Leviticus 5:17–6:14

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. ¹⁸He 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. ¹⁹It is a guilt offering; he is indeed guilty before the Lord.”

6The Lord spoke to Moses: ²“When someone sins and offends the Lord by deceiving^s his neighbor in regard to a deposit,^t a security,^A or a robbery;^u or defrauds^v his neighbor; ³or finds something lost and lies about it;^w or swears falsely^x about any of the sinful things a person may do—⁴once he has sinned^y and acknowledged his guilt^z—he must return what he stole or defrauded, or the deposit entrusted to him, or the lost item he found, ⁵or anything else about which he swore falsely. He will make full restitution for it and add a fifth of its value to it.^aa He is to pay it to its owner on the day he acknowledges his guilt.^{ab 6}Then he is to bring his guilt offering^ac to the Lord: an unblemished^ad ram from the flock according to your assessment of its value as a guilt offering to the priest. ⁷In 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.”^ae

THE BURNT OFFERING

⁸The Lord spoke to Moses: ⁹“Command Aaron and his sons: This is the law of the burnt offering; the burnt offering itself must remain on the altar’s hearth all night until morning, while the fire of the altar is kept burning on it. ¹⁰The priest is to put on his linen robe and linen undergarments.^Baf He is to remove the ashes of the burnt offering the fire has consumed on the altar, and place them beside the altar. ¹¹Then he will take off his garments, put on other clothes,^ag and bring the ashes outside the camp to a ceremonially clean place. ¹²The fire on the altar is to be kept burning; it must not go out. Every morning the priest will burn wood on the fire. He is to arrange the burnt offering on the fire and burn the fat portions from the fellowship offerings^a on it. ¹³Fire must be kept burning on the altar continually; it must not go out.

THE GRAIN OFFERING

¹⁴“Now this is the law of the grain offering:^b Aaron’s sons will present it before the Lord in front of the altar.
