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.”
