Leviticus 5:1-13 - More Laws Regarding Sin Offerings

¹ When a soul hath sinned and heard the voice of cursing and is a witness: whether he hath seen or known of it, if he have not uttered it, he shall bear his sin. ² Either when a man toucheth any unclean thing: whether it be the carrion of an unclean beast or of unclean cattle or unclean worm and is not ware of it, he is also unclean and hath offended. ³ Either when he toucheth any uncleanness of man - whatsoever uncleanness it be that a man is defiled withal - and is not ware of it and afterward cometh to the knowledge of it, he is a trespasser. ⁴ Either when a soul sweareth: so that he pronounceth with his lips to do evil or to do good - whatsoever it be that a man pronounceth with an oath - and the thing be out of his mind and afterward cometh to the knowledge of it, then he hath offended in one of these.

⁵ Then when he hath sinned in one of these things, he shall confess that wherein that he hath sinned, ⁶ and shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD for his sin which he hath sinned. A female from the flock, whether it be an ewe or a she goat, for a sin offering. And the priest shall make an atonement for him for his sin.

⁷ But if he be not able to bring a sheep, then let him bring for his trespass which he hath sinned, two turtle doves or two young pigeons unto the LORD; one for a sin offering and another for a burnt offering. ⁸ And he shall bring them unto the priest, which shall offer the sin offering first and wring the neck asunder of it, but pluck it not clean off. ⁹ And let him sprinkle of the blood of the sin offering upon the side of the altar, and let the rest of the blood bleed upon the bottom of the altar, and then it is a sin offering. ¹⁰ And let him offer the second for a burnt offering as the manner is: and so shall the priest make an atonement for him for the sin which he hath sinned, and it shall be forgiven him.

¹¹ "'And yet if he be not able to bring two turtle doves or two young pigeons, then let him bring his offering for his sin: the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering, but put none oil thereto neither put any frankincense thereon, for it is a sin offering. ¹² And let him bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it and burn it upon the altar for a remembrance to be a sacrifice for the LORD: that is a sin offering. ¹³ And let the priest make an atonement for him for his sin - whatsoever of these he hath sinned - and it shall be forgiven. And the remnant shall be the priest's, as it is in the meat offering.'"
