Laws About the Burnt Offering, the Grain Offering, and the Sin Offering

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: “If a person sins and (A)commits a trespass against the Lord by (B)lying[a] to his neighbor about (C)what was delivered to him for safekeeping, or about [b]a pledge, or about a robbery, or if he has (D)extorted from his neighbor, or if he (E)has found what was lost and lies concerning it, and (F)swears falsely—in any one of these things that a man may do in which he sins: then it shall be, because he has sinned and is guilty, that he shall [c]restore (G)what he has stolen, or the thing which he has extorted, or what was delivered to him for safekeeping, or the lost thing which he found, or all that about which he has sworn falsely. He shall (H)restore its full value, add one-fifth more to it, and give it to whomever it belongs, on the day of his trespass offering. And he shall bring his trespass offering to the Lord, (I)a ram without blemish from the flock, with your [d]valuation, as a trespass offering, to the priest.
