Leviticus 5:15-17
Lexham English Bible

15 “When a person[a] displays infidelity[b] and he sins in an unintentional wrong in any of[c] Yahweh’s holy things, then[d] he shall bring his guilt offering to[e] Yahweh: a ram without defect from the flock[f] as a guilt offering by your valuation in silver shekels[g] according to the sanctuary shekel. 16 And he shall make restitution for what he sinned because of[h] a holy thing and shall add one-fifth of its value[i] onto it and shall give it to the priest. The priest[j] shall make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt offering, and he will be forgiven.

17 “If[k] a person[l] when he sins violates[m] one from all of Yahweh’s commands that should not be violated,[n] but[o] he did not know, then[p] he is guilty and he shall bear his guilt.
