Leviticus 5:1-19, NLT
Leviticus 5
Sins Requiring a Sin Offering
1“If you are called to testify about something you have seen or that you know about, it is sinful to refuse to testify, and you will be punished for your sin.
2“Or suppose you unknowingly touch something that is ceremonially unclean, such as the carcass of an unclean animal. When you realize what you have done, you must admit your defilement and your guilt. This is true whether it is a wild animal, a domestic animal, or an animal that scurries along the ground.
3“Or suppose you unknowingly touch something that makes a person unclean. When you realize what you have done, you must admit your guilt.
4“Or suppose you make a foolish vow of any kind, whether its purpose is for good or for bad. When you realize its foolishness, you must admit your guilt.
5“When you become aware of your guilt in any of these ways, you must confess your sin.
7“But if you cannot afford to bring a sheep, you may bring to the Lord two turtledoves or two young pigeons as the penalty for your sin. One of the birds will be for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering.
11“If you cannot afford to bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons, you may bring two quarts*5:11 Hebrew 1/10 of an ephah [2.2 liters]. of choice flour for your sin offering. Since it is an offering for sin, you must not moisten it with olive oil or put any frankincense on it.
Procedures for the Guilt Offering
14Then the Lord said to Moses,
17“Suppose you sin by violating one of the Lord’s commands. Even if you are unaware of what you have done, you are guilty and will be punished for your sin.
