Torah

5 ‎(1) If a person incurs guilt—When one has heard a public imprecation but (although able to testify as having either seen or learned of the matter) has not given information and thus is subject to punishment; ‎(2) Or when a person touches any impure thing (be it the carcass of an impure beast or the carcass of impure cattle or the carcass of an impure creeping thing) and the fact has escaped notice, and then, being impure, that person realizes guilt; ‎(3) Or when one touches human impurity (any such impurity whereby someone becomes impure) and, though having known about it, the fact has escaped notice, but later that person realizes guilt; ‎(4) Or when a person utters an oath to bad or good purpose (whatever a human being may utter in an oath) and, though having known about it, the fact has escaped notice, but later that person realizes guilt in any of these matters— ‎(5) upon realizing guilt in any of these matters, one shall confess having sinned in that way. ‎(6) And one shall bring as a penalty to the LORD, for the sin of which one is guilty, a female from the flock, sheep or goat, as a sin offering; and the priest shall make expiation for the sin, on that person’s behalf. ‎(7) But if one’s means do not suffice for a sheep, that person shall bring to the LORD, as the penalty for that of which one is guilty, two turtledoves or two pigeons—one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. ‎(8) The offerer shall bring them to the priest, who shall offer first the bird for the sin offering, pinching its head at the nape without severing it. ‎(9) He shall sprinkle some of the blood of the sin offering on the side of the altar, and what remains of the blood shall be drained out at the base of the altar; it is a sin offering. ‎(10) And the second bird he shall prepare as a burnt offering, according to regulation. For the sin of which one is guilty, the priest shall thus make expiation on behalf of that person, who shall be forgiven. ‎(11) And if one’s means do not suffice for two turtledoves or two pigeons, that person shall bring as an offering for that of which one is guilty a tenth of an *ephah* of choice flour for a sin offering; one shall not add oil to it or lay frankincense on it, for it is a sin offering. ‎(12) The offerer shall bring it to the priest, and the priest shall scoop out of it a handful as a token portion and turn it into smoke on the altar, with the LORD’s offerings by fire; it is a sin offering. ‎(13) For whichever of these sins one is guilty, the priest shall thus make expiation on behalf of that person, who shall be forgiven. It shall belong to the priest, like the meal offering. ‎(14) And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying: ‎(15) When a person commits a trespass, being unwittingly remiss about any of the LORD’s sacred things: One shall bring as a penalty to the LORD a ram without blemish from the flock, convertible into payment in silver by the sanctuary weight, as a guilt offering. ‎(16) That person shall make restitution for the remission regarding the sacred things, adding a fifth part to it and giving it to the priest. The priest shall make expiation with the ram of the guilt offering on behalf of that person, who shall be forgiven. ‎(17) And a person who, without knowing it, sins in regard to any of the LORD’s commandments about things not to be done, and then realizes guilt: Such a person shall be subject to punishment. ‎(18) That person shall bring to the priest a ram without blemish from the flock, or the equivalent, as a guilt offering. For the error committed unwittingly, the priest shall make expiation on behalf of that person, who shall be forgiven. ‎(19) It is a guilt offering; guilt has been incurred before the LORD. ‎(20) the LORD spoke to Moses, saying: ‎(21) When a person sins and commits a trespass against the LORD —by dealing deceitfully with another in the matter of a deposit or a pledge, or through robbery, or by defrauding another, ‎(22) or by finding something lost and lying about it; if one swears falsely regarding any one of the various things that someone may do and sin thereby— ‎(23) when one has thus sinned and, realizing guilt, would restore either that which was gotten through robbery or fraud, or the entrusted deposit, or the lost thing that was found, ‎(24) or anything else about which one swore falsely, that person shall repay the principal amount and add a fifth part to it. One shall pay it to its owner upon realizing guilt. ‎(25) Then that person shall bring to the priest, as a penalty to the LORD, a ram without blemish from the flock, or the equivalent, as a guilt offering. ‎(26) The priest shall make expiation before the LORD on behalf of that person, who shall be forgiven for whatever was done to draw blame thereby.
