5:2 Or if a nefesh (soul) touch any tamei thing, whether [it be] a carcase of an tamei beast, or a carcase of tamei cattle, or the carcase of tamei creeping things, and [if] it be hidden from him; he also shall be tamei , and asham.
5:3 Or if he touch the tumat adam (uncleanness of man), whatsoever tumat [it be] that a man shall be defiled withal, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth [of it], then he shall be asham (guilty).
5:4 Or if a nefesh (soul) swear, pronouncing with [his] lips to do evil, or to do good, whatsoever [it be] that a man shall pronounce with an oath, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth [of it], then he shall be asham in one of these.
5:5 And it shall be, when he shall be asham in one of these [things], that he shall confess that he has sinned in that [thing]:
5:6 And he shall bring his asham (trespass offering) to Adonai (יהוה) for his sin which he has sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a kid of the goats, for a Chatat; and the Kohen shall make an kapporah (atonement) for him concerning his sin.
5:7 And if he be not able to bring a lamb, then he shall bring for his trespass, which he has committed, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, to Adonai (יהוה); one for a Chatat, and the other for a olah (burnt offering).
5:8 And he shall bring them to the Kohen, who shall offer [that] which [is] for the Chatat first, and wring off his head from his neck, but shall not divide [it] asunder:
5:9 And he shall sprinkle of the blood of the Chatat upon the side of the altar; and the rest of the blood shall be wrung out at the bottom of the altar: it [is] a Chatat.
5:10 And he shall offer the second [for] a olah (burnt offering), according to the manner: and the Kohen shall make an kapporah (atonement) for him for his sin which he has sinned, and it shall be forgiven him.

5:11(vii) But if he be not able to bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, then he that sinned shall bring for his korban the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a Chatat; he shall put no oil upon it, neither shall he put [any] frankincense thereon: for it [is] a Chatat.
5:12 Then shall he bring it to the Kohen, and the Kohen shall take his handful of it, [even] a memorial thereof, and burn [it] on the altar, according to the offerings made by fire to Adonai (יהוה): it [is] a Chatat.
5:13 And the Kohen shall make an kapporah (atonement) for him as touching his sin that he has sinned in one of these, and it shall be forgiven him: and [the remnant] shall be the Kohen's, as a minchah.
5:14 And Adonai spoke to Mosheh, saying:
5:15 If a nefesh (soul) commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance, in the kadosh things of Adonai (יהוה); then he shall bring for his trespass to Adonai (יהוה) a ram without blemish out of the flocks, with your estimation by shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a asham (trespass offering)
5:16 And he shall make amends for the harm that he has done in the kadosh thing, and shall add the fifth part thereto, and give it to the Kohen: and the Kohen shall make an kapporah (atonement) for him with the ram of the asham (trespass offering), and it shall be forgiven him.
5:17 And if a nefesh (soul) sin, and commit any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the mitzvot of Adonai (יהוה); though he wist [it] not, yet is he asham, and shall bear his iniquity.
5:18 And he shall bring a ram without blemish out of the flock, with your estimation, for a asham (trespass offering), to the Kohen: and the Kohen shall make an kapporah (atonement) for him concerning his ignorance wherein he erred and wist [it] not, and it shall be forgiven him.
5:19 It [is] an asham (trespass offering) he has certainly trespassed against Adonai (יהוה).
