The Guilt Offering

14 Then the Lord spoke to Moses: 15 “If someone offends(A) by sinning unintentionally(B) in regard to any of the Lord’s holy things,[a] he must bring his penalty for guilt to the Lord: an unblemished ram from the flock (based on your assessment of its value in silver shekels, according to the sanctuary shekel(C)) as a guilt offering. 16 He is to make restitution(D) for his sin regarding any holy(E) thing, adding a fifth of its value to it,(F) and give it to the priest. Then the priest will make atonement on his behalf with the ram of the guilt offering, and he will be forgiven.(G)

17 “If someone sins and without knowing it violates any of the Lord’s commands concerning anything prohibited, he is guilty, and he will bear his iniquity. 18 He must bring an unblemished ram from the flock according to your assessment of its value as a guilt offering to the priest. Then the priest will make atonement on his behalf for the error he has committed unintentionally, and he will be forgiven. 19 It is a guilt offering; he is indeed guilty before the Lord.”

The Guilt Offering

“Now this is the law of the guilt[a] offering;(A) it is especially holy. The guilt offering is to be slaughtered at the place where the burnt offering(B) is slaughtered, and the priest is to splatter its blood on all sides of the altar. The offerer is to present all the fat from it: the fat tail,(C) the fat surrounding the entrails,[b] and the two kidneys with the fat on them at the loins; he will also remove the fatty lobe of the liver(D) with the kidneys. The priest will burn them on the altar as a food offering(E) to the Lord; it is a guilt offering. Any male among the priests may eat it.(F) It is to be eaten in a holy place;(G) it is especially holy.(H)
