Leviticus 5
1 “And when a person sins, and has heard the voice of an oath, and he [is] witness, or has seen, or has known—if he does not declare [it], then he has borne his iniquity.
“‘If anyone sins ·errs (the standard goal)·, in that he sh'ma ·hear obey· the voice of adjuration, he being a witness, whether he has seen or known, if he does not report it, then he shall bear his depravity (moral evil).
2 Or when a person comes against anything unclean, or against a carcass of an unclean beast, or against a carcass of unclean livestock, or against a carcass of an unclean teeming creature, and it has been hidden from him, then he [is] unclean and guilty;
“‘Or if anyone touches any unclean thing, whether it is the carcass of an unclean animal, or the carcass of unclean livestock, or the carcass of unclean creeping things, and it is hidden from him, and he is unclean, then he shall be condemned guilty.
3 or when he comes against [the] uncleanness of man, even any of his uncleanness whereby he is unclean, and it has been hidden from him, and he has known, then he has been guilty.
“‘Or if he touches the uncleanness of man, whatever his uncleanness is with which he is unclean, and it is hidden from him; when he knows of it, then he shall be condemned guilty.
4 Or when a person swears, speaking wrongfully with the lips to do evil, or to do good, even anything which man speaks wrongfully with an oath, and it has been hid from him—when he has known then he has been guilty of one of these;
“‘Or if anyone swears rashly with his lips to do evil, or to do good, whatever it is that a man might utter rashly with an oath, and it is hidden from him; when he knows of it, then he shall be condemned guilty of one of these.
5 and it has been when he is guilty of one of these, that he has confessed concerning that which he has sinned,
It shall be, when he is condemned guilty of one of these, he shall yadah ·extend hands in confession· of that in which he has sinned ·deviated (from the standard goal)·:
6 and has brought in his guilt-offering to YHWH for his sin which he has sinned, a female out of the flock, a lamb, or a kid of the goats, for a sin-offering, and the priest has made atonement for him because of his sin.
and he shall bring his fault incurring guilt offering to Adonai for his habitual sin ·missing the mark· which he has sinned ·deviated (from the standard goal)·, a female from the flock, a lamb or a goat, for a habitual sin ·miss the mark· offering; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his habitual sin ·missing the mark·.
7 And if his hand does not reach to the sufficiency of a lamb, then he has brought in his guilt-offering—he who has sinned—two turtle-doves or two young pigeons to YHWH, one for a sin-offering and one for a burnt-offering;
“‘If he can’t afford a lamb, then he shall bring his fault incurring guilt offering for that in which he has sinned ·deviated (from the standard goal)·, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, to Adonai; one for a habitual sin ·miss the mark· offering, and the other for a burnt offering.
8 and he has brought them to the priest, and has brought near that which [is] for a sin-offering first, and has wrung off its head from its neck, and does not separate [it],
He shall bring them to the priest, who shall first offer the one which is for the habitual sin ·miss the mark· offering, and wring off its head from its neck, but shall not sever it completely.
9 and he has sprinkled of the blood of the sin-offering on the side of the altar, and that which is left of the blood is wrung out at the foundation of the altar; it [is] a sin-offering.
He shall sprinkle some of the blood of the habitual sin ·miss the mark· offering on the side of the altar; and the rest of the blood shall be drained out at the base of the altar. It is a habitual sin ·miss the mark· offering.
10 And he makes the second a burnt-offering, according to the ordinance, and the priest has made atonement for him because of his sin which he has sinned, and it has been forgiven him.
He shall offer the second for a burnt offering, according to the judgement; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his habitual sin ·missing the mark· which he has sinned ·deviated (from the standard goal)·, and he shall be forgiven.
11 And if his hand does not reach to two turtle-doves, or to two young pigeons, then he has brought in his offering—he who has sinned—a tenth of an ephah of flour for a sin-offering; he puts no oil on it, nor does he put frankincense on it, for it [is] a sin-offering,
“‘But if he can’t afford two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, then he shall bring his offering for that in which he has sinned ·deviated (from the standard goal)·, one tenth of an ephah [an omer; 2.3 q; 2.2 L] of fine flour for a habitual sin ·miss the mark· offering. He shall put no oil on it, and he shall not put any frankincense on it, for it is a habitual sin ·miss the mark· offering.
12 and he has brought it to the priest, and the priest has taken a handful from it of the fullness of his hand—its memorial—and has made incense on the altar, according to the fire-offerings of YHWH; it [is] a sin-offering.
He shall bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it as the memorial portion, and burn it on the altar, on the offerings of Adonai made by fire. It is a habitual sin ·miss the mark· offering.
13 And the priest has made atonement for him, for his sin which he has sinned against one of these, and it has been forgiven him, and [the remnant] has been for the priest, like the present.”
The priest shall make atonement for him concerning his habitual sin ·missing the mark· that he has sinned ·deviated (from the standard goal)· in any of these things, and he will be forgiven; and the rest shall be the priest’s, as the meal offering.’”
14 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,
15 “When a person commits a trespass, and has sinned through ignorance against the holy things of YHWH, then he has brought in his guilt-offering to YHWH, a ram, a perfect one, out of the flock, at your valuation [in] silver—shekels by the shekel of the holy place—for a guilt-offering.
“If anyone commits a violation, and sins ·errs (the standard goal)· that is an unintentional mistake sin ·error·, in the holy things of Adonai; then he shall bring his fault incurring guilt offering to Adonai, a ram without defect from the flock, according to your estimation in silver by shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary (the shekel is 0.4 oz; 11.34 g), for a fault incurring guilt offering.
16 And that which he has sinned against the holy thing he repays, and is adding to it its fifth, and has given it to the priest, and the priest makes atonement for him with the ram of the guilt-offering, and it has been forgiven him.
He shall make restitution for that sin ·err (from the standard goal)· which he has done wrong in 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 fault incurring guilt offering, and he will be forgiven.
17 And when any person sins, and has done [something against] one of all the commands of YHWH [regarding things] which are not to be done, and has not known, then he has been guilty, and has borne his iniquity.
“If anyone sins ·errs (the standard goal)· against any the mitzvot ·instructions· of Adonai concerning things which should not be done, though he didn’t know it, yet he is condemned guilty, and shall bear his depravity (moral evil).
18 Then he has brought in a ram, a perfect one, out of the flock, at your valuation, for a guilt-offering, to the priest; and the priest has made atonement for him, for his ignorance in which he has erred and he has not known, and it has been forgiven him;
He shall bring a ram without defect from of the flock, according to your estimation, for a fault incurring guilt offering, to the priest; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning the unintentional mistake sin ·error· in which he deviated in mental error, unintentional sin ·error·, and he will be forgiven.
19 it [is] a guilt-offering; he has certainly been guilty before YHWH.”
It is a fault incurring guilt offering. He is certainly condemned guilty condemned guilty before Adonai.”
