Leviticus 5:14–6:7

The Restitution Offering

¹⁴Then the Lord spoke to Moses: ¹⁵“If someone offends ^uby sinning unintentionally ^vin regard to any of the Lord’s holy things, ^whe must bring his restitution offering to the Lord: an unblemished ram from the flock (based on your assessment of its value in silver shekels, according to the sanctuary shekel ^x) as a restitution offering. ¹⁶He must make restitution ^yfor his sin regarding any holy ^zthing, adding a fifth of its value to it, ^aand give it to the priest. Then the priest will make atonement on his behalf with the ram of the restitution offering, and he will be forgiven. ^b

¹⁷“If someone sins and without knowing it violates any of the Lord’s commands concerning anything prohibited, he bears the consequences of his guilt. ¹⁸He must bring an unblemished ram from the flock according to your assessment of its value as a restitution 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 restitution offering; he is indeed guilty before the Lord.”

6^cThe Lord spoke to Moses: ²“When someone sins and offends the Lord by deceiving ^dhis neighbor in regard to a deposit, ^ea security, ^for a robbery; ^gor defrauds ^hhis neighbor; ³or finds something lost and lies about it; ⁱor swears falsely ^jabout any of the sinful things a person may do— ⁴once he has sinned ^kand acknowledged his guilt ^l—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 must make full restitution for it and add a fifth of its value to it. ^mHe is to pay it to its owner on the day he acknowledges his guilt. ⁿ⁶Then he must bring his restitution offering ^oto the Lord: an unblemished ^pram from the flock according to your assessment of its value as a restitution 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.” ^q
