Leviticus 5:14–6:14

The Guilt Offering

¹⁴The Lord said to Moses: ¹⁵“When anyone is unfaithful to the Lord by sinning unintentionally^h in regard to any of the Lord’s holy things, they are to bring to the Lord as a penaltyⁱ a ram^j from the flock, one without defect and of the proper value in silver, according to the sanctuary shekel.^dk It is a guilt offering.^{l 16}They must make restitution^m for what they have failed to do in regard to the holy things, pay an additional penalty of a fifth of its valueⁿ and give it all to the priest. The priest will make atonement for them with the ram as a guilt offering, and they will be forgiven.

¹⁷“If anyone sins and does what is forbidden in any of the Lord’s commands, even though they do not know it,^o they are guilty and will be held responsible.^{p 18}They are to bring to the priest as a guilt offering^q a ram from the flock, one without defect and of the proper value. In this way the priest will make atonement for them for the wrong they have committed unintentionally, and they will be forgiven.^{r 19}It is a guilt offering; they have been guilty of^e wrongdoing against the Lord.”^s

6^aThe Lord said to Moses: ²“If anyone sins and is unfaithful to the Lord^t by deceiving a neighbor^u about something entrusted to them or left in their care^v or about something stolen, or if they cheat^w their neighbor, ³or if they find lost property and lie about it,^x or if they swear falsely^y about any such sin that people may commit—⁴when they sin in any of these ways and realize their guilt, they must return^z what they have stolen or taken by extortion, or what was entrusted to them, or the lost property they found, ⁵or whatever it was they swore falsely about. They must make restitution^a in full, add a fifth of the value to it and give it all to the owner on the day they present their guilt offering.^{b 6}And as a penalty they must bring to the priest, that is, to the Lord, their guilt offering,^c a ram from the flock, one without defect and of the proper value.^{d 7}In this way the priest will make atonement^e for them before the Lord, and they will be forgiven for any of the things they did that made them guilty.”

The Burnt Offering

⁸The Lord said to Moses: ⁹“Give Aaron and his sons this command: ‘These are the regulations for the burnt offering^f: The burnt offering is to remain on the altar hearth throughout the night, till morning, and the fire must be kept burning on the altar.^{g 10}The priest shall then put on his linen clothes,^h with linen undergarments next to his body,ⁱ and shall remove the ashes^j of the burnt offering that the fire has consumed on the altar and place them beside the altar. ¹¹Then he is to take off these clothes and put on others, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a place that is ceremonially clean.^{k 12}The fire on the altar must be kept burning; it must not go out. Every morning the priest is to add firewood^l and arrange the burnt offering on the fire and burn the fat^m of the fellowship offeringsⁿ on it. ¹³The fire must be kept burning on the altar continuously; it must not go out.
