  1. And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying:
  2. If a person sins and commits a trespass against the LORD by deceiving his neighbor about what was delivered to him for safekeeping, or about a security deposit, or about a robbery, or if he has extorted from his neighbor,
  3. or if he has found something lost and lies concerning it, and swears falsely—in any one of these things that a person may do in which he sins:
  4. Then it shall be, because he has sinned and is guilty, that he shall restore what he took by robbery, or the thing which he got by extortion, or what was delivered to him for safekeeping, or the lost thing which he found.
  5. He shall restore in full all that about which he has sworn falsely, add one-fifth more to it, and give it to the one to whom it belongs on the day he acknowledges his guilt.
  6. And he shall bring his guilt offering to the LORD, a ram without defect from the flock, according to your assessment of its value, to the priest.

  8. Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

  10. The priest shall put on his linen garment and his linen undergarments on his body, and take up the ashes to which the fire has reduced the burnt offering on the altar, and he shall put them beside the altar.
