Leviticus 5:16-18
Modern English Version
16 And he shall repay the sin that he committed with regard to the holy thing and shall add a fifth to it and give it to the priest. The priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt offering, and he shall be forgiven.
17 If a person sins unintentionally and does any one of the things that by commandments of the Lord should not be done and he is found guilty, he shall bear his iniquity. 18 He shall bring to the priest a ram without blemish from the flock—or its equivalent value[a]—for a guilt offering. The priest shall make atonement for him concerning his error that he made unintentionally, and he shall be forgiven.

Leviticus 5:16-18
New International Version
16 They must make restitution(A) for what they have failed to do in regard to the holy things, pay an additional penalty of a fifth of its value(B) and give it all to the priest. The priest will make atonement for them with the ram as a guilt offering, and they will be forgiven.
17 “If anyone sins and does what is forbidden in any of the Lord’s commands, even though they do not know it,(C) they are guilty and will be held responsible.(D) 18 They are to bring to the priest as a guilt offering(E) a ram from the flock, one without defect and of the proper value. In this way the priest will make atonement for them for the wrong they have committed unintentionally, and they will be forgiven.(F)
