| 2"Tell the Israelites, 'When a person sins by straying unintentionally from any of the Lord's commandments which must not be violated, and violates any one of them-- | 2"Say to the Israelites: 'When anyone sins unintentionally and does what is forbidden in any of the LORD's commands-- |
| 3"'If the high priest sins so that the people are guilty, on account of the sin he has committed he must present a flawless young bull to the LORD for a sin offering. | 3"'If the anointed priest sins, bringing guilt on the people, he must bring to the LORD a young bull without defect as a sin offering for the sin he has committed. |
| 4He must bring the bull to the entrance of the Meeting Tent before the LORD, lay his hand on the head of the bull, and slaughter the bull before the LORD. | 4He is to present the bull at the entrance to the tent of meeting before the LORD. He is to lay his hand on its head and slaughter it there before the LORD. |
| 5Then that high priest must take some of the blood of the bull and bring it to the Meeting Tent. | 5Then the anointed priest shall take some of the bull's blood and carry it into the tent of meeting. |
| 6The priest must dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle some of it seven times before the LORD toward the front of the veil-canopy of the sanctuary. | 6He is to dip his finger into the blood and sprinkle some of it seven times before the LORD, in front of the curtain of the sanctuary. |
| 7The priest must put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of fragrant incense that is before the LORD in the Meeting Tent, and all the rest of the bull's blood he must pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering that is at the entrance of the Meeting Tent. | 7The priest shall then put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of fragrant incense that is before the LORD in the tent of meeting. The rest of the bull's blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering at the entrance to the tent of meeting. |
| 8"'Then he must take up all the fat from the sin offering bull: the fat covering the entrails and all the fat surrounding the entrails, | 8He shall remove all the fat from the bull of the sin offering--all the fat that is connected to the internal organs, |
| 9the two kidneys with the fat on their sinews, and the protruding lobe on the liver (which he is to remove along with the kidneys) | 9both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the long lobe of the liver, which he will remove with the kidneys-- |
| 10 --just as it is taken from the ox of the peace offering sacrifice--and the priest must offer them up in smoke on the altar of burnt offering. | 10just as the fat is removed from the ox sacrificed as a fellowship offering. Then the priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering. |
| 11But the hide of the bull, all its flesh along with its head and its legs, its entrails, and its dung-- | 11But the hide of the bull and all its flesh, as well as the head and legs, the internal organs and the intestines-- |
