Leviticus 5:14-6:7
International Standard Version
Offerings for Inadvertent Sins
14 The Lord told Moses, 15 “When a person commits a truly treacherous act and sins inadvertently concerning the sacred things of the Lord, then he is to bring a trespass offering to the Lord from the flock as compensation for his guilt. It is to be a ram without defect, estimated as to its value in silver shekels, according to the sanctuary shekel. 16 He is to compensate for whatever sin he had committed concerning the sacred things of the Lord, add a fifth part to it, and give it to the priest. The priest is to make atonement for him with the ram as a sin offering and he’ll be forgiven.
17 “If a person sins and does what the Lord commanded is not to be done, and if he didn’t know that he had sinned, then he will be guilty nevertheless.[a] 18 He is to bring from the flock to the priest a ram without defect, estimated as to its value in silver shekels, as a guilt offering. Then the priest is to make atonement for him concerning his inadvertent act that he committed through ignorance, and it will be forgiven him. 19 It’s a sin offering for his guilt in the Lord’s presence.”
Restitution Offerings
6 [b]The Lord told Moses, 2 “A person sins against the Lord by acting treacherously toward his neighbor regarding something entrusted to his care, regarding security for a loan, robbery, if he has oppressed his neighbor, 3 if he has found something that had been lost and then lied about it, or if he makes a false oath about any of these things, thus committing a sin with respect to these things. 4 If that person has sinned and has been found guilty, then he is to return the stolen thing that he took or obtained by oppression, or the security that had been entrusted to him, or the lost thing that he had found, 5 or the thing about which he had given a false oath. He is to restore it in full, add a fifth to it, then give it to whom it belongs the very day he’s found guilty. 6 Now as to his guilt offering, he is to bring to the Lord a ram without defect from the flock, estimated as to its value, to the priest. 7 Then the priest is to make atonement for him in the Lord’s presence, and it will be forgiven him regarding whatever he did.”

Laws for Guilt Offerings
14 Then[a] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 15 “When a person[b] displays infidelity[c] and he sins in an unintentional wrong in any of[d] Yahweh’s holy things, then[e] he shall bring his guilt offering to[f] Yahweh: a ram without defect from the flock[g] as a guilt offering by your valuation in silver shekels[h] according to the sanctuary shekel. 16 And he shall make restitution for what he sinned because of[i] a holy thing and shall add one-fifth of its value[j] onto it and shall give it to the priest. The priest[k] shall make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt offering, and he will be forgiven.
17 “If[l] a person[m] when he sins violates[n] one from all of Yahweh’s commands that should not be violated,[o] but[p] he did not know, then[q] he is guilty and he shall bear his guilt. 18 He shall bring[r] to the priest a ram without defect from the flock[s] as a guilt offering by your valuation, and the priest shall make atonement for him because of his unintentional wrong (although[t] he himself did not know), and he will be forgiven. 19 It is a guilt offering; he certainly was guilty before Yahweh.”
Additional Laws for Burnt Offerings
6 [u] Then[v] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “When a person[w] displays infidelity[x] against Yahweh and he deceives his fellow citizen regarding[y] something entrusted or a pledge[z] or stealing or he exploits his fellow citizen, 3 or he finds lost property and lies about it and swears falsely[aa] in regard to[ab] any one of these things by which a person[ac] might commit sin, 4 and when[ad] he sins and is guilty, then[ae] he shall bring back the things he had stolen[af] or what he had extorted[ag] or something with which he had been entrusted[ah] or the lost property that he had found, 5 or regarding[ai] anything about which he has sworn falsely,[aj] then[ak] he shall repay it according to[al] its value and shall add one-fifth of its value to it—he must give it to whom it belongs[am] on the day of his guilt offering. 6 And he must bring as his guilt offering to Yahweh a ram without defect from the flock[an] by your valuation[ao] as a guilt offering to the priest, 7 and the priest shall make atonement for him before[ap] Yahweh, and he shall be forgiven anything[aq] from all that he might do by which he might incur guilt.”[ar]
