And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying -

Whensoever, any person, shall commit a trespass, and shall take away by mistake, from the holy things of Yahweh, then shall he bring in as his guilt-bearer unto Yahweh, a ram without defect out of the flock, with thine estimate in silver by shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a guilt-bearer:

that, moreover, which he took away from the sanctuary, shall he make good and the fifth part thereof, shall he add thereunto, and shall give it to the priest, - and, the priest, shall put a propitiatory-covering over him with the guilt-bearing ram and it shall be forgiven him.

And if any person when he shall sin, and do something, departing from any of the commandments of Yahweh, as to things which should not be done, - though he knew it not, shall so become guilty, and shall bear his iniquity,

then shall he bring in a ram without defect out of the flock by thine estimate as a guilt-bearer unto the priest, - and the priest shall put a propitiatory-covering over him, on account of his mistake which he made though he knew it not and it shall be forgiven him:

a guilt-bearer, it is, - he was, verily guilty against Yahweh.

And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying -

When any person, shall sin, and shall commit a trespass against Yahweh, - and shall withhold something of the truth from his neighbour in respect of a deposit, or a pledge or anything plundered, or shall use extortion with his neighbour;

or shall find something lost and shall withhold some-thing of the truth therein, and shall swear to a falsehood, - as regardeth a single thing of all that a son of earth may do, to commit sin thereby;

and so it shall come about that he shall commit sin and then become aware of his guilt, then shall he return the plunder which he had plundered, or the extortion which he had extorted, or the deposit that was deposited with him, - or the lost thing which he hath found:

or in anything as to which he hath been swearing to a falsehood, then shall he make it good in the principal thereof, and the fifth part thereof, shall he add thereunto, - to whomsoever it belongeth, to him, shall he give it in the day he becometh aware of his guilt;

but, his guilt-bearer, itself, shall he bring in unto Yahweh, - a ram without defect out of the flock by thine estimate as a guilt-bearer, unto the priest.

So shall the priest put a propitiatory-covering over him before Yahweh, and it shall be forgiven him, - on account of any one thing, of all which one might do, so as to become guilty therein.
