¹⁷If any one sin through ignorance, and do one of those things which by the law of the Lord are forbidden, and being guilty of sin, understand his iniquity:

¹⁸He shall offer of the flocks a ram without blemish to the priest, according to the measure and estimation of the sin. And the priest shall pray for him, because he did it ignorantly: And it shall be forgiven him,

¹⁹Because by mistake he trespassed against the Lord.

Chapter 6

The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

²Whosoever shall sin, and despising the Lord, shall deny to his neighbour the thing delivered to his keeping, which was committed to his trust; or shall by force extort any thing, or commit oppression;

³Or shall find a thing lost, and denying it, shall also swear falsely, or shall do any other of the many things, wherein men are wont to sin:

⁴Being convicted of the offence, he shall restore

⁵All that he would have gotten by fraud, in the principal, and the fifth part besides, to the owner, whom he wronged.

⁶Moreover for his sin he shall offer a ram without blemish out of the flock: and shall give it to the priest, according to the estimation and measure of the offence.

⁷And he shall pray for him before the Lord: and he shall have forgiveness for every thing in doing of which he hath sinned.
