Leviticus 5:18

18 Let him come to the priest with a sheep, a male without any mark out of the flock, of the value fixed by you, as an offering for his error; and the priest will take away the sin which he did in error, and he will have forgiveness.

Leviticus 5:18 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 5:18

And he shall bring a ram without blemish out of the flock,
&c.] (See Gill on Leviticus 5:15)

with thy estimation for a trespass [offering] to the priest;
along with the offering was to be brought an estimate of whatsoever damage had been done through the breach of any of the commands of God, where damage could take place, that so recompense be made as before directed; or else the ram brought was to be valued, and examined whether it was worth two shekels of silver, as before explained, (See Gill on Leviticus 5:15) but no fifth was required as in the former cases:

and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his
ignorance wherein he erred, and wist [it] not, and it shall be
forgiven him; (See Gill on Leviticus 5:10) this is what the Jews call "Asham Talui", doubtful trespass offering.

Leviticus 5:18 In-Context

16 And he is to make payment to the priest for what he has done wrong in relation to the holy thing, together with a fifth part of its value in addition; and the priest will take away his sin by the sheep of his offering, and he will have forgiveness.

17 And if anyone does wrong, and does any of the things which the Lord has given orders are not to be done, though he has no knowledge of it, still he is in the wrong and he is responsible.

18 Let him come to the priest with a sheep, a male without any mark out of the flock, of the value fixed by you, as an offering for his error; and the priest will take away the sin which he did in error, and he will have forgiveness.

19 It is an offering for his error: he is certainly responsible before the Lord.
