The Trespass Offering

5 ‘If a person sins in ^(A)hearing the utterance of an oath, and is a witness, whether he has seen or known of the matter—if he does not tell it, he ^(B)bears ^[a]guilt.

^17 (A)“Why have you not eaten the sin offering in a holy place, since it is most holy, and God has given it to you to bear ^(B)the guilt of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the Lord?

²² The goat ^[a]shall ^(A)bear on itself all their iniquities to an ^[b]uninhabited land; and he shall ^(B)release the goat in the wilderness.

⁹ ‘They shall therefore keep ^(A)My ^[a]ordinance, ^(B)lest they bear sin for it and die thereby, if they profane it: I the Lord sanctify them.

¹⁶ or allow them to bear the guilt of trespass when they eat their holy offerings; for I the Lord sanctify them.’ ”

Duties of Priests and Levites

18 Then the Lord said to Aaron: ^(A)“You and your sons and your father’s house with you shall ^(B)bear the ^[a]iniquity related to the sanctuary, and you and your sons with you shall bear the iniquity associated with your priesthood.
