Leviticus 5:14-6:7
Lexham English Bible
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]

New American Standard Bible
14 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 15 “(A)If a person acts unfaithfully and sins (B)unintentionally against the Lord’s holy things, then he shall bring his (C)guilt offering to the Lord: (D)a ram without defect from the flock, according to your assessment in silver by shekels, in terms of the (E)shekel of the sanctuary, as a guilt offering. 16 And (F)he shall make restitution for that which he has sinned against the holy thing, and shall add to it a fifth part of it and give it to the priest. (G)The priest shall then make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt offering, and it will be forgiven him.
17 “Now if a person sins and does any of the things [a]which the Lord has commanded not to be done, (H)though he was unaware, he is still guilty and shall bear his punishment. 18 He is then to bring to the priest (I)a ram without defect from the flock, according to your assessment, as a guilt offering. So the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin which he committed (J)unintentionally and did not know it, and it will be forgiven him. 19 It is a guilt offering; he was certainly guilty before the Lord.”
Guilt Offering
6 [b]Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “(K)When a person sins and acts unfaithfully against the Lord, and disavows the rightful claim of his neighbor regarding a deposit or a security entrusted to him, or regarding robbery, or he has extorted from his neighbor, 3 or (L)has found what was lost and lied about it and sworn falsely, so that he sins regarding any of the things that people do; 4 then it shall be, when he sins and becomes guilty, that he shall (M)restore what he took by robbery or acquired by extortion, or the deposit which was [c]entrusted to him, or the lost property which he found, 5 or anything about which he swore falsely; (N)he shall make restitution for it [d]in full and add to it a fifth more. (O)He shall give it to the one to whom it belongs on the day he presents his guilt offering. 6 Then he shall bring to the priest his guilt offering to the Lord, (P)a ram without defect from the flock, according to your assessment, as a guilt offering, 7 and (Q)the priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord, and he will be forgiven for any one of the things which he may have done to incur guilt.”
