5:1
And if a soul sin, and hear the voice of swearing, and is a witness,
whether he hath seen or known of it; if he do not utter it, then he shall
bear his iniquity.
(5:2-4) Things that make you unclean and guilty
(like touching a dead bug or cow, or "the uncleanness of man" (?!), or
swearing to do something good).
(5:2) "If a soul touch any unclean
thing, whether it be a carcase of an unclean beast, or a carcase
of unclean cattle, or the carcase of unclean creeping things, and
if it be hidden from him; he also shall be unclean, and guilty."
(5:3) "Or if he touch the uncleanness of man ... he shall be guilty."
(5:4) "Or if a soul swear, pronouncing with his lips to do evil, or to do good ...
he shall be guilty."
5:2
Or if a soul touch any unclean thing, whether it be a carcase of an unclean beast, or a carcase
of unclean cattle, or the carcase of unclean creeping things, and
if it be hidden from him; he also shall be unclean, and guilty.
5:3Or if he touch the uncleanness of man, whatsoever uncleanness it be that a man shall be defiled withal,
and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty.
5:4Or if a soul swear, pronouncing with his lips to do evil, or to do good,
whatsoever it be that a man shall pronounce with an oath, and it be hid from
him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty in one of these.
5:5
And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these things, that he
shall confess that he hath sinned in that thing:
5:6
And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD for his sin which
he hath sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a kid of the goats, for a
sin offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his
sin.
(5:6-9) If you touch an insect, dead animal, or "the uncleanness of man" or if you swear to do something good
or bad, kill a female lamb or goat for God (A female will do since it's a minor offense.)
and sprinkle the blood around. If you don't have a lamb to kill, then you can wring off the head of a pigeon or dove.
(5:6) "He shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD ...
a female from the flock, a lamb or a kid of the goats."
(5:7-8) "If he be not able to bring a lamb, then he shall bring ...
two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, unto the LORD ... and wring off his head."
(5:9) "And he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin offering upon the side of the altar; and the rest of
the blood shall be wrung out at the bottom of the altar: it is a sin offering."
(5:10, 16, 18) "The priest
shall make an atonement for him for his sin which he hath sinned, and it
shall be forgiven him." Does God desire animal sacrifices?
5:7
And if he be not able to bring a lamb, then he shall bring for his
trespass, which he hath committed, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, unto the LORD; one for
a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering.
5:8
And he shall bring them unto the priest, who shall offer that which is for
the sin offering first, and wring off his head from his neck,
but shall not divide it asunder:
5:9And he shall sprinkle of
the blood of the sin offering upon the side of the altar; and the rest of
the blood shall be wrung out at the bottom of the altar: it is a sin
offering.
5:10
And he shall offer the second for a burnt offering, according to the
manner: and the priest
shall make an atonement for him for his sin which he hath sinned, and it
shall be forgiven him.
5:11
But if he be not able to bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, then
he that sinned shall bring for his offering the tenth part of an ephah of
fine flour for a sin offering; he shall put no oil upon it, neither shall he
put any frankincense thereon: for it is a sin offering.
5:12
Then shall he bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his
handful of it, even a memorial thereof, and burn it on the altar, according
to the offerings made by fire unto the LORD: it is a sin offering.
5:13
And the priest shall make an atonement for him as touching his sin that he
hath sinned in one of these, and it shall be forgiven him: and the remnant
shall be the priest's, as a meat offering.
(5:14-18)
If you sin without knowing that you've done anything wrong, kill an unblemished ram for God.
(5:14-15) "The Lord spake unto Moses, saying, If a soul ... sin through ignorance ... then he shall bring for his
trespass unto the LORD a ram without blemish."
5:15If a soul commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance, in the holy things of the
LORD; then he shall bring for his trespass unto the LORD a ram without
blemish out of the flocks, with thy estimation by shekels of silver, after
the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering.
5:16
And he shall make amends for the harm that he hath done in the holy thing,
and shall add the fifth part thereto, and give it unto the priest: and the
priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering, and it shall be
forgiven him.
(5:16) "And the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering, and it shall be forgiven him."
(5:17) "If a soul sin ... though he wist it not, yet is he guilty, and shall bear his iniquity."
If you sin against your own will, you are still guilty.
(5:18) "And the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his ignorance wherein he erred and wist it not,
and it shall be forgiven him."
5:17And if a soul sin, and
commit any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the
commandments of the LORD; though he wist it not, yet is he guilty, and shall
bear his iniquity.
5:18
And he shall bring a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy
estimation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest: and the priest shall make an
atonement for him concerning his ignorance wherein he erred and wist it not,
and it shall be forgiven him.
5:19
It is a trespass offering: he hath certainly trespassed against the LORD.
