LEB - Leviticus - 5

5:1  “ ‘When a person sins in that he hears the utterance of a curse and he is a witness or he sees or he knows, if he does not make it known, then he shall bear his guilt.

5:2  Or if a person touches anything unclean, ⌞whether⌟ an unclean wild animal’s dead body or an unclean domestic animal’s dead body or an unclean swarmer’s dead body, but ⌞he is unaware of it⌟, he is unclean and he is guilty.

5:3  Or when he touches human uncleanness, ⌞namely⌟ any uncleanness of his by which he might become unclean, but ⌞he is unaware of it⌟, and he himself finds out, then he will be guilty.

5:4  Or when a person swears, speaking thoughtlessly with his lips, to do evil or to do good ⌞with regard to⌟ anything that ⌞the person⌟ in a sworn oath speaks thoughtlessly, but ⌞he is unaware of it⌟, he will be guilty ⌞in any of⌟ these.

5:5  When he becomes guilty ⌞in any of⌟ these, he shall confess what he has sinned ⌞regarding⌟ it,

5:6  and he shall bring his guilt offering to Yahweh for his sin that he has ⌞committed⌟: a female from the flock, a ewe-lamb or ⌞a she-goat⌟, as a sin offering, and the priest shall make atonement for him for his sin.

5:7  “ ‘If ⌞he cannot afford a sheep⌟, he shall bring as his guilt offering for what he sinned two turtledoves or two ⌞young doves⌟ for Yahweh, one for a sin offering and one for a burnt offering.

5:8  He shall bring them to the priest, and he shall present that which is for the sin offering first, and the priest shall wring its head off ⌞at the back of its neck⌟, but he must not sever it,

5:9  and he shall spatter ⌞some of⌟ the sin offering’s blood on the altar’s side, and the leftover blood must be drained out on the altar’s base; it is a sin offering.

5:10  The second bird he must prepare as a burnt offering according to the regulation, and the priest shall make atonement for him for his sin that he has ⌞committed⌟, and he shall be forgiven.

5:11  “ ‘But if ⌞he cannot afford⌟ two turtledoves or two ⌞young doves⌟, then, because he has sinned, he shall bring as his offering a tenth of an ephah of finely milled flour as a sin offering. He must not put oil on it, nor should he put frankincense on it, because it is a sin offering.

5:12  He shall bring it to the priest, and the priest ⌞shall take a handful of it⌟ for its token portion, and he shall turn it to smoke on the altar ⌞in addition to⌟ the offerings made by fire to Yahweh; it is a sin offering.

5:13  Thus the priest shall make atonement for him because of the sin that he has ⌞committed⌟ ⌞in any of these⌟, and he shall be forgiven. It shall be for the priest, like the grain offering.’ ”

5:14  Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

5:15  “When a person ⌞displays infidelity⌟ and he sins in an unintentional wrong ⌞in any of⌟ Yahweh’s holy things, then he shall bring his guilt offering to Yahweh: a ram without defect from the flock as a guilt offering by your valuation in silver shekels according to the sanctuary shekel.

5:16  And he shall make restitution for what he sinned ⌞because of⌟ a holy thing and shall add one-fifth of ⌞its value⌟ onto it and shall give it to the priest. The priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt offering, and he will be forgiven.

5:17  “If a person when he sins ⌞violates⌟ one from all of Yahweh’s commands that should not ⌞be violated⌟, but he did not know, then he is guilty and he shall bear his guilt.

5:18  He shall bring to the priest a ram without defect from the flock as a guilt offering by your valuation, and the priest shall make atonement for him because of his unintentional wrong (although he himself did not know), and he will be forgiven.

5:19  It is a guilt offering; he certainly was guilty before Yahweh.”
