Laws for Guilt Offerings

Leviticus 5

14 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 15 u "If anyone commits a breach of faith and sins unintentionally in any of the holy things of the Lord, v he shall bring to the Lord as his compensation, a ram without blemish out of the flock, valued 1 in silver shekels, 2 according to the w shekel of the sanctuary, for a guilt offering. 16 He shall also make restitution for what he has done amiss in the holy thing and x shall add a fifth to it and give it to the priest. q And the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt offering, and he shall be forgiven.

17 y "If anyone sins, doing any of the things that by the Lord's commandments ought not to be done, z though he did not know it, then realizes his guilt, he shall bear his iniquity. 18 a He shall bring to the priest a ram without blemish out of the flock, or its equivalent for a guilt offering, and q the priest shall make atonement for him for the mistake that he made unintentionally, and he shall be forgiven. 19 It is a guilt offering; he has indeed incurred guilt before 3 the Lord."
