1 [The LORD continued,] |Now, if you are a witness under oath and won't tell what you saw or what you know, you are sinning and will be punished. 2 |If you touch anything unclean-the unclean dead body of a wild or tame animal or the body of an unclean, swarming creature-and then ignore what you did, you are unclean and will be guilty. 3 |If you become unclean by touching human uncleanness of any kind and then ignore it (although you know what you did), you will be guilty. 4 |If you hastily take a vow about what you will or will not do (as some people do) and then ignore it (although you know what you said), you will be guilty. 5 |So if you are guilty of any of these sins, you must confess it. 6 Bring your guilt offering to the LORD for the sin you committed. It must be a female sheep or goat as an offering for sin. Then the priest will make peace with the LORD for what you did wrong. 7 |Now, if you cannot afford a sheep, you must bring to the LORD two mourning doves or two pigeons as a guilt offering for the sin you committed. One will be an offering for sin, the other a burnt offering. Leviticus 5:1-7, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
