1“ ‘If anyone sins because they do not speak up when they hear a public charge to testify regarding something they have seen or learned about, they will be held responsible.
2“ ‘If anyone becomes aware that they are guilty—if they unwittingly touch anything ceremonially unclean (whether the carcass of an unclean animal, wild or domestic, or of any unclean creature that moves along the ground) and they are unaware that they have become unclean, but then they come to realize their guilt; 3or if they touch human uncleanness (anything that would make them unclean) even though they are unaware of it, but then they learn of it and realize their guilt; 4or if anyone thoughtlessly takes an oath to do anything, whether good or evil (in any matter one might carelessly swear about) even though they are unaware of it, but then they learn of it and realize their guilt— 5when anyone becomes aware that they are guilty in any of these matters, they must confess in what way they have sinned. 6As a penalty for the sin they have committed, they must bring to the Lord a female lamb or goat from the flock as a sin offering5:6 Or purification offering; here and throughout this chapter; and the priest shall make atonement for them for their sin.
7“ ‘Anyone who cannot afford a lamb is to bring two doves or two young pigeons to the Lord as a penalty for their sin—one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. 8They are to bring them to the priest, who shall first offer the one for the sin offering. He is to wring its head from its neck, not dividing it completely, 9and is to splash some of the blood of the sin offering against the side of the altar; the rest of the blood must be drained out at the base of the altar. It is a sin offering. 10The priest shall then offer the other as a burnt offering in the prescribed way and make atonement for them for the sin they have committed, and they will be forgiven.
11“ ‘If, however, they cannot afford two doves or two young pigeons, they are to bring as an offering for their sin a tenth of an ephah5:11 That is, probably about 3 1/2 pounds or about 1.6 kilograms of the finest flour for a sin offering. They must not put olive oil or incense on it, because it is a sin offering. 12They are to bring it to the priest, who shall take a handful of it as a memorial5:12 Or representative portion and burn it on the altar on top of the food offerings presented to the Lord. It is a sin offering. 13In this way the priest will make atonement for them for any of these sins they have committed, and they will be forgiven. The rest of the offering will belong to the priest, as in the case of the grain offering.’ ”
The Guilt Offering
14The Lord said to Moses: 15“When anyone is unfaithful to the Lord by sinning unintentionally in regard to any of the Lord’s holy things, they are to bring to the Lord as a penalty a ram from the flock, one without defect and of the proper value in silver, according to the sanctuary shekel.5:15 That is, about 2/5 ounce or about 12 grams It is a guilt offering. 16They must make restitution for what they have failed to do in regard to the holy things, pay an additional penalty of a fifth of its value and give it all to the priest. The priest will make atonement for them with the ram as a guilt offering, and they will be forgiven.
17“If anyone sins and does what is forbidden in any of the Lord’s commands, even though they do not know it, they are guilty and will be held responsible. 18They are to bring to the priest as a guilt offering a ram from the flock, one without defect and of the proper value. In this way the priest will make atonement for them for the wrong they have committed unintentionally, and they will be forgiven. 19It is a guilt offering; they have been guilty of5:19 Or offering; atonement has been made for their wrongdoing against the Lord.”
1「如果有人當庭作證，卻不肯把自己所知所見的說出來，就是犯罪，要擔負罪責。 2如果有人接觸了不潔淨之物，如不潔淨的野獸的屍體、家畜的屍體或爬蟲的屍體，即使沒有察覺也已不潔淨，是有罪的。 3如果有人無意中接觸了別人的不潔之物，當他意識到後，就有罪了。 4如果有人草率起誓，不論出於善意還是惡意，即使當初沒有察覺，後來才意識到，也是有罪的。 5如果有人意識到自己犯了以上任何一種罪，就必須認罪。 6為了贖過，他必須獻給耶和華一隻母綿羊或母山羊作贖罪祭。祭司要為他贖罪。
7「他若獻不起羊，就要獻給耶和華兩隻斑鳩或兩隻雛鴿，一隻作贖罪祭，一隻作燔祭。 8他要把牠們帶到祭司那裡，祭司要先用一隻鳥獻贖罪祭，要扭斷鳥脖子，但不可扯掉頭。 9要把一些鳥血灑在祭壇邊，再把剩下的血倒在壇腳。這是贖罪祭。 10祭司要依照獻燔祭的條例獻上另一隻鳥。這樣，祭司為他贖了罪，他就會得到赦免。
11「他若獻不起兩隻斑鳩或雛鴿，就要獻一公斤細麵粉作贖罪祭。細麵粉中不可澆油或加乳香，因為這是贖罪祭。 12他要把細麵粉帶到祭司那裡，祭司要從中取出一把作為象徵放在壇上，與獻給耶和華的火祭一起焚燒。這是贖罪祭。 13這樣，祭司為他贖了罪，他就會得到赦免。剩下的細麵粉要歸祭司，像獻素祭一樣。」
獻贖過祭的條例
14耶和華對摩西說： 15「如果有人無意中干犯了耶和華聖物的條例，為了贖過，他要從羊群中選一隻毫無殘疾的公綿羊獻給耶和華，或按聖所的秤獻上同等價值的銀子。這是贖過祭。 16他要賠償所造成的損失，並加賠五分之一，要把這些都交給祭司。祭司要為他獻上公綿羊作贖過祭，為他贖罪，他就會得到赦免。
17「如果有人觸犯耶和華的任何誡命，即使他不知道，也是犯罪，必須擔當罪責。 18他要從羊群中選一隻毫無殘疾的公綿羊，或把同等價值的銀子帶到祭司那裡作贖過祭。祭司要為他的無心之過贖罪，他就會得到赦免。 19這是贖過祭，因為他在耶和華面前確實有罪。」
