Leviticus 4:1-9 ▼

1 Then the LORD said to Moses,

2 “Tell the Israelites to do as follows with one who sins unintentionally against any of the LORD’s commandments and does what is forbidden by them:

4 He must bring the bull to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting before the LORD, lay his hand on the bull’s head, and slaughter it before the LORD.

5 Then the anointed priest shall take some of the bull’s blood and bring it into the Tent of Meeting.

6 The priest is to dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle some of it seven times before the LORD, in front of the veil of the sanctuary.

8 Then he shall remove all the fat from the bull of the sin offering— the fat that covers the entrails, all the fat that is on them,

9 both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which he is to remove with the kidneys—
