「人若在耶和華的聖物上誤犯了罪，有了過犯，就要照你所估的，按聖所的舍客勒拿銀子，將贖愆祭牲－就是羊羣中一隻沒有殘疾的公綿羊－牽到耶和華面前為贖愆祭； ……「若有人犯罪，行了耶和華所吩咐不可行的甚麼事，他雖然不知道，還是有了罪，就要擔當他的罪孽； 利未記 5:15, 17
「若有人犯罪，干犯耶和華，在鄰舍交付他的物上，或是在交易上行了詭詐，或是搶奪人的財物，或是欺壓鄰舍， 或是在撿了遺失的物上行了詭詐，說謊起誓，在這一切的事上犯了甚麼罪； 他既犯了罪，有了過犯，就要歸還他所搶奪的，或是因欺壓所得的，或是人交付他的，或是人遺失他所撿的物， 或是他因甚麼物起了假誓，就要如數歸還，另外加上五分之一，在查出他有罪的日子要交還本主。 也要照你所估定的價，把贖愆祭牲－就是羊羣中一隻沒有殘疾的公綿羊－牽到耶和華面前，給祭司為贖愆祭。 利未記 6:2-6
‘If a person does not obey the Lord’s holy rules he is sinning. He must give a male sheep to the Lord. He must do this even if he did not know that he had sinned. It is a gift to the Lord to pay for his sins. It must be a perfect male animal. It must be worth the correct amount of money. ……A person might do wrong things against the Lord. But the person might not know that they were wrong. He is sinning. Leviticus 5:15, 17
‘A person may take something that is not his. Or he may find it and keep it. He may tell his friend that he has not taken it. He might not give him the correct price for something. But then he is not obeying the Lord. A person may speak words that are not true. That is a sin. A person may keep something that belongs to another person. He does not give it back. That is a wrong thing to do. He might find something. And then he might say that it is his. If it is not his, he is not obeying God. He has done something that is wrong. So, he must show that he is sorry. He must give back anything that is not his. He must give back anything that he has found. He must give back anything that he has kept. He must give it to the person to whom it belongs. He must give back everything and one fifth more. He must also, on the same day, give a gift to the Lord. He must bring a sheep to the priest. The sheep must be a perfect male animal. The sheep must be worth the right amount of money. Leviticus 6:2-6
