"let him do penance for his sin, "
— Leviticus 5:5, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these things, that he shall confess that he hath sinned in that thing:”
“And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these things, that he shall confess that wherein he hath sinned: ”
“It shall be, when he is guilty of one of these, he shall confess that in which he has sinned:”
“when an individual becomes guilty with regard to one of these things he must confess how he has sinned,”
“Let him do penance for his sin:”
“And whoever is responsible for any such sin, let him make a statement openly of his wrongdoing;”
“And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these things, that he shall confess that he hath sinned in that thing:”
The soul that will have touched anything unclean, either that which has been killed by a beast, or that which has died on its own, or any other creeping thing, and will have forgotten its uncleanness, he is guilty and has committed a transgression.
And if he will have touched anything from the uncleanness of man, according to every kind of impurity by which he may be defiled, and having forgotten it, afterwards realizes it, he shall be guilty of committing a transgression.
The soul who swears and offers from his own lips that he would do either evil or good, and who will have bound the same with an oath and with his own words, and, having forgotten it, afterwards understands his transgression,
let him do penance for his sin,
and let him offer from the flocks a female lamb or a she-goat, and the priest shall pray for him and for his sin.
But if he is not able to offer a beast, let him offer two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the Lord, one for sin, and the other for a holocaust.
And he shall give them to the priest, who, offering the first for sin, shall twist back its head to the little wings, so that it adheres to the neck and is not entirely broken off.
