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
