When a soul hath sinned and heard the voice of cursing and is a
witness: whether he hath seen or known of it if he have not uttered it,
he shall bear his sin. Either when a man toucheth any unclean thing:
whether it be the carrion of an unclean beast or of unclean cattle or
unclean worm and is not ware of it, he is also unclean and hath
offended. Either when he toucheth any uncleanness of man (whatsoever
uncleanness it be that a man is defiled with all) and is not ware of it
and afterward cometh to the knowledge of it, he is a trespasser. Either
when a soul sweareth: so that he pronounceth with his lips to do evil
or to do good (whatsoever it be that a man pronounceth with an oath)
and the thing be out of his mind and afterward cometh to the knowledge
of it, then he hath offended in one of these. Then when he hath sinned
in one of these things, he shall confess that wherein that he hath
sinned, and shall bring his trespassoffering unto the LORD for his sin
which he hath sinned. A female from the flock, whether it be an ewe
{lamb} or a she goat, for a sinoffering. And the priest shall make an
atonement for him for his sin. But if he be not able to bring a sheep,
then let him bring for his trespass which he hath sinned, two turtle
doves or two young pigeons unto the LORD, one for a sinoffering and
another for a burntoffering. And he shall bring them unto the priest,
which shall offer the sinoffering first and wring the neck asunder of
it, but pluck it not clean off. And let him sprinkle of the blood of
the sinoffering upon the side of the altar, and let the rest of the
blood bleed upon the bottom of the altar, and then it is a sinoffering.
And let him offer the second for a burntoffering as the manner is: and
so shall the priest make an atonement for him for the sin which he hath
sinned, and it shall be forgiven him. And yet if he be not able to
bring two turtle doves or two young pigeons, then let him bring his
offering for his sin: the tenth part of an Epha of fine flour for a
sinoffering, but put none oil thereto neither put any frankincense
thereon, for it is a sinoffering. And let him bring it to the priest,
and the priest shall take his handful of it and burn it upon the altar
for a remembrance to be a sacrifice for the LORD: that is a
sinoffering. And let the priest make an atonement for him for his sin
(whatsoever of these he hath sinned) and it shall be forgiven. And the
remnant shall be the priest's, as it is in the meatoffering. And the
LORD communed with Moses saying: when a soul trespasseth and sinneth
thorow ignorance in any of the holy things of the LORD, he shall bring
for his trespass unto the LORD, a ram without blemish out of the flock
valued at two sicles after the holy sicle, {[of the sanctuary,]} for a
trespassoffering. And he shall make amends for the harm that he hath
done in the holy thing, and put the fifth part more thereto, and give
it unto the priest. And the priest shall make an atonement for him with
