¹“‘If anyone sins , in that he hears a public adjuration to testify, he being a witness , whether he has seen or known , if he doesn’t report it , then he shall bear his iniquity .

²“‘Or if anyone touches any unclean thing , whether it is the carcass of an unclean animal , or the carcass of unclean livestock, or the carcass of unclean creeping things , and it is hidden from him , and he is unclean , then he shall be guilty.

³“‘Or if he touches the uncleanness of man , whatever his uncleanness is with which he is unclean , and it is hidden from him ; when he knows of it , then he shall be guilty.

⁴“‘Or if anyone swears rashly with his lips to do evil or to do good —whatever it is that a man might utter rashly with an oath , and it is hidden from him —when he knows of it , then he will be guilty of one of these .

⁵It shall be , when he is guilty of one of these, he shall confess that in which he has sinned ;

⁶and he shall bring his trespass offering to the LORD for his sin which he has sinned : a female from the flock , a lamb or a goat , for a sin offering ; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin .

⁷“‘If he can ’t afford a lamb , then he shall bring his trespass offering for that in which he has sinned , two turtledoves , or two young pigeons , to the LORD ; one for a sin offering , and the other for a burnt offering .

⁸He shall bring them to the priest , who shall first offer the one which is for the sin offering . He shall wring off its head from its neck , but shall not sever it completely.

⁹He shall sprinkle some of the blood of the sin offering on the side of the altar ; and the rest of the blood shall be drained out at the base of the altar . It is a sin offering .

¹⁰He shall offer the second for a burnt offering , according to the ordinance ; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin which he has sinned , and he shall be forgiven .

¹¹“‘But if he can ’t afford two turtledoves or two young pigeons , then he shall bring as his offering for that in which he has sinned , one tenth of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering . He shall put no oil on it , and he shall not put any frankincense on it , for it is a sin offering .[#5:11 1 ephah is about 22 litres or about 2/3 of a bushel]

¹²He shall bring it to the priest , and the priest shall take his handful of it as the memorial portion , and burn it on the altar , on the offerings of the LORD made by fire. It is a sin offering .

¹³The priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin that he has sinned in any of these things , and he will be forgiven ; and the rest shall be the priest ’s, as the meal offering .’”

¹⁴The LORD spoke to Moses , saying ,

¹⁵“If anyone commits a trespass , and sins unwittingly regarding the LORD ’s holy things , then he shall bring his trespass offering to the LORD : a ram without defect from the flock , according to your estimation in silver by shekels , according to the shekel of the sanctuary , for a trespass offering .[#5:15 A shekel is about 10 grams or about 0.35 ounces.]

¹⁶He shall make restitution for that which he has done wrong regarding the holy thing , and shall add a fifth part to it , and give it to the priest ; and the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering , and he will be forgiven .

¹⁷“If anyone sins , doing any of the things which the LORD has commanded not to be done , though he didn’t know it , he is still guilty , and shall bear his iniquity .

¹⁸He shall bring a ram without defect from of the flock , according to your estimation , for a trespass offering , to the priest ; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning the thing in which he sinned and didn’t know it , and he will be forgiven .

¹⁹It is a trespass offering . He is certainly guilty before the LORD .”
