Leviticus 6:2-12

2 anima quae peccaverit et contempto Domino negaverit depositum proximo suo quod fidei eius creditum fuerat vel vi aliquid extorserit aut calumniam fecerit

3 sive rem perditam invenerit et infitians insuper peierarit et quodlibet aliud ex pluribus fecerit in quibus peccare solent homines

4 convicta delicti reddet

5 omnia quae per fraudem voluit obtinere integra et quintam insuper partem domino cui damnum intulerat

6 pro peccato autem suo offeret arietem inmaculatum de grege et dabit eum sacerdoti iuxta aestimationem mensuramque delicti

7 qui rogabit pro eo coram Domino et dimittetur illi pro singulis quae faciendo peccaverit

8 locutus est Dominus ad Mosen dicens

9 praecipe Aaron et filiis eius haec est lex holocausti cremabitur in altari tota nocte usque mane ignis ex eodem altari erit

10 vestietur sacerdos tunica et feminalibus lineis tolletque cineres quos vorans ignis exusit et ponens iuxta altare

11 spoliabitur prioribus vestimentis indutusque aliis efferet eos extra castra et in loco mundissimo usque ad favillam consumi faciet

12 ignis autem in altari semper ardebit quem nutriet sacerdos subiciens ligna mane per singulos dies et inposito holocausto desuper adolebit adipes pacificorum
