'Confess' in the Bible

when an individual becomes guilty with regard to one of these things he must confess how he has sinned,

Aaron is to lay his two hands on the head of the live goat and confess over it all the iniquities of the Israelites and all their transgressions in regard to all their sins, and thus he is to put them on the head of the goat and send it away into the wilderness by the hand of a man standing ready.

However, when they confess their iniquity and their ancestors' iniquity which they committed by trespassing against me, by which they also walked in hostility against me

then he must confess his sin that he has committed and must make full reparation, add one fifth to it, and give it to whomever he wronged.

When I refused to confess my sin, my whole body wasted away, while I groaned in pain all day long.

Then I confessed my sin; I no longer covered up my wrongdoing. I said, "I will confess my rebellious acts to the Lord." And then you forgave my sins. (Selah)

Yes, I confess my wrongdoing, and I am concerned about my sins.

However, you must confess that you have done wrong, and that you have rebelled against the Lord your God. You must confess that you have given yourself to foreign gods under every green tree, and have not obeyed my commands,' says the Lord.

Lord, we confess that we have been wicked. We confess that our ancestors have done wrong. We have indeed sinned against you.

But I will let a small number of them survive the sword, famine, and pestilence, so that they can confess all their abominable practices to the nations where they go. Then they will know that I am the Lord."
