1. The Lord said to Moses,
2. If you sin:by acting unfaithfully against the Lord;by deceiving a fellow citizen concerning a deposit or pledged property;by cheating a fellow citizen through robbery;
3. or, though you’ve found lost property, you lie about it;or by swearing falsely about anything that someone might do and so sin,
4. at that point, once you have sinned and become guilty of sin, you must return the property you took by robbery or fraud, or the deposit that was left with you for safekeeping, or the lost property that you found,
5. or whatever it was that you swore falsely about. You must make amends for the principal amount and add one-fifth to it. You must give it to the owner on the day you become guilty.
6. You must bring to the priest as your compensation to the Lord a flawless ram from the flock at the standard value as a compensation offering.
7. The priest will make reconciliation for you before the Lord, and you will be forgiven for anything you may have done that made you guilty.
8. The Lord said to Moses:
9. Command Aaron and his sons: This is the Instruction for the entirely burned offering—the entirely burned offering that must remain on the altar hearth all night until morning, while the fire is kept burning.
10. The priest will dress in his linen robe, with linen undergarments on his body. Because the fire will have devoured the entirely burned offering on the altar, he must remove the ashes and place them beside the altar.
11. The priest will then take off his clothes, dress in a different set of clothes, and take the ashes outside the camp to a clean location.
12. The altar fire must be kept burning; it must not go out. Each morning the priest will burn wood on it, will lay out the entirely burned offering on it, and will completely burn the fat of the well-being offering on it.
13. A continuous fire must be kept burning on the altar; it must not go out.
14. This is the Instruction for the grain offering: Aaron’s sons will present it before the Lord in front of the altar.
15. The priest will remove a handful of the choice flour and oil from the grain offering, and all of the frankincense that is on it, and burn this token portion completely on the altar as a soothing smell to the Lord.
16. Aaron and his sons will eat the rest of it. It must be eaten as unleavened bread in a holy place; the priests must eat it in the meeting tent’s courtyard.
17. It must not be baked with leaven. I have made it the priests’ share from my food gifts. It is most holy like the purification offering and the compensation offering.
