Leviticus 5:14–6:7

For Unintentional Wrongdoing against the Lord’s Property

¹⁴The Lord spoke to Moses, ¹⁵“If any of you fail to do your duty by unintentionally doing something wrong with any of the Lord’s holy things, bring a guilt offering to the Lord. It must be a ram that has no defects or its value in silver weighed according to the official standards of the holy place. ¹⁶Pay for whatever holy things you used plus one-fifth more. Give it to the priest. So the priest will use the ram sacrificed for the guilt offering to make peace with the Lord for what you did wrong, and you will be forgiven. 

For Unintentionally Disobeying the Lord’s Commands

¹⁷“If any of you do wrong—even one thing forbidden by any of the Lord’s commands, but you didn’t know it—when you realize your guilt, you must be punished. ¹⁸You must bring the priest a ram that has no defects from the flock or its value in money for a guilt offering. The priest will make peace with the Lord for the wrong you did unintentionally (although you didn’t know what you did), and you will be forgiven. ¹⁹It is a guilt offering because you are certainly guilty as far as the Lord is concerned.” 

6TH CHAPTER^a

For Sins against the Lord’s People

¹The Lord spoke to Moses, ²“If any of you sin against the Lord by failing to do your duty, if you lie to your neighbor about something you were supposed to take care of or if you lie about something stolen or seized from your neighbor, you are sinning and will be guilty. ³If you find something that someone lost and lie about it under oath, or commit any other sin like this, ⁴you are sinning and will be guilty. Return what you stole or seized, what you were supposed to take care of, the lost item you found, ⁵or whatever it was that you swore falsely about. Pay it back in full plus one-fifth more. Give it back to its owner on the day you bring your guilt offering. ⁶Then bring the Lord your guilt offering, a ram that has no defects or its value in money. Bring it to the priest. ⁷So the priest will make peace with the Lord. Then you will be forgiven for whatever you did that made you guilty.”
