatever uncleanness, which is being defiled, and he did not know that, but afterwards he finds out, he is guilty.
4 Or if anyone foolishly swears to do anything evil or good, whatever business, in which people recklessly swear, and he did not know that, but after he finds out, he is guilty of that.
5 If he is guilty of any of these, and confesses what he has sinned,
6th Then he shall offer to the LORD his sin for which he has sinned, a trespass offering from sheep, a sheep or a goat, for sin, and the priest will cleanse him from his sin.

7th If he is not able to bring the sheep, then in the guilt of his sin, he shall bring to the Lord two turtledoves or two young pigeons, one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering;
8 Let him bring them to the priest, and [the priest] will first present that [of these birds], which is for sin, and break her head from her neck, but will not separate;
9 And he shall sprinkle this sin offering on the wall of the altar with the blood of this sin offering; and the rest of his blood shall be poured out to the base of the altar: it is a sin offering;
10 And he will use the other for a burnt offering according to the ordinance; And the priest will purge him from his sin, by which he has sinned, and it will be forgiven him.
eleven If he is not able to bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons, he will bring, for sinning, a tenth of an ephah of wheat flour for a sin offering; Let not pour oil on it, and let not the Lebanon put on it, for it is a sin offering;
12 And bring it to the priest, and the priest will take from her a full handful of memory and burn it on the altar as a sacrifice to the Lord: it is a sin offering;
13 And so the priest shall purge him from his sin, which he sinned in some of these cases, and it will be forgiven him; The remnant belongs to the priest, as a grain offering.

14 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying:
15 If anyone commits a crime and mistakenly sins against the initiate of the Lord, let him, for his guilt, bring to the Lord from the herd of sheep a ram without blemish, according to your estimation, silver sicles according to the shekel of the sacred, as a sacrifice of trespass;
16 For that holy thing against which he has sinned, let him reward and add a fifth to that, and he will give it to the priest, and the priest will purify him with the ram of the trespass offering, and it will be forgiven him.
17th If any man sins and does anything against the commandments of the Lord, which he should not do, and through ignorance he will be guilty and bear sin upon himself,
18 Let him bring a ram without blemish to the priest for a trespass offering, according to your estimation, and the priest will atone for his fault, in what he has transgressed through ignorance, and he will be forgiven.
19 This is the trespass offering, which he committed before the Lord.
