Leviticus 5:14-6:7

Christian Standard Bible

The Guilt Offering

¹⁴ Then the Lord spoke to Moses: ¹⁵ “If someone offends^(A) by sinning unintentionally^(B) in regard to any of the Lord’s holy things,^[a] he must bring his penalty for guilt to the Lord: an unblemished ram from the flock (based on your assessment of its value in silver shekels, according to the sanctuary shekel^(C)) as a guilt offering. ¹⁶ He is to make restitution^(D) for his sin regarding any holy^(E) thing, adding a fifth of its value to it,^(F) and give it to the priest. Then the priest will make atonement on his behalf with the ram of the guilt offering, and he will be forgiven.^(G)

¹⁷ “If someone sins and without knowing it violates any of the Lord’s commands concerning anything prohibited, he is guilty, and he will bear his iniquity. ¹⁸ He must bring an unblemished ram from the flock according to your assessment of its value as a guilt offering to the priest. Then the priest will make atonement on his behalf for the error he has committed unintentionally, and he will be forgiven. ¹⁹ It is a guilt offering; he is indeed guilty before the Lord.”

6 The Lord spoke to Moses: ² “When someone sins and offends the Lord by deceiving^(H) his neighbor in regard to a deposit,^(I) a security,^[b] or a robbery;^(J) or defrauds^(K) his neighbor; ³ or finds something lost and lies about it;^(L) or swears falsely^(M) about any of the sinful things a person may do— ⁴ once he has sinned^(N) and acknowledged his guilt^(O)—he must return what he stole or defrauded, or the deposit entrusted to him, or the lost item he found, ⁵ or anything else about which he swore falsely. He will make full restitution for it and add a fifth of its value to it.^(P) He is to pay it to its owner on the day he acknowledges his guilt.^{(Q) 6} Then he is to bring his guilt offering^(R) to the Lord: an unblemished^(S) ram from the flock according to your assessment of its value as a guilt offering to the priest. ⁷ In this way the priest will make atonement on his behalf before the Lord, and he will be forgiven for anything he may have done to incur guilt.”^(T)
