Leviticus 5:4-13

English Standard Version

⁴ or if anyone utters with his lips a ^(A)rash oath to do evil or to do good, any sort of rash oath that people ^(B)swear, and it is hidden from him, when he comes to know it, and he realizes his guilt in any of these; ⁵ when he realizes his guilt in any of these and ^(C)confesses the sin he has committed, ⁶ he shall bring to the Lord as his compensation^[a] for the sin that he has committed, a female from the flock, a lamb or a goat, for a sin offering. And the priest shall make atonement for him for his sin.

⁷ “But ^(D)if he cannot afford a lamb, then he shall bring to the Lord as his compensation for the sin that he has committed two ^(E)turtledoves or two pigeons,^[b] one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. ⁸ He shall bring them to the priest, who shall offer first the one for the sin offering. He shall ^(F)wring its head from its neck ^(G)but shall not sever it completely, ⁹ and he shall sprinkle some of the blood of the sin offering on the side of the altar, while ^(H)the rest of the blood shall be drained out ^(I)at the base of the altar; it is a sin offering. ¹⁰ Then he shall offer the second for a burnt offering according to the rule. ^(J)And the priest shall make atonement for him for the sin that he has committed, and he shall be forgiven.

¹¹ “But if he cannot afford two turtledoves or two pigeons, then he shall bring as his offering for the sin that he has committed a ^(K)tenth of an ephah^[c] of fine flour for a sin offering. He ^(L)shall put no oil on it and shall put no frankincense on it, for it is a sin offering. ¹² And he shall bring it to ^(M)the priest, and the priest shall take a handful of it as its memorial portion and ^(N)burn this on the altar, on the Lord's food offerings; it is a sin offering. ¹³ Thus ^(O)the priest shall make atonement for him for the sin which he has committed in any one of these things, and he shall be forgiven. And the remainder^[d] shall be for the priest, as in the grain offering.”
