3 or has found that which was lost and lieth concerning it, and sweareth falsely -- in any of all these that a man doeth, sinning therein,

4 then it shall be, because he hath sinned and is guilty, that he shall restore that which he took violently away, or the thing which he hath deceitfully gotten, or that which was delivered him to keep, or the lost thing which he found,

6 And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD, a ram without blemish out of the flock, according to thy valuation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest.

7 And the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD; and it shall be forgiven him for any thing of all that he hath done in trespassing therein."
