¹⁴Then^w Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, ¹⁵“When a person^x displays infidelity^y and he sins in an unintentional wrong in any of^z Yahweh’s holy things, then^a he shall bring his guilt offering to^b Yahweh: a ram without defect from the flock^c as a guilt offering by your valuation in silver shekels^d according to the sanctuary shekel. ¹⁶And he shall make restitution for what he sinned because of^e a holy thing and shall add one-fifth of its value^f onto it and shall give it to the priest. The priest^g shall make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt offering, and he will be forgiven.

¹⁷“If^h a personⁱ when he sins violates^j one from all of Yahweh’s commands that should not be violated,^k but^l he did not know, then^m he is guilty and he shall bear his guilt. ¹⁸He shall bringⁿ to the priest a ram without defect from the flock^o as a guilt offering by your valuation, and the priest shall make atonement for him because of his unintentional wrong (although^p he himself did not know), and he will be forgiven. ¹⁹It is a guilt offering; he certainly was guilty before Yahweh.”

Additional Laws for Burnt Offerings

6^a Then^b Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, ²“When a person^c displays infidelity^d against Yahweh and he deceives his fellow citizen regarding^e something entrusted or a pledge^f or stealing or he exploits his fellow citizen, ³or he finds lost property and lies about it and swears falsely^g in regard to^h any one of these things by which a personⁱ might commit sin, ⁴and when^j he sins and is guilty, then^k he shall bring back the things he had stolen^l or what he had extorted^m or something with which he had been entrustedⁿ or the lost property that he had found, ⁵or regarding^o anything about which he has sworn falsely,^p then^q he shall repay it according to^r its value and shall add one-fifth of its value to it—he must give it to whom it belongs^s on the day of his guilt offering. ⁶And he must bring as his guilt offering to Yahweh a ram without defect from the flock^t by your valuation^u as a guilt offering to the priest, ⁷and the priest shall make atonement for him before^v Yahweh, and he shall be forgiven anything^w from all that he might do by which he might incur guilt.”^x
