Sins Requiring a Guilt Offering

6Then the LORD said to Moses,H3068H1696H4872H559 2"Suppose one of you sins against your associate and is unfaithful to the LORD. Suppose you cheat in a deal involving a security deposit, or you steal or commit fraud,H5315H2398H4603H4604H3068H3584H5997H6487H8667H3027H1498H6231H5997 3or you find lost property and lie about it, or you lie while swearing to tell the truth, or you commit any other such sin.H4672H9H3584H7650H8267H259H120H6213H2398H2007 4If you have sinned in any of these ways, you are guilty. You must give back whatever you stole, or the money you took by extortion, or the security deposit, or the lost property you found,H2398H816H7725H1500H1497H6233H6231H6487H853H6485H9H4672 5or anything obtained by swearing falsely. You must make restitution by paying the full price plus an additional 20 percent to the person you have harmed. On the same day you must present a guilt offering.H7650H8267H7999H7218H3254H2549H3254H5414H3117H819 6As a guilt offering to the LORD, you must bring to the priest your own ram with no defects, or you may buy one of equal value.H935H817H3068H352H8549H6629H6187H817H3548 7Through this process, the priest will purify you before the LORD, making you right with him, and you will be forgiven for any of these sins you have committed."H3548H3722H6440H3068H5545H259H6213H819

8Then the LORD said to Moses,H3068H1696H4872H559 9"Give Aaron and his sons the following instructions regarding the burnt offering.

Each morning the priest will add fresh wood to the fire and arrange the burnt offering on it. He will then burn the fat of the peace offerings on it.H784H4196H3344H3518H3548H1197H6086H1242H5930H6186H6999H2459H8002 13Remember, the fire must be kept burning on the altar at all times.

If a bronze pot is used, it must be scoured and thoroughly rinsed with water.H2789H3627H1310H7665H1310H5178H3627H4838H7857H4325 29Any male from a priest's family may eat from this offering; it is most holy.H2145H3548H398H6944H6944 30But the offering for sin may not be eaten if its blood was brought into the Tabernacle as an offering for purification in the Holy Place.
