Leviticus 5:1-13

LEB(i) 1 " 'When a person* sins in that* he hears the utterance of a curse and he is a witness or he sees or he knows, if he does not make it known, then* he shall bear his guilt. 2 Or if a person* touches anything unclean, whether* an unclean wild* animal's dead body or an unclean domestic animal's dead body or an unclean swarmer's dead body, but* he is unaware of it,* he is unclean and he is guilty. 3 Or when he touches human uncleanness, namely* any uncleanness of his by which he might become unclean, but* he is unaware of it,* and he himself finds out, then* he will be guilty. 4 Or when a person* swears, speaking thoughtlessly with his lips, to do evil or to do good with regard to* anything that the person* in a sworn oath speaks thoughtlessly, but* he is unaware of it,* he will be guilty in any of* these. 5 When he becomes guilty in any of* these, he shall confess* what he has sinned regarding* it, 6 and he shall bring his guilt offering to* Yahweh for his sin that he has committed:* a female from the flock,* a ewe-lamb or a she-goat,* as a sin offering, and the priest shall make atonement for him for* his sin. 7 " 'If* he cannot afford a sheep,* he shall bring as his guilt offering for what he sinned two turtledoves or two young doves* for Yahweh, one for a sin offering and one for a burnt offering. 8 He shall bring* them to the priest, and he shall present that which is for the sin offering first, and the priest* shall wring its head off at the back of its neck,* but* he must not sever it, 9 and he shall spatter some of* the sin offering's blood on the altar's side, and the leftover blood must be drained out on the altar's base; it is a sin offering. 10 The second* bird he must prepare as a burnt offering according to the regulation, and the priest shall make atonement for him for his sin that he has committed,* and he shall be forgiven. 11 " 'But* if he cannot afford* two turtledoves or two young doves,* then,* because he has sinned, he shall bring as his offering a tenth of an* ephah of finely milled flour as a sin offering. He must not put* oil on it, nor should he put frankincense on it, because it is a sin offering. 12 He shall bring* it to the priest, and the priest shall take a handful of it* for its token portion, and he shall turn it to smoke on the altar in addition to* the offerings made by fire to Yahweh; it is a sin offering. 13 Thus* the priest shall make atonement for him because of the sin that he has committed* in any of these,* and he shall be forgiven. It shall be* for the priest, like the grain offering.'"
