14And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

15If a person acts unfaithfully and sins unintentionally in regard to the holy things of Yahweh, he shall bring his compensation offering to Yahweh: an unblemished ram from the flock, according to your valuation in silver shekels, by the sanctuary shekel, for a guilt offering.

16He shall make restitution for what he sinned against from the holy thing, and he shall add a fifth to it and give it to the priest. Then the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt offering, and he shall be forgiven.
