Leviticus 5:4-6

⁴Or if any one swear rashly with his lips to do evil, or to do good, whatsoever it be that a man shall utter rashly with an oath, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty in one of these [things].

⁵And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these [things], that he shall confess that wherein he hath sinned:

⁶and he shall bring his trespass-offering unto Jehovah for his sin which he hath sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a goat, for a sin-offering; and the priest shall make atonement for him as concerning his sin.

Leviticus 5 continues the discussion of sin offerings, focusing on specific scenarios where a person might inadvertently incur guilt and require atonement. It details various situations, from failing to testify as a witness to touching an unclean object or making a rash vow, and prescribes the appropriate offerings. A significant aspect of this chapter is the provision for those who are poor, allowing for lesser sacrifices if a more expensive animal is beyond their means, emphasizing God's gracious provision for all to find forgiveness.
