Leviticus 5:6

5:6 and he must bring his penalty for guilt to the Lord for his sin that he has committed, a female from the flock, whether a female sheep or a female goat, for a sin offering. So the priest will make atonement on his behalf for his sin.

Leviticus 27:16

Redemption of Vowed Fields

27:16 “‘If a man consecrates to the Lord some of his own landed property, the conversion value must be calculated in accordance with the amount of seed needed to sow it, a homer of barley seed being priced at fifty shekels of silver.


tn In this context the word for “guilt” (אָשָׁם, ’asham) refers to the “penalty” for incurring guilt, the so-called consequential אָשָׁם (J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:303; cf. the note on Lev 5:1).

sn The focus of sin offering “atonement” was purging impurities from the tabernacle (see the note on Lev 1:4).

tn See the note on 4:26 regarding the use of מִן (min).

tn Heb “a conversion value shall be to the mouth of its seed.”

tn Heb “seed of a homer of barley in fifty shekels of silver.”
