Leviticus 5
1 And if a
soul sin, and
hear the
voice of
swearing, and is a
witness, whether he hath
seen or
known of it; if he do not
utter it, then he shall
bear his
iniquity. 2 Or if a
soul touch any
unclean thing, whether it be a
carcase of an
unclean beast, or a
carcase of
unclean cattle, or the
carcase of
unclean creeping
things, and if it be
hidden from him; he also shall be
unclean, and
guilty.
3 Or if he
touch the
uncleanness of
man, whatsoever
uncleanness it be that a man shall be
defiled withal, and it be
hid from him; when he
knoweth of it, then he shall be
guilty.
4 Or if a
soul swear,
pronouncing with his
lips to do
evil, or to do
good, whatsoever it be that a
man shall
pronounce with an
oath, and it be
hid from him; when he
knoweth of it, then he shall be
guilty in
one of these.
5 And it shall be, when he shall be
guilty in
one of these things, that he shall
confess that he hath
sinned in that thing:
6 And he shall
bring his trespass
offering unto the
LORD for his
sin which he hath
sinned, a
female from the
flock, a
lamb or a
kid of the
goats, for a sin
offering; and the
priest shall make an
atonement for him concerning his
sin. 7 And if
he be not
able to
bring a
lamb, then he shall
bring for his
trespass, which he hath
committed,
two turtledoves, or
two young pigeons, unto the
LORD; one for a sin
offering, and the
other for a burnt
offering. 8 And he shall
bring them unto the
priest, who shall
offer that which is for the sin
offering first, and wring
off his
head from his
neck, but shall not divide it
asunder:
9 And he shall
sprinkle of the
blood of the sin
offering upon the
side of the
altar; and the
rest of the
blood shall be wrung
out at the
bottom of the
altar: it is a sin
offering. 10 And he shall
offer the
second for a burnt
offering, according to the
manner: and the
priest shall make an
atonement for him for his
sin which he hath
sinned, and it shall be
forgiven him.
11 But if
he be not able to
bring two turtledoves, or
two young pigeons, then he that
sinned shall
bring for his
offering the
tenth part of an
ephah of fine
flour for a sin
offering; he shall
put no
oil upon it, neither shall he
put any
frankincense thereon: for it is a sin
offering. 12 Then shall he
bring it to the
priest, and the
priest shall
take his
handful of it, even a
memorial thereof, and
burn it on the
altar, according to the offerings made by
fire unto the
LORD: it is a sin
offering. 13 And the
priest shall make an
atonement for him as touching his
sin that he hath
sinned in
one of these, and it shall be
forgiven him: and the remnant shall be the
priest's, as a meat
offering. 14 And the
LORD spake unto
Moses, saying,
15 If a
soul commit a
trespass, and
sin through
ignorance, in the holy
things of the
LORD; then he shall
bring for his
trespass unto the
LORD a
ram without
blemish out of the
flocks, with thy
estimation by
shekels of
silver, after the
shekel of the
sanctuary, for a trespass
offering: 16 And he shall make
amends for the
harm that he hath done in the holy
thing, and shall
add the fifth
part thereto, and
give it unto the
priest: and the
priest shall make an
atonement for him with the
ram of the trespass
offering, and it shall be
forgiven him.
17 And if a
soul sin, and
commit any of these things which are forbidden to be
done by the
commandments of the
LORD; though he
wist it not, yet is he
guilty, and shall
bear his
iniquity. 18 And he shall
bring a
ram without
blemish out of the
flock, with thy
estimation, for a trespass
offering, unto the
priest: and the
priest shall make an
atonement for him concerning his
ignorance wherein he
erred and
wist it not, and it shall be
forgiven him.
19 It is a trespass
offering: he hath
certainly trespassed against the
LORD.
