1[an error occurred while processing this directive]1Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2[an error occurred while processing this directive]2"Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, 'If a person sins unintentionally in any of the things which the LORD has commanded not to be done, and commits any of them,
3[an error occurred while processing this directive]3if the anointed priest sins so as to bring guilt on the people, then let him offer to the LORD a bull without defect as a sin offering for the sin he has committed.
4[an error occurred while processing this directive]4'He shall bring the bull to the doorway of the tent of meeting before the LORD, and he shall lay his hand on the head of the bull and slay the bull before the LORD.
5[an error occurred while processing this directive]5'Then the anointed priest is to take some of the blood of the bull and bring it to the tent of meeting,
6[an error occurred while processing this directive]6and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle some of the blood seven times before the LORD, in front of the veil of the sanctuary.
7[an error occurred while processing this directive]7'The priest shall also put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of fragrant incense which is before the LORD in the tent of meeting; and all the blood of the bull he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering which is at the doorway of the tent of meeting.
8[an error occurred while processing this directive]8'He shall remove from it all the fat of the bull of the sin offering: the fat that covers the entrails, and all the fat which is on the entrails,
9[an error occurred while processing this directive]9and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them, which is on the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which he shall remove with the kidneys
10[an error occurred while processing this directive]10(just as it is removed from the ox of the sacrifice of peace offerings), and the priest is to offer them up in smoke on the altar of burnt offering.
11[an error occurred while processing this directive]11'But the hide of the bull and all its flesh with its head and its legs and its entrails and its refuse,
12[an error occurred while processing this directive]12that is, all the rest of the bull, he is to bring out to a clean place outside the camp where the ashes are poured out, and burn it on wood with fire; where the ashes are poured out it shall be burned.
13[an error occurred while processing this directive]13'Now if the whole congregation of Israel commits error and the matter escapes the notice of the assembly, and they commit any of the things which the LORD has commanded not to be done, and they become guilty;
14[an error occurred while processing this directive]14when the sin which they have committed becomes known, then the assembly shall offer a bull of the herd for a sin offering and bring it before the tent of meeting.
15[an error occurred while processing this directive]15'Then the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the bull before the LORD, and the bull shall be slain before the LORD.
16[an error occurred while processing this directive]16'Then the anointed priest is to bring some of the blood of the bull to the tent of meeting;
17[an error occurred while processing this directive]17and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD, in front of the veil.
18[an error occurred while processing this directive]18'He shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar which is before the LORD in the tent of meeting; and all the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering which is at the doorway of the tent of meeting.
19[an error occurred while processing this directive]19'He shall remove all its fat from it and offer it up in smoke on the altar.
20[an error occurred while processing this directive]20'He shall also do with the bull just as he did with the bull of the sin offering; thus he shall do with it. So the priest shall make atonement for them, and they will be forgiven.
21[an error occurred while processing this directive]21Then he is to bring out the bull to a place outside the camp and burn it as he burned the first bull; it is the sin offering for the assembly.
22[an error occurred while processing this directive]22'When a leader sins and unintentionally does any one of all the things which the LORD his God has commanded not to be done, and he becomes guilty,
23[an error occurred while processing this directive]23if his sin which he has committed is made known to him, he shall bring for his offering a goat, a male without defect.
24[an error occurred while processing this directive]24'He shall lay his hand on the head of the male goat and slay it in the place where they slay the burnt offering before the LORD; it is a sin offering.
25[an error occurred while processing this directive]25Then the priest is to take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering; and the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering.
26[an error occurred while processing this directive]26All its fat he shall offer up in smoke on the altar as in the case of the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings. Thus the priest shall make atonement for him in regard to his sin, and he will be forgiven.
27[an error occurred while processing this directive]27'Now if anyone of the common people sins unintentionally in doing any of the things which the LORD has commanded not to be done, and becomes guilty,
28[an error occurred while processing this directive]28if his sin which he has committed is made known to him, then he shall bring for his offering a goat, a female without defect, for his sin which he has committed.
29[an error occurred while processing this directive]29'He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slay the sin offering at the place of the burnt offering.
30[an error occurred while processing this directive]30The priest shall take some of its blood with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering; and all the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar.
31[an error occurred while processing this directive]31'Then he shall remove all its fat, just as the fat was removed from the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall offer it up in smoke on the altar for a soothing aroma to the LORD. Thus the priest shall make atonement for him, and he will be forgiven.
32[an error occurred while processing this directive]32'But if he brings a lamb as his offering for a sin offering, he shall bring it, a female without defect.
33[an error occurred while processing this directive]33'He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slay it for a sin offering in the place where they slay the burnt offering.
34[an error occurred while processing this directive]34The priest is to take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and all the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar.
35[an error occurred while processing this directive]35'Then he shall remove all its fat, just as the fat of the lamb is removed from the sacrifice of the peace offerings, and the priest shall offer them up in smoke on the altar, on the offerings by fire to the LORD. Thus the priest shall make atonement for him in regard to his sin which he has committed, and he will be forgiven.
