Leviticus 5:2-13
2OrH176 ifH834 a personH5315 touchesH5060 1anyH3605 uncleanH2931 thingH1697, whetherH176 a carcassH5038 of an uncleanH2931 beastH2421 orH176 the carcassH5038 of uncleanH2931 cattleH929 orH176 a carcassH5038 of uncleanH2931 swarmingH8318 thingsH8318, though it is hiddenH5956 from him and he is uncleanH2931, then he will be guiltyH816. 3OrH176 ifH3588 he touchesH5060 humanH120 uncleannessH2932, of whateverH3605 sort his uncleannessH2932 may be with whichH834 he becomesH2930 uncleanH2930, and it is hiddenH5956 from him, and then he comes to knowH3045 it, he will be guiltyH816. 4OrH176 ifH3588 a personH5315 2swearsH7650 thoughtlesslyH981 with his lipsH8193 to doH7489 evilH7489 orH176 to doH3190 goodH3190, in whateverH3605H834 matter a manH120 may speakH981 thoughtlesslyH981 with an oathH7621, and it is hiddenH5956 from him, and then he comes to knowH3045 it, he will be guiltyH816 in oneH259 of theseH428. 5So it shall be whenH3588 he becomesH816 guiltyH816 in oneH259 of theseH428, that he shall 3confessH3034 that in whichH834 he has sinnedH2398. 6He shall also bringH935 his guiltH817 offeringH817 to the LordH3068 for his sinH2403 whichH834 he has 4committedH2398, 5a femaleH5347 from the flockH6629, a lambH3776 orH176 a 6goatH8166H5795 as a sinH2403 offeringH2403. So the priestH3548 shall makeH3722 atonementH3722 on his behalfH5921 for his sinH2403.
7‘But ifH518 7he cannotH3808 affordH5060H3027 a lambH7716, then he shall bringH935 to the LordH3068 his guiltH817 offeringH817 for that in whichH834 he has sinnedH2398, twoH8147 turtledovesH8449 orH176 twoH8147 youngH1121 pigeonsH3123, 8oneH259 for a sinH2403 offeringH2403 and the otherH259 for a burntH5930 offeringH5930. 8He shall bringH935 them to the priestH3548, who shall offerH7126 firstH7223 that whichH834 is for the sinH2403 offeringH2403 and shall nipH4454 its headH7218 at the frontH4136 of its neckH6203, but he 9shall not severH914 it. 9He shall also sprinkleH5137 someH4480 of the bloodH1818 of the sinH2403 offeringH2403 10on the sideH7023 of the altarH4196, while the restH7604 of the bloodH1818 shall be drainedH4680 out 11at the baseH3247 of the altarH4196: it is a sinH2403 offeringH2403. 10The secondH8145 he shall then prepareH6213 as a burntH5930 offeringH5930 12according to the ordinanceH4941. 13So the priestH3548 shall makeH3722 atonementH3722 on his behalfH5921 for his sinH2403 whichH834 he has 14committedH2398, and it will be forgivenH5545 him.
11‘But 15ifH518 his 16meansH3027 are insufficientH5381 for twoH8147 turtledovesH8449 orH176 twoH8147 youngH1121 pigeonsH3123, then for his offeringH7133 for that whichH834 he has sinnedH2398, he shall bringH935 the tenthH6224 of an 17ephahH374 of fineH5560 flourH5560 for a sinH2403 offeringH2403; 18he shall not putH7760 oilH8081 on it or placeH5414 incenseH3828 on it, for it is a sinH2403 offeringH2403. 12He shall bringH935 it to the priestH3548, and the priestH3548 shall takeH7061 his handfulH4393H7062 of it as its memorialH234 portionH234 and offerH6999 it up in smokeH6999 on the altarH4196, 19with the offeringsH801 of the LordH3068 by fireH801: it is a sinH2403 offeringH2403. 13So the priestH3548 shall makeH3722 atonementH3722 for him concerningH5921 his sinH2403 whichH834 he has 20committedH2398 from 21oneH259 of theseH428, and it will be forgivenH5545 him; then 22the rest shall becomeH1961 the priest’sH3548, like the grain offeringH4503.’”
