In this case, the priest has the same rights as in the case of a cerealoffering." '
14 Locutus est Dominus ad Moysen dicens:	14 Yahweh spoke to Moses and said:
15 “ Anima, si praevaricans per errorem in his, quae Domino sunt sanctificata, peccaverit, offeret sacrificium pro delicto arietem immaculatum de gregibus iuxta aestimationem argenti siclorum pondere sanctuarii in paenitentiam;	15 'If someone is unfaithful and sins inadvertently by infringing Yahweh's sacred rights, as a sacrifice ofreparation he must bring Yahweh an unblemished ram from his flock, the value of which wil be decided by youin silver shekels according to the rate of the sanctuary-shekel.

The priest wil then perform the rite of expiation for him with the ram for the sacrifice ofreparation and he wil be forgiven.

20 Locutus est Dominus ad Moysen dicens:	20 Yahweh spoke to Moses and said:
21 “ Anima, quae peccaverit et, contempto Domino, negaverit proximo suo depositum, quod fidei eius creditum fuerat, vel vi aliquid extorserit aut calumniam fecerit,	21 'If someone sins and is unfaithful against Yahweh by deceiving his fel ow-countryman over a deposit ora security, or by withholding something due to him or by exploiting him;
22 sive rem perditam invenerit et infitians insuper peierarit in uno ex omnibus, in quibus peccare solent homines,	22 'or if he finds lost property and denies it; 'or if he perjures himself about anything that a human beingmay do criminal y in such matters;
23 si quis sic peccaverit et deliquerit, reddet omnia, quae per rapinam vel calumniam abstulerit vel deposita retinuerit vel perdita invenerit	23 'if he sins and so becomes answerable, he must restore what he has taken or demanded in excess:the deposit confided to him, the lost property that he has found,

26 qui expiabit eum coram Domino, et dimittetur illi pro singulis, quae faciendo peccaverit ”.	26 and the priest wil perform the rite of expiation for him before Yahweh and he will be forgiven, whateverthe act by which he incurred guilt.'
