Laws for Guilt Offerings

14 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 15 (A)“If anyone commits a breach of faith and sins unintentionally in any of the holy things of the Lord, (B)he shall bring to the Lord as his compensation, a ram without blemish out of the flock, valued[a] in silver shekels,[b] according to the (C)shekel of the sanctuary, for a guilt offering. 16 He shall also make restitution for what he has done amiss in the holy thing and (D)shall add a fifth to it and give it to the priest. (E)And the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt offering, and he shall be forgiven.

17 (F)“If anyone sins, doing any of the things that by the Lord's commandments ought not to be done, (G)though he did not know it, then realizes his guilt, he shall bear his iniquity. 18 (H)He shall bring to the priest a ram without blemish out of the flock, or its equivalent, for a guilt offering, and (I)the priest shall make atonement for him for the mistake that he made unintentionally, and he shall be forgiven. 19 It is a guilt offering; he has indeed incurred guilt before[c] the Lord.”

[d] The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “If anyone sins and (J)commits a breach of faith against the Lord by (K)deceiving his neighbor in (L)a matter of deposit or security, or through robbery, or (M)if he has oppressed his neighbor or (N)has found something lost and lied about it, (O)swearing falsely—in any of all the things that people do and sin thereby— if he has sinned and has realized his guilt and will restore (P)what he took by robbery or what he got by oppression or the deposit that was committed to him or the lost thing that he found or anything about which he has sworn falsely, he shall (Q)restore it in full and shall add a fifth to it, and give it to him to whom it belongs on the day he realizes his guilt. And he shall bring to the priest as his compensation to the Lord (R)a ram without blemish out of the flock, or its equivalent, for a guilt offering. (S)And the priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord, and he shall be forgiven for any of the things that one may do and thereby become guilty.”

The Guilt Offering

14 Then the Lord spoke to Moses: 15 “If someone offends(A) by sinning unintentionally(B) in regard to any of the Lord’s holy things,[a] he must bring his penalty for guilt to the Lord: an unblemished ram from the flock (based on your assessment of its value in silver shekels, according to the sanctuary shekel(C)) as a guilt offering. 16 He is to make restitution(D) for his sin regarding any holy(E) thing, adding a fifth of its value to it,(F) and give it to the priest. Then the priest will make atonement on his behalf with the ram of the guilt offering, and he will be forgiven.(G)

17 “If someone sins and without knowing it violates any of the Lord’s commands concerning anything prohibited, he is guilty, and he will bear his iniquity. 18 He must bring an unblemished ram from the flock according to your assessment of its value as a guilt offering to the priest. Then the priest will make atonement on his behalf for the error he has committed unintentionally, and he will be forgiven. 19 It is a guilt offering; he is indeed guilty before the Lord.”

The Lord spoke to Moses: “When someone sins and offends the Lord by deceiving(H) his neighbor in regard to a deposit,(I) a security,[b] or a robbery;(J) or defrauds(K) his neighbor; or finds something lost and lies about it;(L) or swears falsely(M) about any of the sinful things a person may do— once he has sinned(N) and acknowledged his guilt(O)—he must return what he stole or defrauded, or the deposit entrusted to him, or the lost item he found, or anything else about which he swore falsely. He will make full restitution for it and add a fifth of its value to it.(P) He is to pay it to its owner on the day he acknowledges his guilt.(Q) Then he is to bring his guilt offering(R) to the Lord: an unblemished(S) ram from the flock according to your assessment of its value as a guilt offering to the priest. In this way the priest will make atonement on his behalf before the Lord, and he will be forgiven for anything he may have done to incur guilt.”(T)
