Det er et Skyldoffer, han var skyldig for Herren. Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde: Naar nogen synder og forgriber sig saare imod Herren, ved at han lyver for sin Næste, angaaende det ham betroede eller det i hans Værge nedlagte, eller angaaende det røvede eller det, han har taget med Vold fra sin Næste; eller ved at han har fundet noget, som var tabt, og lyver om det og sværger paa Løgn i hvilken som helst Ting, et Menneske gør, og synder deri: Da skal det ske, naar han saa synder og bliver skyldig, at han skal tilbagegive det røvede, som han har røvet, eller det med Vold tagne, som han har taget, eller det betroede, som var ham betroet, eller det tabte, som han har fundet, eller alt, hvorom han har svoret paa Løgn: Han skal betale det med den fulde Sum og lægge den femte Part deraf dertil; den, hvem det tilhørte, skal han give det paa sit Skyldoffers Dag. Men for sin Skyld skal han fremføre til Herren en Væder uden Lyde af Smaakvæget, efter din Vurdering, til et Skyldoffer til Præsten. Og Præsten skal gøre Forligelse for ham for Herrens Ansigt, saa bliver det ham forladt for hvad som helst, han har gjort, hvorved han er bleven skyldig.
