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]

World English Bible
14 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 15 “If anyone commits a trespass, and sins unwittingly regarding Yahweh’s holy things, then he shall bring his trespass offering to Yahweh: a ram without defect from the flock, according to your estimation in silver by shekels, according to the shekel[a] of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering. 16 He shall make restitution for that which he has done wrong regarding the holy thing, and shall add a fifth part to it, and give it to the priest; and the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering, and he will be forgiven.
17 “If anyone sins, doing any of the things which Yahweh has commanded not to be done, though he didn’t know it, he is still guilty, and shall bear his iniquity. 18 He shall bring a ram without defect from of the flock, according to your estimation, for a trespass offering, to the priest; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning the thing in which he sinned and didn’t know it, and he will be forgiven. 19 It is a trespass offering. He is certainly guilty before Yahweh.”
6 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “If anyone sins, and commits a trespass against Yahweh, and deals falsely with his neighbor in a matter of deposit, or of bargain, or of robbery, or has oppressed his neighbor, 3 or has found that which was lost, and lied about it, and swearing to a lie—in any of these things that a man sins in his actions— 4 then it shall be, if he has sinned, and is guilty, he shall restore that which he took by robbery, or the thing which he has gotten by oppression, or the deposit which was committed to him, or the lost thing which he found, 5 or any thing about which he has sworn falsely: he shall restore it in full, and shall add a fifth part more to it. He shall return it to him to whom it belongs in the day of his being found guilty. 6 He shall bring his trespass offering to Yahweh: a ram without defect from the flock, according to your estimation, for a trespass offering, to the priest. 7 The priest shall make atonement for him before Yahweh, and he will be forgiven concerning whatever he does to become guilty.”
