“‘ Suppose someone has been called as a witness to something they have seen or learned about. Then if they do not tell what they know, they have sinned. And they will be held responsible for it.

“若有人听见发誓的声音，他本是见证，却不把所看见的、所知道的说出来，这就是罪；他要担当他的罪孽。

“若有人犯了罪，就是听见了誓言，他本来可以作证，却不把所看见、所知道的说出来，必须担当他的罪孽。

“若有人犯了罪，就是听见了誓言，他本来可以作证，却不把所看见、所知道的说出来，必须担当他的罪孽。

“如果有人当庭作证，却不肯把自己所知所见的说出来，就是犯罪，要担负罪责。

“如果有人犯罪：他听见发誓的声音（“发誓的声音”或译：“传召作证的声音”，或“发咒语的声音”）；他本是证人，却不肯把看见或知道的说出来，他就要担当自己的罪责。

「若有人聽見發誓的聲音，他本是見證，卻不把所看見的、所知道的說出來，這就是罪；他要擔當他的罪孽。

「若有人犯了罪，就是聽見了誓言，他本來可以作證，卻不把所看見、所知道的說出來，必須擔當他的罪孽。

「若有人犯了罪，就是聽見了誓言，他本來可以作證，卻不把所看見、所知道的說出來，必須擔當他的罪孽。

「如果有人當庭作證，卻不肯把自己所知所見的說出來，就是犯罪，要擔負罪責。

“如果有人犯罪：他聽見發誓的聲音（“發誓的聲音”或譯：“傳召作證的聲音”，或“發咒語的聲音”）；他本是證人，卻不肯把看見或知道的說出來，他就要擔當自己的罪責。

『倘若有人犯罪、聽見誓囑或是誓求的聲音，雖能做見證——無論是看見甚麼、或是知道甚麼——卻不說出來，他就要擔當他的罪罰。

如人或聞或知其事、能為其證、既聞召為確證、而不以告、於是有罪、必任厥咎、

如人目擊其情、與知其事、被召為證、令其發誓、而不實告、於是取戾、

若有人聞人發誓、彼雖能證其所見所知、而不欲述之、於是有罪、或作若有人為證者雖聞訟者發誓不欲以所見所聞明告於是有罪

“‘ If anyone sins because they do not speak up when they hear a public charge to testify regarding something they have seen or learned about, they will be held responsible.

“ If anyone sins in that he hears a public adjuration to testify, and though he is a witness, whether he has seen or come to know the matter, yet does not speak, he shall bear his iniquity;

“ If you are called to testify about something you have seen or that you know about, it is sinful to refuse to testify, and you will be punished for your sin.

“ When someone sins in any of these ways: If he has seen, heard, or known about something he has witnessed, and did not respond to a public call to testify, he will bear his iniquity.

‘ Now if a person sins after he hears a public order to testify when he is a witness, whether he has seen or otherwise known, if he does not tell it, then he will bear his punishment.

‘ If a person sins in hearing the utterance of an oath, and is a witness, whether he has seen or known of the matter— if he does not tell it, he bears guilt.

And if any one sin, in that he heareth the voice of adjuration, he being a witness, whether he hath seen or known, if he do not utter it, then he shall bear his iniquity.

“ When someone sins in any of these ways: If he has seen, heard, or known about something he has witnessed, and did not respond to a public call to testify, he is responsible for his sin.

And if a soul sin, and hear the voice of swearing, and[ is] a witness, whether he hath seen or known[ of it]; if he do not utter[ it], then he shall bear his iniquity.

“‘ When a person sins in that he hears a public curse against one who fails to testify and he is a witness( he either saw or knew what had happened) and he does not make it known, then he will bear his punishment for iniquity.

“‘ If anyone sins, in that he hears a public adjuration to testify, he being a witness, whether he has seen or known, if he doesn’t report it, then he shall bear his iniquity.

“ Suppose someone sins by doing something I command them not to do. Even though they do not know it, they are guilty. They will be held responsible for it.

To help a thief is to become your own enemy. When you go to court, you won’t dare to say anything.

Suppose they eat any meat from the friendship offering on the third day. Then the Lord will not accept the offering. He will not accept it as a gift from them. It is not pure. If they eat any of it, they will be held responsible for it.

Whoever eats it will be held responsible. They have misused what is holy to me. They will be separated from their people.

But Jesus remained silent. The high priest said to him,“ I am commanding you in the name of the living God. May he judge you if you don’t tell the truth. Tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God.”

“ Suppose someone does something wrong to their neighbor. And the person who has done something wrong is required to give their word. They must tell the truth about what they have done. They must come and do it in front of your altar in this temple.

But suppose someone is“ clean” and not on a journey. And they fail to celebrate the Passover Feast. Then they must be separated from the community of Israel. They did not bring the Lord’ s offering at the appointed time. They will be punished for their sin.

“‘ Suppose a man gets married to his sister and has sex with her. That is a shameful thing to do. It does not matter whether she is the daughter of his father or of his mother. They must be separated from their community in front of everyone. That man has brought shame on his sister. He will be responsible for what he has done.

But suppose they do not wash their clothes. And suppose they do not take a bath. Then they will be held responsible for what they have done.’ ”

“ He himself carried our sins” in his body on the cross.( Isaiah 53:5) He did it so that we would die as far as sins are concerned. Then we would lead godly lives.“ His wounds have healed you.”( Isaiah 53:5)

Then the problem will be settled by promising the Lord to tell the truth. Suppose the neighbor says,‘ I didn’t steal your property.’ Then the owner must accept what the neighbor says. No payment is required.

If you don’t, I might have too much. Then I might say I don’t know you. I might say,‘ Who is the Lord?’ Or I might become poor and steal. Then I would bring shame to the name of my God.

“ Speak to the Israelites. Tell them,‘ Suppose someone sins without meaning to. And that person does something the Lord commands us not to do.

A person will die because of their own sins. A child will not be guilty because of what their parent did. And a parent will not be guilty because of what their child did. The right things a godly person does will be added to their account. The wrong things a sinful person does will be charged against them.

The king said to him,“ I’ve made you promise to tell the truth many times before. So don’t tell me anything but the truth in the name of the Lord.”

After he has suffered, he will see the light of life. And he will be satisfied. My godly servant will make many people godly because of what he will accomplish. He will be punished for their sins.

He said to his mother,“ Someone took 28 pounds of silver from you. I heard you curse the one who took it. I have the silver with me. I’m the one who took it.” Then his mother said,“ My son, may the Lord bless you!”

The king said to him,“ I’ve made you promise to tell the truth many times before. So don’t tell me anything but the truth in the name of the Lord.”

“ Suppose someone is unfaithful to me and sins. And they do it without meaning to. Here is how they sin against me or my priests. They refuse to give the priests one of the holy things set apart for them. Then they must bring me a ram from the flock. It must not have any flaws. It must be worth the required amount of silver. The silver must be weighed out in keeping with the standard weights that are used in the sacred tent. The ram is a guilt offering. It will pay for their sin.

My guilt has become too much for me. It is a load too heavy to carry.

Everyone belongs to me. Parents and children alike belong to me. A person will die because of their own sins.
