A guilt offering ((ヘブライ語:''asham'' "guilt, trespass"; plural ''ashamot'')), also referred to in English as a trespass offering (KJV, 1611), was a type of Biblical sacrifice, specifically a sacrifice made as a compensation payment for unintentional transgressions. It was distinct from the biblical sin offering. ==Hebrew Bible== Guilt offerings or trespass offerings were mandated in Leviticus, chapters 5 to 7, where references are made to the offering "for sin" or "for sins". In the Greek Septuagint, the phrase used is the offering ''peri tes plemmeleias'' (περὶ τῆς πλημμελείας). The transgressor furnished an unblemished ram for sacrifice at the Temple in Jerusalem, as well as (in cases of sins against holy items, theft, commission of fraud or false oaths) monetary compensation to the victim for their loss, plus a mark-up of 20%〔Leviticus 5:16〕 of the value to cover the priest's earnings. Monetary restitution had to be given in the pre-exile version of the currency (the ''shekel of the sanctuary''), rather than the currency of the time, giving rise to a need for currency exchange in the Temple (hence the New Testament narrative of Jesus and the Money Changers). Such compensation payments were given on occasion of:〔 "The final offering is the guilt offering, also called the restitution or reparation offering. ... Three cases are given in which a person had to offer a guilt offering: sinning against a holy item, committing an unknown sin, and swearing falsely in a matter concerning money."〕 *infringing the rights of the priests to portions of other sacrifices (referred to in the text as ''God's holy things'') *committing an unknown sin - as these infringements were uncertain and possibly had not occurred at all, this was voluntary (''just in case'') and there was no restitution element *swearing falsely in a matter concerning money This was also given as part of the purification process for Tzaraat. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「guilt offering」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
