Leviticus Chapter 5

Leviticus Chapter 5
1 Also if any have sinned, that is, if he
have heard the voice of an oath, and he
can be a witness, whether he hath seen
or known of it, if he do not utter it, he
shall bear his iniquity:
2 Either if one touch any unclean thing,
whether it be a carcass of an unclean
beast, or a carcass of unclean cattle, or a
carcass of unclean creeping things, and
is not aware of it, yet he is unclean, and
hath offended:
3 Either if he touch any uncleanness of
man (whatsoever uncleanness it be, that
he is defiled with) and is not aware of it,
and after cometh to the knowledge of it,
he hath sinned:
4 Either if any swear, and pronounce
with his lips to do evil, or to do good
(whatsoever it be that a man shall
pronounce with an oath) and it be hid
from him, and after knoweth that he hath
offended in one of these points, 5 When
he hath sinned in any of these things, then
he shall confess that he hath sinned
therein.
6 Therefore shall he bring his trespass
offering unto the Lord for his sin which
he hath committed, even a female from
the flock, be it a lamb or a she goat for a
sin offering, and the priest shall make an
atonement for him, concerning his sin.
7 But if he be not able to bring a sheep,
he shall bring for his trespass which he
hath committed, two turtledoves, or two
young pigeons unto the Lord, one for a
sin offering, and the other for a burnt
offering.
8 So he shall bring them unto the priest,
who shall offer the sin offering first, and
wring the neck of it asunder, but not
pluck it clean off.
9 After he shall sprinkle of the blood of
the sin offering upon the side of the altar,
and the rest of the blood shall be shed at
the foot of the altar: for it is a sin
offering.
10 Also he shall offer the second for a
burnt offering as the manner is: so shall
the priest make an atonement for him (for
his sin which he hath committed) and it
shall be forgiven him.
11 But if he be not able to bring two
turtledoves, or two young pigeons, then
he that hath sinned, shall bring for his
offering, the tenth part of an ephah of
fine flour for a sin offering, he shall put
none oil thereto, neither put any incense
thereon: for it is a sin offering.
12 Then shall he bring it to the priest,
and the priest shall take his handful of it
for the remembrance thereof, and burn it
upon the altar with the offerings of the
Lord made by fire: for it is a sin
offering.
13 So the priest shall make an atonement
for him, as touching his sin that he hath
committed in one of these points, and it
shall be forgiven him: and the remnant
shall be the priest’s, as the meat
offering. 14 And the Lord spake unto
Moses, saying,
15 If any person transgress and sin
through ignorance by taking away things
consecrated unto the Lord, he shall then
bring for his trespass offering unto the
Lord a ram without blemish out of the
flock, worth two shekels of silver by thy
estimation after the shekel of the
sanctuary, for a trespass offering. 16 So
he shall restore that wherein he hath
offended, in taking away of the holy
thing, and shall put the fifth part more
thereto, and give it unto the priest: so the
priest shall make an atonement for him
with the ram of the trespass offering, and
it shall be forgiven him.
17 Also if any sin and do against any of
the commandments of the Lord, which
ought not to be done, and know not and
sin and bear his iniquity, 18 Then shall
he bring a ram without blemish out of the
flock, in thy estimation worth two
shekels for a trespass offering unto the
priest: and the priest shall make an
atonement for him concerning his
ignorance wherein he erred, and was not
aware: so it shall be forgiven him.
19 This is the trespass offering for the
trespass committed against the Lord.
