Leviticus 6:1-9 Good News Bible (GNB)

1. The Lord gave the following regulations to Moses.

2. An offering is to be made if anyone sins against the Lord by refusing to return what a fellow-Israelite has left as a deposit or by stealing something from him or by cheating him

3. or by lying about something that has been lost and swearing that he did not find it.

4-5. When a man sins in any of these ways, he must repay whatever he got by dishonest means. On the day he is found guilty, he must repay the owner in full, plus an additional twenty per cent.

6. He shall bring to the priest as his repayment offering to the Lord a male sheep or goat without any defects. Its value is to be determined according to the official standard.

7. The priest shall offer the sacrifice for the man's sin, and he will be forgiven.

8. The Lord commanded Moses

9. to give Aaron and his sons the following regulations for burnt offerings. A burnt offering is to be left on the altar all night long, and the fire is to be kept burning.
