Laws for Guilt Offerings

14 Then[a] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 15 “When a person[b] displays infidelity[c] and he sins in an unintentional wrong in any of[d] Yahweh’s holy things, then[e] he shall bring his guilt offering to[f] Yahweh: a ram without defect from the flock[g] as a guilt offering by your valuation in silver shekels[h] according to the sanctuary shekel. 16 And he shall make restitution for what he sinned because of[i] a holy thing and shall add one-fifth of its value[j] onto it and shall give it to the priest. The priest[k] shall make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt offering, and he will be forgiven.
