Leviticus 6:3-11

3or if they find lost property and lie about it, or if they swear falsely about any such sin that people may commit—

4when they sin in any of these ways and realize their guilt, they must return what they have stolen or taken by extortion, or what was entrusted to them, or the lost property they found,

5or whatever it was they swore falsely about. They must make restitution in full, add a fifth of the value to it and give it all to the owner on the day they present their guilt offering.

6And as a penalty they must bring to the priest, that is, to the Lord, their guilt offering, a ram from the flock, one without defect and of the proper value.

7In this way the priest will make atonement for them before the Lord, and they will be forgiven for any of the things they did that made them guilty.”

8The Lord said to Moses:

9“Give Aaron and his sons this command: ‘These are the regulations for the burnt offering: The burnt offering is to remain on the altar hearth throughout the night, till morning, and the fire must be kept burning on the altar.

10The priest shall then put on his linen clothes, with linen undergarments next to his body, and shall remove the ashes of the burnt offering that the fire has consumed on the altar and place them beside the altar.

11Then he is to take off these clothes and put on others, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a place that is ceremonially clean.
