TRESPASS OFFERINGS FOR CONCEALING KNOWLEDGE. (Lev 5:1)
if a soul . . . hear the voice of swearing--or, according to some, "the words of adjuration." A proclamation was issued calling any one who could give information, to come before the court and bear testimony to the guilt of a criminal; and the manner in which witnesses were interrogated in the Jewish courts of justice was not by swearing them directly, but adjuring them by reading the words of an oath: "the voice of swearing." The offense, then, for the expiation of which this law provides, was that of a person who neglected or avoided the opportunity of lodging the information which it was in his power to communicate. |
Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Special occasions are mentioned on which sin-offerings are to be made with a particular confession of the offence for which atonement is sought Lev 5:5.
Lev 5:1
Swearing - Adjuration. The case appears to be that of one who has been put upon his oath as a witness by a magistrate, and fails to utter all he has seen and heard (compare the marginal references. and Pro 29:24; Num 5:21).
Lev 5:2-3
Hid from him - Either through forgetfulness or indifference, so that purification had been neglected. In such a case there had been a guilty negligence, and a sin-offering was required. On the essential connection between impurity and the sin-offering, see Lev 12:1.
Lev 5:4
Pronouncing - Idly speaking Psa 106:33. The reference is to an oath to do something uttered in recklessness or passion and forgotten as soon as uttered.
Lev 5:6
His trespass offering - Rather, as his forfeit, that is, whatever is due for his offence. The term "trespass-offering" is out of place here, since it has become the current designation for a distinct kind of sin-offering mentioned in the next section (see Lev 5:14 note).
A lamb or a kid of the goats - A sheep Lev 4:32 or a shaggy she-goat Lev 4:23.
Lev 5:7-10
See Lev 1:14-16; Lev 12:8. In the larger offerings of the ox and the sheep, the fat which was burned upon the altar represented, like the burnt-offering, the dedication of the worshipper; in this case, the same meaning was conveyed by one of the birds being treated as a distinct burnt-offering.
Lev 5:7
A lamb - One of the flock, either a sheep or a goat.
For his trespass, which he hath committed - As his forfeit for the sin he hath committed.
Lev 5:11
tenth part of an ephah i. e. - "the tenth deal;" probably less than half a gallon. See Lev 19:36 note. This sin-offering of meal was distinguished from the ordinary מנחה mı̂nchāh Lev 2:1 by the absence of oil and frankincense. |
Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
There follow here three special examples of sin on the part of the common Israelite, all sins of omission and rashness of a lighter kind than the cases mentioned in Lev 4:27.; in which, therefore, if the person for whom expiation was to be made was in needy circumstances, instead of a goat or ewe-sheep, a pair of doves could be received as a sacrificial gift, or, in cases of still greater poverty, the tenth of an ephah of fine flour. The following were the cases. The first (Lev 5:1), when any one had heard the voice of an oath (an oath spoken aloud) and was a witness, i.e., was in a condition to give evidence, whether he had seen what took place or had learned it, that is to say, had come to the knowledge of it in some other way. In this case, if he did not make it known, he was to bear his offence, i.e., to bear the guilt, which he had contracted by omitting to make it known, with all its consequences. אלה does not mean a curse in general, but an oath, as an imprecation upon one's self (= the "oath of cursing" in Num 5:21); and the sin referred to did not consist in the fact that a person heard a curse, imprecation, or blasphemy, and gave no evidence of it (for neither the expression "and is a witness," nor the words "hath seen or known of it," are in harmony with this), but in the fact that one who knew of another's crime, whether he had seen it, or had come to the certain knowledge of it in any other way, and was therefore qualified to appear in court as a witness for the conviction of the criminal, neglected to do so, and did not state what he had seen or learned, when he heard the solemn adjuration of the judge at the public investigation of the crime, by which all persons present, who knew anything of the matter, were urged to come forward as witnesses (vid., Oehler in Herzog's Cycl.). עון נשׁא, to bear the offence or sin, i.e., to take away and endure its consequences (see Gen 4:13), whether they consisted in chastisements and judgments, by which God punished the sin (Lev 7:18; Lev 17:16; Lev 19:17), such as diseases or distress (Num 5:31; Num 14:33-34), childlessness (Lev 20:20), death (Lev 22:9), or extermination (Lev 19:8; Lev 20:17; Lev 9:13), or in punishment inflicted by men (Lev 24:15), or whether they could be expiated by sin-offerings (as in this passage and Lev 5:17) and other kinds of atonement. In this sense חמא נשׂא is also sometimes used (see at Lev 19:17).
Lev 5:2-3
The second was, if any one had touched the carcase of an unclean beast, or cattle, or creeping thing, or the uncleanness of a man of any kind whatever ("with regard to all his uncleanness, with which he defiles himself," i.e., any kind of defilement to which a man is exposed), and "it is hidden from him," sc., the uncleanness or defilement; that is to say, if he had unconsciously defiled himself by touching unclean objects, and had consequently neglected the purification prescribed for such cases. In this case, if he found it out afterwards, he had contracted guilt which needed expiation.
Lev 5:4
The third was, if any one should "swear to prate with the lips," i.e., swear in idle, empty words of the lips, - "to do good or evil," i.e., that he would do anything whatever (Num 24:13; Isa 41:23), - "with regard to all that he speaks idly with an oath," i.e., if it related to something which a man had affirmed with an oath in thoughtless conversation, - "and it is hidden from him," i.e., if he did not reflect that he might commit sin by such thoughtless swearing, and if he perceived it afterwards and discovered his sin, and had incurred guilt with regard to one of the things which he had thoughtlessly sworn.
Lev 5:5-6
If any one therefore (the three cases enumerated are comprehended under the one expression כי והיה, for the purpose of introducing the apodosis) had contracted guilt with reference to one of these (the things named in Lev 5:1-4), and confessed in what he had sinned, he was to offer as his guilt (trespass) to the Lord, for the sin which he had sinned, a female from the flock-for a sin-offering, that the priest might make atonement for him on account of his sin. אשׁם (Lev 5:6) does not mean either guilt-offering or debitum (Knobel), but culpa, delictum, reatus, as in Lev 5:7 : "as his guilt," i.e., for the expiation of his guilt, which he had brought upon himself.
Lev 5:7-10
"But if his hand does not reach what is sufficient for a sheep," i.e., if he could not afford enough to sacrifice a sheep ("his hand" is put for what his hand acquires), he was to bring two turtle-doves or two young pigeons, one for the sin-offering, the other for the burnt-offering. The pigeon intended for the sin, i.e., for the sin-offering, he was to bring first of all to the priest, who was to offer it in the following manner. The head was to be pinched off from opposite to its neck, i.e., in the nape just below the head, though without entirely severing it, that is to say, it was to be pinched off sufficiently to kill the bird and allow the blood to flow out. He was then to sprinkle of the blood upon the wall of the altar, which could be effected by swinging the bleeding pigeon, and to squeeze out the rest of the blood against the wall of the altar, because it was a sin-offering; for in the burnt-offering he let all the blood flow out against the wall of the altar (Lev 1:15). What more was done with the pigeon is not stated. Hence it cannot be decided with certainty, whether, after the crop and its contents were removed and thrown upon the ash-heap, the whole of the bird was burned upon the altar, or whether it fell to the priest, as the Mishnah affirms (Seb. vi. 4), so that none of it was placed upon the altar. One circumstance which seems to favour the statement in the Talmud is the fact, that in the sin-offering of pigeons, a second pigeon was to be offered as a burnt-offering, and, according to Lev 5:10, for the purpose of making an atonement; probably for no other purpose than to burn it upon the altar, as the dove of the sin-offering was not burned, and the sacrifice was incomplete without some offering upon the altar. In the case of sin-offerings of quadrupeds, the fat portions were laid upon the altar, and the flesh could be eaten by the priest by virtue of his office; but in that of pigeons, it was not possible to separate fat portions from the flesh for the purpose of burning upon the altar by themselves, and it would not do to divide the bird in half, and let one half be burned and the other eaten by the priest, as this would have associated the idea of halfness or incompleteness with the sacrifice. A second pigeon was therefore to be sacrificed as a burnt-offering, כּמּשׂפּט, according to the right laid down in Lev 1:14., that the priest might make atonement for the offerer on account of his sin, whereas in the sin-offering of a quadruped one sacrificial animal was sufficient to complete the expiation.
(Note: From the instructions to offer two pigeons in order to obtain expiation, it is perfectly evident that the eating of the flesh of the sin-offering on the part of the priest formed an essential part of the act of expiation, and was not merely a kind of honourable tribute, which God awarded to His servants who officiated at the sacrifice.)
Lev 5:11-13
But if any one could not afford even two pigeons, he was to offer the tenth of an ephah of fine flour as a sin-offering. ידו תּשּׂיג for ידו תּגּיע (Lev 5:7): his hand reaches to anything, is able to raise it, or with an accusative, obtains, gets anything (used in the same sense in Lev 14:30, Lev 14:31), or else absolutely, acquires, or gets rich (Lev 25:26, Lev 25:47). But it was to be offered without oil and incense, because it was a sin-offering, that is to say, "because it was not to have the character of a minchah" (Oehler). But the reason why it was not to have this character was, that only those who were in a state of grace could offer a minchah, and not a man who had fallen from grace through sin. As such a man could not offer to the Lord the fruits of the Spirit of God and of prayer, he was not allowed to add oil and incense, as symbols of the Spirit and praise of God, to the sacrifice with which he sought the forgiveness of sin. The priest was to take a handful of the meal offered, and burn it upon the altar as a memorial, and thus make atonement for the sinner on account of his sin. - On "his handful" and "a memorial" (Azcarah), see Lev 2:2. "In one of these" (Lev 5:13 as in Lev 5:5): cf. Lev 4:2. "And let it (the remainder of the meal offered) belong to the priest like the meat-offering:" i.e., as being most holy (Lev 2:3). |
Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
And hear - And for that is, as that particle is often used. For this declares in particular what the sin was. Or, namely, that of cursing, or blasphemy, or execration, as the word commonly signifies, and that either against one's neighbour, or against God. This may seem to be principally intended here, because the crime spoken of is of so high a nature, that he who heard it, was obliged to reveal it, and prosecute the guilty. He hath seen - Been present when it was said. Or known - By sufficient information from others. His iniquity - That is, the punishment of it; so that word is oft used, as Gen 19:15, Num 18:1. |
Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
If a soul sin - It is generally supposed that the case referred to here is that of a person who, being demanded by the civil magistrate to answer upon oath, refuses to tell what he knows concerning the subject; such a one shall bear his iniquity - shall be considered as guilty in the sight of God, of the transgression which he has endeavored to conceal, and must expect to be punished by him for hiding the iniquity to which he was privy, or suppressing the truth which, being discovered, would have led to the exculpation of the innocent, and the punishment of the guilty. |
1 And if a soul [05315] sin [02398], and hear [08085] the voice [06963] of swearing [0423], and is a witness [05707], whether [0176] he hath seen [07200] or known [03045] of it; if he do not utter [05046] it, then he shall bear [05375] his iniquity [05771].
1 And when any [05315] will offer [07126] a meat [04503] offering [07133] unto the LORD [03068], his offering [07133] shall be of fine flour [05560]; and he shall pour [03332] oil [08081] upon it, and put [05414] frankincense [03828] thereon:
36 Just [06664] balances [03976], just [06664] weights [068], a just [06664] ephah [0374], and a just [06664] hin [01969], shall ye have: I am the LORD [03068] your God [0430], which brought you out [03318] of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714].
11 But if he [03027] be not able to bring [05381] two [08147] turtledoves [08449], or two [08147] young [01121] pigeons [03123], then he that sinned [02398] shall bring [0935] for his offering [07133] the tenth [06224] part of an ephah [0374] of fine flour [05560] for a sin offering [02403]; he shall put [07760] no oil [08081] upon it, neither shall he put [05414] any frankincense [03828] thereon: for it is a sin offering [02403].
7 And if he [03027] be not able [01767] to bring [05060] a lamb [07716], then he shall bring [0935] for [0854] his trespass [0817], which he hath committed [02398], two [08147] turtledoves [08449], or two [08147] young [01121] pigeons [03123], unto the LORD [03068]; one [0259] for a sin offering [02403], and the other [0259] for a burnt offering [05930].
8 And if she be not able to bring [04672] [01767] [03027] a lamb [07716], then she shall bring [03947] two [08147] turtles [08449], or two young [01121] pigeons [03123]; the one [0259] for the burnt offering [05930], and the other [0259] for a sin offering [02403]: and the priest [03548] shall make an atonement [03722] for her, and she shall be clean [02891].
14 And if the burnt sacrifice [05930] for his offering [07133] to the LORD [03068] be of fowls [05775], then he shall bring [07126] his offering [07133] of turtledoves [08449], or of young [01121] pigeons [03123].
15 And the priest [03548] shall bring [07126] it unto the altar [04196], and wring off [04454] his head [07218], and burn [06999] it on the altar [04196]; and the blood [01818] thereof shall be wrung out [04680] at the side [07023] of the altar [04196]:
16 And he shall pluck away [05493] his crop [04760] with his feathers [05133], and cast [07993] it beside [0681] the altar [04196] on the east part [06924], by the place [04725] of the ashes [01880]:
7 And if he [03027] be not able [01767] to bring [05060] a lamb [07716], then he shall bring [0935] for [0854] his trespass [0817], which he hath committed [02398], two [08147] turtledoves [08449], or two [08147] young [01121] pigeons [03123], unto the LORD [03068]; one [0259] for a sin offering [02403], and the other [0259] for a burnt offering [05930].
8 And he shall bring [0935] them unto the priest [03548], who shall offer [07126] that which is for the sin offering [02403] first [07223], and wring off [04454] his head [07218] from [04136] his neck [06203], but shall not divide it asunder [0914]:
9 And he shall sprinkle [05137] of the blood [01818] of the sin offering [02403] upon the side [07023] of the altar [04196]; and the rest [07604] of the blood [01818] shall be wrung out [04680] at the bottom [03247] of the altar [04196]: it is a sin offering [02403].
10 And he shall offer [06213] the second [08145] for a burnt offering [05930], according to the manner [04941]: and the priest [03548] shall make an atonement [03722] for him for his sin [02403] which he hath sinned [02398], and it shall be forgiven [05545] him.
23 Or if his sin [02403], wherein he hath sinned [02398], come to his knowledge [03045]; he shall bring [0935] his offering [07133], a kid [08163] of the goats [05795], a male [02145] without blemish [08549]:
32 And if he bring [0935] a lamb [03532] for a sin [02403] offering [07133], he shall bring [0935] it a female [05347] without blemish [08549].
14 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559],
6 And he shall bring [0935] his trespass offering [0817] unto the LORD [03068] for his sin [02403] which he hath sinned [02398], a female [05347] from the flock [06629], a lamb [03776] or a kid [08166] of the goats [05795], for a sin offering [02403]; and the priest [03548] shall make an atonement [03722] for him concerning his sin [02403].
33 Because they provoked [04784] his spirit [07307], so that he spake unadvisedly [0981] with his lips [08193].
4 Or if a soul [05315] swear [07650], pronouncing [0981] with his lips [08193] to do evil [07489], or to do good [03190], whatsoever it be that a man [0120] shall pronounce [0981] with an oath [07621], and it be hid [05956] from him; when he knoweth [03045] of it, then he shall be guilty [0816] in one [0259] of these.
1 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559],
2 Or if a soul [05315] touch [05060] any unclean [02931] thing [01697], whether it be a carcase [05038] of an unclean [02931] beast [02416], or a carcase [05038] of unclean [02931] cattle [0929], or the carcase [05038] of unclean [02931] creeping things [08318], and if it be hidden [05956] from him; he also shall be unclean [02931], and guilty [0816].
3 Or if he touch [05060] the uncleanness [02932] of man [0120], whatsoever uncleanness [02932] it be that a man shall be defiled [02930] withal, and it be hid [05956] from him; when he knoweth [03045] of it, then he shall be guilty [0816].
21 Then the priest [03548] shall charge [07650] the woman [0802] with an oath [07621] of cursing [0423], and the priest [03548] shall say [0559] unto the woman [0802], The LORD [03068] make [05414] thee a curse [0423] and an oath [07621] among [08432] thy people [05971], when the LORD [03068] doth make [05414] thy thigh [03409] to rot [05307], and thy belly [0990] to swell [06639];
24 Whoso is partner [02505] with a thief [01590] hateth [08130] his own soul [05315]: he heareth [08085] cursing [0423], and bewrayeth [05046] it not.
1 And if a soul [05315] sin [02398], and hear [08085] the voice [06963] of swearing [0423], and is a witness [05707], whether [0176] he hath seen [07200] or known [03045] of it; if he do not utter [05046] it, then he shall bear [05375] his iniquity [05771].
5 And it shall be, when he shall be guilty [0816] in one [0259] of these things, that he shall confess [03034] that he hath sinned [02398] in that thing:
3 And the remnant [03498] of the meat offering [04503] shall be Aaron's [0175] and his sons [01121]': it is a thing most [06944] holy [06944] of the offerings [0801] of the LORD [03068] made by fire [0801].
2 Speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], If a soul [05315] shall sin [02398] through ignorance [07684] against any of the commandments [04687] of the LORD [03068] concerning things which ought not to be done [06213], and shall do [06213] against any [0259] of them [02007]:
5 And it shall be, when he shall be guilty [0816] in one [0259] of these things, that he shall confess [03034] that he hath sinned [02398] in that thing:
13 And the priest [03548] shall make an atonement [03722] for him as touching his sin [02403] that he hath sinned [02398] in one [0259] of these, and it shall be forgiven [05545] him: and the remnant shall be the priest's [03548], as a meat offering [04503].
2 And he shall bring [0935] it to Aaron's [0175] sons [01121] the priests [03548]: and he shall take [07061] thereout [08033] his handful [07062] [04393] of the flour [05560] thereof, and of the oil [08081] thereof, with all the frankincense [03828] thereof; and the priest [03548] shall burn [06999] the memorial [0234] of it upon the altar [04196], to be an offering made by fire [0801], of a sweet [05207] savour [07381] unto the LORD [03068]:
47 And if a sojourner [01616] or stranger [08453] wax rich [05381] by thee [03027], and thy brother [0251] that dwelleth by him wax poor [04134], and sell [04376] himself unto the stranger [01616] or sojourner [08453] by thee, or to the stock [06133] of the stranger's [01616] family [04940]:
26 And if the man [0376] have none to redeem [01350] it, and himself [03027] be able [01767] [05381] to redeem [04672] [01353] it;
31 Even such as he [03027] is able to get [05381], the one [0259] for a sin offering [02403], and the other [0259] for a burnt offering [05930], with the meat offering [04503]: and the priest [03548] shall make an atonement [03722] for him that is to be cleansed [02891] before [06440] the LORD [03068].
30 And he shall offer [06213] the one [0259] of the turtledoves [08449], or of the young [01121] pigeons [03123], such as [0834] he can get [03027] [05381];
7 And if he [03027] be not able [01767] to bring [05060] a lamb [07716], then he shall bring [0935] for [0854] his trespass [0817], which he hath committed [02398], two [08147] turtledoves [08449], or two [08147] young [01121] pigeons [03123], unto the LORD [03068]; one [0259] for a sin offering [02403], and the other [0259] for a burnt offering [05930].
11 But if he [03027] be not able to bring [05381] two [08147] turtledoves [08449], or two [08147] young [01121] pigeons [03123], then he that sinned [02398] shall bring [0935] for his offering [07133] the tenth [06224] part of an ephah [0374] of fine flour [05560] for a sin offering [02403]; he shall put [07760] no oil [08081] upon it, neither shall he put [05414] any frankincense [03828] thereon: for it is a sin offering [02403].
12 Then shall he bring [0935] it to the priest [03548], and the priest [03548] shall take [07061] his handful [04393] [07062] of it, even a memorial [0234] thereof, and burn [06999] it on the altar [04196], according to the offerings made by fire [0801] unto the LORD [03068]: it is a sin offering [02403].
13 And the priest [03548] shall make an atonement [03722] for him as touching his sin [02403] that he hath sinned [02398] in one [0259] of these, and it shall be forgiven [05545] him: and the remnant shall be the priest's [03548], as a meat offering [04503].
14 And if the burnt sacrifice [05930] for his offering [07133] to the LORD [03068] be of fowls [05775], then he shall bring [07126] his offering [07133] of turtledoves [08449], or of young [01121] pigeons [03123].
10 And he shall offer [06213] the second [08145] for a burnt offering [05930], according to the manner [04941]: and the priest [03548] shall make an atonement [03722] for him for his sin [02403] which he hath sinned [02398], and it shall be forgiven [05545] him.
15 And the priest [03548] shall bring [07126] it unto the altar [04196], and wring off [04454] his head [07218], and burn [06999] it on the altar [04196]; and the blood [01818] thereof shall be wrung out [04680] at the side [07023] of the altar [04196]:
7 And if he [03027] be not able [01767] to bring [05060] a lamb [07716], then he shall bring [0935] for [0854] his trespass [0817], which he hath committed [02398], two [08147] turtledoves [08449], or two [08147] young [01121] pigeons [03123], unto the LORD [03068]; one [0259] for a sin offering [02403], and the other [0259] for a burnt offering [05930].
8 And he shall bring [0935] them unto the priest [03548], who shall offer [07126] that which is for the sin offering [02403] first [07223], and wring off [04454] his head [07218] from [04136] his neck [06203], but shall not divide it asunder [0914]:
9 And he shall sprinkle [05137] of the blood [01818] of the sin offering [02403] upon the side [07023] of the altar [04196]; and the rest [07604] of the blood [01818] shall be wrung out [04680] at the bottom [03247] of the altar [04196]: it is a sin offering [02403].
10 And he shall offer [06213] the second [08145] for a burnt offering [05930], according to the manner [04941]: and the priest [03548] shall make an atonement [03722] for him for his sin [02403] which he hath sinned [02398], and it shall be forgiven [05545] him.
7 And if he [03027] be not able [01767] to bring [05060] a lamb [07716], then he shall bring [0935] for [0854] his trespass [0817], which he hath committed [02398], two [08147] turtledoves [08449], or two [08147] young [01121] pigeons [03123], unto the LORD [03068]; one [0259] for a sin offering [02403], and the other [0259] for a burnt offering [05930].
6 And he shall bring [0935] his trespass offering [0817] unto the LORD [03068] for his sin [02403] which he hath sinned [02398], a female [05347] from the flock [06629], a lamb [03776] or a kid [08166] of the goats [05795], for a sin offering [02403]; and the priest [03548] shall make an atonement [03722] for him concerning his sin [02403].
1 And if a soul [05315] sin [02398], and hear [08085] the voice [06963] of swearing [0423], and is a witness [05707], whether [0176] he hath seen [07200] or known [03045] of it; if he do not utter [05046] it, then he shall bear [05375] his iniquity [05771].
2 Or if a soul [05315] touch [05060] any unclean [02931] thing [01697], whether it be a carcase [05038] of an unclean [02931] beast [02416], or a carcase [05038] of unclean [02931] cattle [0929], or the carcase [05038] of unclean [02931] creeping things [08318], and if it be hidden [05956] from him; he also shall be unclean [02931], and guilty [0816].
3 Or if he touch [05060] the uncleanness [02932] of man [0120], whatsoever uncleanness [02932] it be that a man shall be defiled [02930] withal, and it be hid [05956] from him; when he knoweth [03045] of it, then he shall be guilty [0816].
4 Or if a soul [05315] swear [07650], pronouncing [0981] with his lips [08193] to do evil [07489], or to do good [03190], whatsoever it be that a man [0120] shall pronounce [0981] with an oath [07621], and it be hid [05956] from him; when he knoweth [03045] of it, then he shall be guilty [0816] in one [0259] of these.
5 And it shall be, when he shall be guilty [0816] in one [0259] of these things, that he shall confess [03034] that he hath sinned [02398] in that thing:
6 And he shall bring [0935] his trespass offering [0817] unto the LORD [03068] for his sin [02403] which he hath sinned [02398], a female [05347] from the flock [06629], a lamb [03776] or a kid [08166] of the goats [05795], for a sin offering [02403]; and the priest [03548] shall make an atonement [03722] for him concerning his sin [02403].
23 Shew [05046] the things that are to come [0857] hereafter [0268], that we may know [03045] that ye are gods [0430]: yea, do good [03190], or do evil [07489], that we may be dismayed [08159], and behold [07200] it together [03162].
13 If Balak [01111] would give [05414] me his house [01004] full [04393] of silver [03701] and gold [02091], I cannot [03201] go beyond [05674] the commandment [06310] of the LORD [03068], to do [06213] either good [02896] or bad [07451] of mine own mind [03820]; but what the LORD [03068] saith [01696], that will I speak [01696]?
4 Or if a soul [05315] swear [07650], pronouncing [0981] with his lips [08193] to do evil [07489], or to do good [03190], whatsoever it be that a man [0120] shall pronounce [0981] with an oath [07621], and it be hid [05956] from him; when he knoweth [03045] of it, then he shall be guilty [0816] in one [0259] of these.
2 Or if a soul [05315] touch [05060] any unclean [02931] thing [01697], whether it be a carcase [05038] of an unclean [02931] beast [02416], or a carcase [05038] of unclean [02931] cattle [0929], or the carcase [05038] of unclean [02931] creeping things [08318], and if it be hidden [05956] from him; he also shall be unclean [02931], and guilty [0816].
3 Or if he touch [05060] the uncleanness [02932] of man [0120], whatsoever uncleanness [02932] it be that a man shall be defiled [02930] withal, and it be hid [05956] from him; when he knoweth [03045] of it, then he shall be guilty [0816].
17 Thou shalt not hate [08130] thy brother [0251] in thine heart [03824]: thou shalt in any wise [03198] rebuke [03198] thy neighbour [05997], and not suffer [05375] sin [02399] upon him.
17 And if a soul [05315] sin [02398], and commit [06213] any [0259] of these things which are forbidden to be done [06213] by the commandments [04687] of the LORD [03068]; though he wist [03045] it not, yet is he guilty [0816], and shall bear [05375] his iniquity [05771].
15 And thou shalt speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], Whosoever [0376] curseth [03588] [07043] his God [0430] shall bear [05375] his sin [02399].
13 And they presented [04672] the burnt offering [05930] unto him, with the pieces [05409] thereof, and the head [07218]: and he burnt [06999] them upon the altar [04196].
17 And if a man [0376] shall take [03947] his sister [0269], his father's [01] daughter [01323], or [0176] his mother's [0517] daughter [01323], and see [07200] her nakedness [06172], and she see [07200] his nakedness [06172]; it is a wicked thing [02617]; and they shall be cut off [03772] in the sight [05869] of their people [05971] [01121]: he hath uncovered [01540] his sister's [0269] nakedness [06172]; he shall bear [05375] his iniquity [05771].
8 Therefore every one that eateth [0398] it shall bear [05375] his iniquity [05771], because he hath profaned [02490] the hallowed thing [06944] of the LORD [03068]: and that soul [05315] shall be cut off [03772] from among his people [05971].
9 They shall therefore keep [08104] mine ordinance [04931], lest they bear [05375] sin [02399] for it, and die [04191] therefore, if they profane [02490] it: I the LORD [03068] do sanctify [06942] them.
20 And if a man [0376] shall lie [07901] with his uncle's wife [01733], he hath uncovered [01540] his uncle's [01730] nakedness [06172]: they shall bear [05375] their sin [02399]; they shall die [04191] childless [06185].
33 And your children [01121] shall wander [07462] in the wilderness [04057] forty [0705] years [08141], and bear [05375] your whoredoms [02184], until your carcases [06297] be wasted [08552] in the wilderness [04057].
34 After the number [04557] of the days [03117] in which ye searched [08446] the land [0776], even forty [0705] days [03117], each day [03117] for a year [08141] [03117] [08141], shall ye bear [05375] your iniquities [05771], even forty [0705] years [08141], and ye shall know [03045] my breach of promise [08569].
31 Then shall the man [0376] be guiltless [05352] from iniquity [05771], and this [01931] woman [0802] shall bear [05375] her iniquity [05771].
17 Thou shalt not hate [08130] thy brother [0251] in thine heart [03824]: thou shalt in any wise [03198] rebuke [03198] thy neighbour [05997], and not suffer [05375] sin [02399] upon him.
16 But if he wash [03526] them not, nor bathe [07364] his flesh [01320]; then he shall bear [05375] his iniquity [05771].
18 And if any of the flesh [01320] of the sacrifice [02077] of his peace offerings [08002] be eaten [0398] at all [0398] on the third [07992] day [03117], it shall not be accepted [07521], neither shall it be imputed [02803] unto him that offereth [07126] it: it shall be an abomination [06292], and the soul [05315] that eateth [0398] of it shall bear [05375] his iniquity [05771].
13 And Cain [07014] said [0559] unto the LORD [03068], My punishment [05771] is greater [01419] than I can bear [05375].
21 Then the priest [03548] shall charge [07650] the woman [0802] with an oath [07621] of cursing [0423], and the priest [03548] shall say [0559] unto the woman [0802], The LORD [03068] make [05414] thee a curse [0423] and an oath [07621] among [08432] thy people [05971], when the LORD [03068] doth make [05414] thy thigh [03409] to rot [05307], and thy belly [0990] to swell [06639];
1 And if a soul [05315] sin [02398], and hear [08085] the voice [06963] of swearing [0423], and is a witness [05707], whether [0176] he hath seen [07200] or known [03045] of it; if he do not utter [05046] it, then he shall bear [05375] his iniquity [05771].
27 And if any [0259] one [05315] of the common [0776] people [05971] sin [02398] through ignorance [07684], while he doeth [06213] somewhat against any [0259] of the commandments [04687] of the LORD [03068] concerning things which ought not to be done [06213], and be guilty [0816];
1 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Aaron [0175], Thou and thy sons [01121] and thy father's [01] house [01004] with thee shall bear [05375] the iniquity [05771] of the sanctuary [04720]: and thou and thy sons [01121] with thee shall bear [05375] the iniquity [05771] of your priesthood [03550].
15 And when [03644] the morning [07837] arose [05927], then the angels [04397] hastened [0213] Lot [03876], saying [0559], Arise [06965], take [03947] thy wife [0802], and thy two [08147] daughters [01323], which are here [04672]; lest thou be consumed [05595] in the iniquity [05771] of the city [05892].
