17 "If a person sins, and commits any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the commandments of the LORD, z though he does not know it, yet he is a guilty and shall bear his 1 iniquity. 18 b "And he shall bring to the priest a ram without blemish from the flock, with your valuation, as a trespass offering.
