3 If you unintentionally touch anything of human origin that is unclean, whatever it may be, you are guilty as soon as you realize what you have done.
4 If you make a careless vow, no matter what it is about, you are guilty as soon as you realize what you have done.
5 When you are guilty, you must confess the sin,
6 and as the penalty for your sin you must bring to the Lord a female sheep or goat as an offering. The priest shall offer the sacrifice for your sin.
7 If you cannot afford a sheep or a goat, you shall bring to the Lord as the payment for your sin two doves or two pigeons, one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering.
8 You shall bring them to the priest, who will first offer the bird for the sin offering. He will break its neck without pulling off its head
9 and sprinkle some of its blood against the side of the altar. The rest of the blood will be drained out at the base of the altar. This is an offering to take away sin.
