Lev. XII, 6f. If there is doubt whether a normal birth took place (cf. Nid. III) she offers the burnt-offering with the stipulation that it shall be a freewill-offering in case of her being exempt, and the sin-offering she offers out of doubt without any stipulation. For the sin-offering of a bird the form of slaughter is the pinching of its neck, cf. Lev. V, 8.');"><sup>28</sup></span>
Sefer HaChinukh
The commandment of a definite guilt-offering: To offer a sacrifice for well-known sins - that we will explain. And this sacrifice is called a definite guilt-offering. And it is a sacrifice of a ram that needs to be worth two sela (Keritot 22b). And there are some of these sins for which this sacrifice comes, that are whether he sinned inadvertently or whether volitionally; and there are some for which it only comes specifically for the inadvertent, but not for the volitional.
