17And if a person sins and does any one of all the things that by Yahweh’s commandments must not be done, though he did not know it, then he is guilty and shall bear his iniquity.

18He shall bring to the priest a ram without blemish from the flock, according to your valuation, for a guilt offering; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning the error that he committed unintentionally, though he did not know it, and he shall be forgiven.

19It is a guilt offering; he has indeed incurred guilt against Yahweh.
