Leviticus 5 (NET) New English Translation

1 "'When a person sins in that he hears a public curse against one who fails to testify and he is a witness (he either saw or knew what had happened) and he does not make it known, then he will bear his punishment for iniquity.
2 Or when there is a person who touches anything ceremonially unclean, whether the carcass of an unclean wild animal, or the carcass of an unclean domesticated animal, or the carcass of an unclean creeping thing, even if he did not realize it, but he himself has become unclean and is guilty;
3 or when he touches human uncleanness with regard to anything by which he can become unclean, even if he did not realize it, but he himself has later come to know it and is guilty;
4 or when a person swears an oath, speaking thoughtlessly with his lips, whether to do evil or to do good, with regard to anything which the individual might speak thoughtlessly in an oath, even if he did not realize it, but he himself has later come to know it and is guilty with regard to one of these oaths—
5 when an individual becomes guilty with regard to one of these things he must confess how he has sinned,
6 and he must bring his penalty for guilt to the LORD for his sin that he has committed, a female from the flock, whether a female sheep or a female goat, for a sin offering. So the priest will make atonement on his behalf for his sin.
7 "'If he cannot afford an animal from the flock, he must bring his penalty for guilt for his sin that he has committed, two turtledoves or two young pigeons, to the LORD, one for a sin offering and one for a burnt offering.
8 He must bring them to the priest and present first the one that is for a sin offering. The priest must pinch its head at the nape of its neck, but must not sever the head from the body.
9 Then he must sprinkle some of the blood of the sin offering on the wall of the altar, and the remainder of the blood must be squeezed out at the base of the altar— it is a sin offering.
10 The second bird he must make a burnt offering according to the standard regulation. So the priest will make atonement on behalf of this person for his sin which he has committed, and he will be forgiven.
11 "'If he cannot afford two turtledoves or two young pigeons, he must bring as his offering for his sin which he has committed a tenth of an ephah of choice wheat flour for a sin offering. He must not place olive oil on it and he must not put frankincense on it, because it is a sin offering.
12 He must bring it to the priest and the priest must scoop out from it a handful as its memorial portion and offer it up in smoke on the altar on top of the other gifts of the LORD— it is a sin offering.
13 So the priest will make atonement on his behalf for his sin which he has committed by doing one of these things, and he will be forgiven. The remainder of the offering will belong to the priest like the grain offering.'"
14 Then the LORD spoke to Moses:
15 "When a person commits a trespass and sins by straying unintentionally from the regulations about the Lord's holy things, then he must bring his penalty for guilt to the LORD, a flawless ram from the flock, convertible into silver shekels according to the standard of the sanctuary shekel, for a guilt offering.
16 And whatever holy thing he violated he must restore and must add one fifth to it and give it to the priest. So the priest will make atonement on his behalf with the guilt offering ram and he will be forgiven."
17 "If a person sins and violates any of the Lord's commandments which must not be violated (although he did not know it at the time, but later realizes he is guilty), then he will bear his punishment for iniquity
18 and must bring a flawless ram from the flock, convertible into silver shekels, for a guilt offering to the priest. So the priest will make atonement on his behalf for his error which he committed (although he himself had not known it) and he will be forgiven.
19 It is a guilt offering; he was surely guilty before the LORD."

7 And if H518 W-PART he be not H3808 NADV able to bring H5060 a lamb H7716 , then he shall bring H935 for his trespass H817 , which H834 RPRO he hath committed H2398 VQQ3MS , two H8147 ONUM turtledoves H8449 , or H176 CONJ two H8147 ONUM young H1121 pigeons H3123 , unto the LORD H3068 L-EDS ; one H259 MMS for a sin offering H2403 , and the other H259 for a burnt offering H5930 .
8 And he shall bring H935 them unto H413 PREP the priest H3548 , who shall offer H7126 that which H834 RPRO is for the sin offering H2403 first H7223 , and wring off H4454 his head H7218 CMS-3MS from his neck H6203 , but shall not H3808 W-NPAR divide it asunder H914 :
9 And he shall sprinkle H5137 of the blood H1818 of the sin offering H2403 upon H5921 PREP the side H7023 of the altar H4196 D-NMS ; and the rest H7604 of the blood H1818 shall be wrung out H4680 at H413 PREP the bottom H3247 of the altar H4196 D-NMS : it H1931 PPRO-3MS is a sin offering H2403 CFS .
10 And he shall offer H6213 VQY3MS the second H8145 D-ONUM for a burnt offering H5930 , according to the manner H4941 : and the priest H3548 shall make an atonement H3722 for H5921 PREP-3MS him for his sin H2403 which H834 RPRO he hath sinned H2398 VQQ3MS , and it shall be forgiven H5545 him .
11 But if H518 W-PART he be not H3808 NADV able to bring H5381 two H8147 turtledoves H8449 , or H176 CONJ two H8147 young H1121 CMP pigeons H3123 , then he that H834 RPRO sinned H2398 VQQ3MS shall bring H935 for his offering H7133 the tenth part H6224 of an ephah H374 of fine flour H5560 for a sin offering H2403 ; he shall put H7760 VQY3MS no H3808 NADV oil H8081 NMS upon H5921 PREP-3FS it , neither H3808 W-NADV shall he put H5414 VHFA any frankincense H3828 thereon H5921 PREP-3FS : for H3588 CONJ it H1931 is a sin offering H2403 CFS .

14 And the LORD H3068 EDS spoke H1696 W-VPY3MS unto H413 PREP Moses H4872 , saying H559 ,
15 If H3588 CONJ a soul H5315 GFS commit H4603 a trespass H4604 , and sin H2398 through ignorance H7684 , in H4480 PREP the holy things H6944 of the LORD H3068 EDS ; then he shall bring H935 for his trespass H817 unto the LORD H3068 L-EDS a ram H352 without blemish H8549 AMS out of H4480 PREP the flocks H6629 , with thy estimation H6187 by shekels H8255 of silver H3701 , after the shekel H8255 of the sanctuary H6944 , for a trespass offering H817 :
16 And he shall make amends H7999 VPY3MS for the harm that he hath done H834 RPRO in H4480 PREP the holy thing H6944 , and shall add H3254 the fifth part H2549 thereto H5921 PREP-3MS , and give H5414 W-VQQ3MS it unto the priest H3548 : and the priest H3548 shall make an atonement H3722 for H5921 PREP-3MS him with the ram H352 of the trespass offering H817 , and it shall be forgiven H5545 him .
17 And if H518 W-PART a soul H5315 GFS sin H2398 , and commit H6213 any H259 OFS of these things H3605 M-CMS which H834 RPRO are forbidden H3808 NADV to be done H6213 by the commandments H4687 of the LORD H3068 EDS ; though he knew H3045 VQQ3MS it not H3808 ADV , yet is he guilty H816 , and shall bear H5375 his iniquity H5771 .
