Laws for Guilt Offerings

(Leviticus 6:1–7, Leviticus 7:1–10)

Then the LORD said to Moses 15 “If someone acts unfaithfully and sins unintentionally against any of the LORD’s holy things, he must bring his guilt offering to the LORD: an unblemished ram from the flock, of proper value[fn] in silver shekels according to the sanctuary shekel;[fn] it is a guilt offering. 16 Regarding any holy thing he has harmed he must make restitution by adding a fifth of its value to it and giving it to the priest, [who] will make atonement on his behalf with the ram as a guilt offering, and he will be forgiven

17 

If someone sins and violates any of the LORD’s commandments even though he was unaware, he is guilty and shall bear his punishment. 18 He is to bring to the priest an unblemished ram of proper value from the flock as a guilt offering. Then the priest will make atonement on his behalf for the wrong he has committed in ignorance and he will be forgiven 19 It is a guilt offering; he was certainly guilty before the LORD.” 6
