Cases Requiring Sin Offerings
5 Sin offerings are required in the following cases.
If you are officially summoned to give evidence in court and do not give information about something you have seen or heard, you must suffer the consequences.
2 If you unintentionally touch anything ritually unclean, such as a dead animal, you are unclean and guilty as soon as you realize what you have done.
3 If you unintentionally touch anything of human origin that is unclean, whatever it may be, you are guilty as soon as you realize what you have done.
4 If you make a careless vow, no matter what it is about, you are guilty as soon as you realize what you have done.
5 When you are guilty, you must confess the sin, 6 and as the penalty for your sin you must bring to the Lord a female sheep or goat as an offering. The priest shall offer the sacrifice for your sin.
7 If you cannot afford a sheep or a goat, you shall bring to the Lord as the payment for your sin two doves or two pigeons, one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. 8 You shall bring them to the priest, who will first offer the bird for the sin offering. He will break its neck without pulling off its head 9 and sprinkle some of its blood against the side of the altar. The rest of the blood will be drained out at the base of the altar. This is an offering to take away sin. 10 Then he shall offer the second bird as a burnt offering, according to the regulations. In this way the priest shall offer the sacrifice for your sin, and you will be forgiven.
11 If you cannot afford two doves or two pigeons, you shall bring two pounds of flour as a sin offering. You shall not put any olive oil or any incense on it, because it is a sin offering, not a grain offering. 12 You shall bring it to the priest, who will take a handful of it as a token that it has all been offered to the Lord, and he will burn it on the altar as a food offering. It is an offering to take away sin. 13 In this way the priest shall offer the sacrifice for your sin, and you will be forgiven. The rest of the flour belongs to the priest, just as in the case of a grain offering.
Repayment Offerings
14 The Lord gave the following regulations to Moses. 15 If any of you sin unintentionally by failing to hand over the payments that are sacred to the Lord, you shall bring as your repayment offering to the Lord a male sheep or goat without any defects. Its value is to be determined according to the official standard. 16 You must make the payments you have failed to hand over and must pay an additional 20 percent. You shall give it to the priest, and the priest shall offer the animal as a sacrifice for your sin, and you will be forgiven.
17 If any of you sin unintentionally by breaking any of the Lord's commands, you are guilty and must pay the penalty. 18 You must bring to the priest as a repayment offering a male sheep or goat without any defects. Its value is to be determined according to the official standard. The priest shall offer the sacrifice for the sin which you committed unintentionally, and you will be forgiven. 19 It is a repayment offering for the sin you committed against the Lord.
Leviticus 5
King James Version
5 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.
Levítico 5
Biblia del Jubileo
5 ¶ Y cuando alguna persona cometiere pecado, por haber sido llamado a testificar bajo juramento, y él fuere testigo que vio, o supo, si no lo denunciare, él llevará su iniquidad.
2 Asimismo la persona que hubiere tocado cualquier cosa inmunda, sea cuerpo muerto de bestia inmunda, o cuerpo muerto de animal inmundo, o cuerpo muerto de serpiente inmunda, bien que no lo supiere, será inmunda y será culpable.
3 O si tocare a hombre inmundo en cualquier inmundicia suya de que es inmundo, y no lo echare de ver; si después llegare a saberlo, será culpable.
4 También la persona que jurare, pronunciando con sus labios hacer mal o bien, en cualesquiera de las cosas que el hombre profiere con juramento, y él no lo supiere; si después lo entiende, será culpado en una de estas cosas.
5 Y será que cuando es culpable en alguna de estas cosas, confesará que cometió pecado;
6 y traerá por su culpa al SEÑOR por su pecado en que ha pecado, una hembra de los rebaños, una cordera o una cabra por su pecado; y el sacerdote lo reconciliará de su pecado.
7 ¶ Y si no le alcanzare para un cordero, traerá por la culpa de su pecado, dos tórtolas o dos palominos al SEÑOR; el uno por su pecado, y el otro para holocausto.
8 Y los traerá al sacerdote, el cual ofrecerá primero el que es como el pecado, y desunirá su cabeza de su cuello, mas no la apartará del todo;
9 y rociará de la sangre del pecado sobre la pared del altar; y lo que sobrare de la sangre lo exprimirá al cimiento del altar; es pecado.
10 Y del otro hará holocausto conforme a la ordenanza; y así lo reconciliará el sacerdote de su pecado en que pecó, y tendrá perdón.
11 Mas si su posibilidad no alcanzare para dos tórtolas, o dos palominos, el que pecó traerá por su ofrenda la décima parte de un efa de flor de harina por su pecado. No pondrá sobre ella aceite, ni sobre ella pondrá incienso, porque es pecado.
12 La traerá, pues, al sacerdote, y el sacerdote tomará de ella su puño lleno, en memoria suya, y hará perfume sobre el altar sobre las otras ofrendas encendidas al SEÑOR; es pecado.
13 Y así lo reconciliará el sacerdote de su pecado en que pecó en alguna de estas cosas, y tendrá perdón; y el sobrante será del sacerdote, como el presente.
14 ¶ Habló más el SEÑOR a Moisés, diciendo:
15 Cuando alguna persona hiciere prevaricación, y cometiere pecado por yerro en las cosas santificadas al SEÑOR, traerá por la expiación de su culpa al SEÑOR, un carnero sin tacha de los rebaños, conforme a tu estimación, de dos siclos de plata del siclo del santuario, por su culpa.
16 Y en lo que hubiere pecado referente a lo santificado, pagará, y añadirá a ello el quinto, y lo dará al sacerdote; y el sacerdote lo reconciliará con el carnero de la expiación de su culpa, y tendrá perdón.
17 Finalmente, si una persona pecare haciendo alguna de todas aquellas cosas que por mandamiento del SEÑOR no se han de hacer, sin hacerlo a sabiendas, es culpable, y llevará su iniquidad.
18 Traerá, pues, al sacerdote por expiación de su culpa, según tú lo estimes, un carnero sin tacha de los rebaños; y el sacerdote lo reconciliará de su yerro que cometió por ignorancia, y tendrá perdón.
19 Es por su culpa, y ciertamente es culpable contra el SEÑOR.
