1 [a] The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 "If anyone sins and 1commits a breach of faith against the LORD by 2deceiving his neighbor in 3a matter of deposit or security, or through robbery, or 4if he has oppressed his neighbor
3 or 5has found something lost and lied about it, 6swearing falsely--in any of all the things that people do and sin thereby--
4 if he has sinned and has realized his guilt and will restore 7what he took by robbery or what he got by oppression or the deposit that was committed to him or the lost thing that he found
5 or anything about which he has sworn falsely, he shall 8restore it in full and shall add a fifth to it, and give it to him to whom it belongs on the day he realizes his guilt.
6 And he shall bring to the priest as his compensation to the LORD 9a ram without blemish out of the flock, or its equivalent for a guilt offering.
7 10And the priest shall make atonement for him before the LORD, and he shall be forgiven for any of the things that one may do and thereby become guilty."
