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.^d^k It is a guilt offering.^l ¹⁶They 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 ¹⁸They 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 ¹⁹It is a guilt offering; they have been guilty of^e wrongdoing against the Lord.”^s
