“1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak unto the children of
Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin through ignorance against any of the
commandments of the LORD [concerning things] which ought not to be done,
and shall do against any of them: 3 If the priest that is anointed do
sin according to the sin of the people; then let him bring for his sin,
which he hath sinned, a young bullock without blemish unto the LORD for
a sin offering. 4 And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD; and shall lay his hand
upon the bullock’s head, and kill the bullock before the LORD. 5 And the
priest that is anointed shall take of the bullock’s blood, and bring it
to the tabernacle of the congregation: 6 And the priest shall dip his
finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the blood seven times before the
LORD, before the vail of the sanctuary. 7 And the priest shall put
[some] of the blood upon the horns of the altar of sweet incense before
the LORD, which [is] in the tabernacle of the congregation; and shall
pour all the blood of the bullock at the bottom of the altar of the
burnt offering, which [is at] the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation. 8 And he shall take off from it all the fat of the bullock
for the sin offering; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat
that [is] upon the inwards, 9 And the two kidneys, and the fat that [is]
upon them, which [is] by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with
the kidneys, it shall he take away, 10 As it was taken off from the
bullock of the sacrifice of peace offerings: and the priest shall burn
them upon the altar of the burnt offering. 11 And the skin of the
bullock, and all his flesh, with his head, and with his legs, and his
inwards, and his dung, 12 Even the whole bullock shall he carry forth
without the camp unto a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and
burn him on the wood with fire: where the ashes are poured out shall he
be burnt.”
“13 And if the whole congregation of Israel sin through ignorance, and
the thing be hid from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done
[somewhat against] any of the commandments of the LORD [concerning
things] which should not be done, and are guilty; 14 When the sin, which
they have sinned against it, is known, then the congregation shall offer
a young bullock for the sin, and bring him before the tabernacle of the
congregation. 15 And the elders of the congregation shall lay their
hands upon the head of the bullock before the LORD: and the bullock
shall be killed before the LORD. 16 And the priest that is anointed
shall bring of the bullock’s blood to the tabernacle of the
congregation: 17 And the priest shall dip his finger [in some] of the
blood, and sprinkle [it] seven times before the LORD, [even] before the
vail. 18 And he shall put [some] of the blood upon the horns of the
altar which [is] before the LORD, that [is] in the tabernacle of the
congregation, and shall pour out all the blood at the bottom of the
altar of the burnt offering, which [is at] the door of the tabernacle of
the congregation. 19 And he shall take all his fat from him, and burn
[it] upon the altar. 20 And he shall do with the bullock as he did with
the bullock for a sin offering, so shall he do with this: and the priest
shall make an atonement for them, and it shall be forgiven them. 21 And
he shall carry forth the bullock without the camp, and burn him as he
burned the first bullock: it [is] a sin offering for the congregation.”
“22 When a ruler hath sinned, and done [somewhat] through ignorance
[against] any of the commandments of the LORD his God [concerning
things] which should not be done, and is guilty; 23 Or if his sin,
wherein he hath sinned, come to his knowledge; he shall bring his
offering, a kid of the goats, a male without blemish: 24 And he shall
lay his hand upon the head of the goat, and kill it in the place where
they kill the burnt offering before the LORD: it [is] a sin offering. 25
And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his
finger, and put [it] upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and
shall pour out his blood at the bottom of the altar of burnt offering.
26 And he shall burn all his fat upon the altar, as the fat of the
sacrifice of peace offerings: and the priest shall make an atonement for
him as concerning his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.”
“27 And if any one of the common people sin through ignorance, while
he doeth [somewhat against] any of the commandments of the LORD
[concerning things] which ought not to be done, and be guilty; 28 Or if
his sin, which he hath sinned, come to his knowledge: then he shall
bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a female without blemish, for
his sin which he hath sinned. 29 And he shall lay his hand upon the head
of the sin offering, and slay the sin offering in the place of the burnt
offering. 30 And the priest shall take of the blood thereof with his
finger, and put [it] upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and
shall pour out all the blood thereof at the bottom of the altar. 31 And
he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat is taken away from
off the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn [it]
upon the altar for a sweet savour unto the LORD; and the priest shall
make an atonement for him, and it shall be forgiven him. 32 And if he
bring a lamb for a sin offering, he shall bring it a female without
blemish. 33 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering,
and slay it for a sin offering in the place where they kill the burnt
offering. 34 And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering
with his finger, and put [it] upon the horns of the altar of burnt
offering, and shall pour out all the blood thereof at the bottom of the
altar: 35 And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat of the
lamb is taken away from the sacrifice of the peace offerings; and the
priest shall burn them upon the altar, according to the offerings made
by fire unto the LORD: and the priest shall make an atonement for his
sin that he hath committed, and it shall be forgiven him.” (Le 4:1-35
