14 ¶ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

15 If any person transgress and sin through ignorance [a]by taking away things consecrated unto the Lord, he shall then bring for his trespass offering unto the Lord a ram without blemish out of the flock, worth two shekels of silver [b]by thy estimation after the shekel of the Sanctuary, for a trespass offering.

16 So he shall restore that wherein he hath offended, in taking away of the holy thing, and shall put the fifth part more thereto, and give it unto the Priest: so the Priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering, and it shall be forgiven him.

17 ¶ Also if any sin and (A)do against any of the Commandments of the Lord, which ought not to be done, and know not, and [c]sin and bear his iniquity,

18 Then shall he bring a ram without blemish out of the flock, in thy estimation worth (B)two shekels for a trespass offering unto the Priest: and the Priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his [d]ignorance wherein he erred, and was not ware: so it shall be forgiven him.

19 This is the trespass offering for the trespass committed against the Lord.

6 The offering for sins which are done willingly. 9 The law of the burnt offerings. 13 The fire must abide evermore upon the altar. 14 The law of the meat offering. 20 The offerings of Aaron, and his sons.

And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

If any sin and commit a trespass against the Lord, and deny unto his neighbor that which was taken him to keep, or that which was put to him[e]of trust, or doth by [f]robbery, or by violence oppress his neighbor,

Or hath found that which was lost, and denieth it, and sweareth falsely, (C)for any of these things that a man doeth, wherein he [g]sinneth:

When, I say, he thus sinneth and trespasseth, he shall then restore the robbery that he robbed, or the thing taken by violence which he took by force, or the thing which was delivered him to keep, or the lost thing which he found,

Or for whatsoever he hath sworn falsely, he shall both restore it in the whole (D)sum, and shall add the fifth part more thereto, and give it unto him to whom it pertaineth, the same day that he offereth for his trespass.

Also he shall bring for his trespass unto the Lord, a ram without blemish out of the (E)flock in thy estimation worth two shekels for a trespass offering unto the Priest.

And the Priest shall make an atonement for him before the Lord, and it shall be forgiven him, whatsoever thing he hath done, and trespassed therein.
