Leviticus 5:15Easy To Read Version“A person might accidentally do something wrong with the holy things of the Lord. [51] Then that person must bring a ram that has nothing wrong with it. This will be his guilt offering to the Lord. You must use the official measure [52] and set the price of the ram. See the chapter |
So, what do you do if you make a mistake and forget to obey all of these commands. If all the people of Israel made that mistake, then together the people must offer one young bull as a burnt offering to the Lord. Its smell will please the Lord. Also remember to give the grain offering and the drink offering that must be offered with the bull. You must also give a male goat as a sin offering.
{But maybe the person he did wrong to is dead. And} maybe that dead person doesn’t have any close relatives to take the payment. In that case, the person who did wrong will give the payment to the Lord. That person will give the full payment to the priest. The priest must sacrifice the ram that makes people pure. This ram must be sacrificed to cover over the sins of the person who did wrong. But the priest can keep the rest of the payment.
The priests and magicians answered, “If you send back the Holy Box [71] of the God of Israel, don’t send it away empty. You must offer gifts so the God of Israel will take away your sins. Then you will be healed. You will be made pure. You should do these things so God will stop punishing you.” [72]
