It is a guilt offering; he was surely guilty before the Lord.”

“‘This is the law of the guilt offering. It is most holy.

(They gave their word ¹  to send away their wives; their guilt offering was a ram from the flock for their guilt.)

He must bring his guilt offering to the Lord at the entrance of the Meeting Tent, a guilt offering ram, ¹ 

Then he must bring his guilt offering to the Lord, a flawless ram from the flock, convertible into silver shekels, ¹  for a guilt offering to the priest.

In this manner you will purge out the guilt of innocent blood from among you, for you must do what is right before ¹  the Lord.

They said to them, “Don’t bring those captives here! Are you planning on making us even more sinful and guilty before the Lord? ¹  Our guilt is already great and the Lord is very angry at Israel.” ² 

But if he should nullify them after he has heard them, then he will bear her iniquity.” ¹ 

and so cause them to incur a penalty for guilt ¹  when they eat their holy offerings, ²  for I am the Lord who sanctifies them.’”

Then Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, “You have behaved in an unfaithful manner by taking foreign wives! This has contributed to the guilt of Israel.

In the porch of the gate were two tables on either side on which to slaughter the burnt offering, the sin offering, and the guilt offering.

In the place where they slaughter the burnt offering they must slaughter the guilt offering, and the officiating priest ¹  must splash ²  the blood against the altar’s sides.

Then the priest must offer them up in smoke on the altar ¹  as a gift to the Lord. It is a guilt offering.

The law is the same for the sin offering and the guilt offering; ¹  it belongs to the priest who makes atonement with it.

This is the law ¹  for the burnt offering, the grain offering, ²  the sin offering, the guilt offering, the ordination offering, ³  and the peace offering sacrifice,

and the priest is to take the male lamb of the guilt offering and the log of olive oil and wave them ¹  as a wave offering before the Lord.

You must not pity him, but purge out the blood of the innocent ¹  from Israel, so that it may go well with you.

You can try to wash away your guilt with a strong detergent. You can use as much soap as you want. But the stain of your guilt is still there for me to see,” ¹  says the Lord God. ² 

They may eat the grain offering, the sin offering, and the guilt offering, and every devoted thing in Israel will be theirs.

Then the man will be free from iniquity, but that woman will bear the consequences ¹  of her iniquity.’” ²
