| 1The LORD said to Moses, | 1And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, |
| 2"Say to the Israelites: 'When anyone sins unintentionally and does what is forbidden in any of the LORD's commands-- | 2“Speak to the people of Israel, saying, If anyone sins unintentionally in any of the LORD’s commandments about things not to be done, and does any one of them, |
| 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. | 3if it is the anointed priest who sins, thus bringing guilt on the people, then he shall offer for the sin that he has committed a bull from the herd without blemish to the LORD for a sin offering. |
| 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. | 4He shall bring the bull to the entrance of the tent of meeting before the LORD and lay his hand on the head of the bull and kill the bull before the LORD. |
| 5Then the anointed priest shall take some of the bull's blood and carry it into the tent of meeting. | 5And the anointed priest shall take some of the blood of the bull and bring it into the tent of meeting, |
| 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. | 6and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle part of the blood seven times before the LORD in front of the veil of the sanctuary. |
| 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. | 7And the priest shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of fragrant incense before the LORD that is in the tent of meeting, and all the rest of the blood of the bull he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering that is at the entrance of the tent of meeting. |
| 8He shall remove all the fat from the bull of the sin offering--all the fat that is connected to the internal organs, | 8And all the fat of the bull of the sin offering he shall remove from it, the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is on the entrails |
| 9both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the long lobe of the liver, which he will remove with the kidneys-- | 9and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them at the loins and the long lobe of the liver that he shall remove with the kidneys |
| 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. | 10(just as these are taken from the ox of the sacrifice of the peace offerings); and the priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering. |
| 11But the hide of the bull and all its flesh, as well as the head and legs, the internal organs and the intestines-- | 11But the skin of the bull and all its flesh, with its head, its legs, its entrails, and its dung— |
| 12that is, all the rest of the bull--he must take outside the camp to a place ceremonially clean, where the ashes are thrown, and burn it there in a wood fire on the ash heap. | 12all the rest of the bull—he shall carry outside the camp to a clean place, to the ash heap, and shall burn it up on a fire of wood. On the ash heap it shall be burned up. |
| 13"'If the whole Israelite community sins unintentionally and does what is forbidden in any of the LORD's commands, even though the community is unaware of the matter, when they realize their guilt | 13“If the whole congregation of Israel sins unintentionally and the thing is hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they do any one of the things that by the LORD’s commandments ought not to be done, and they realize their guilt, |
| 14and the sin they committed becomes known, the assembly must bring a young bull as a sin offering and present it before the tent of meeting. | 14when the sin which they have committed becomes known, the assembly shall offer a bull from the herd for a sin offering and bring it in front of the tent of meeting. |
| 15The elders of the community are to lay their hands on the bull's head before the LORD, and the bull shall be slaughtered before the LORD. | 15And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the bull before the LORD, and the bull shall be killed before the LORD. |
| 16Then the anointed priest is to take some of the bull's blood into the tent of meeting. | 16Then the anointed priest shall bring some of the blood of the bull into the tent of meeting, |
| 17He shall dip his finger into the blood and sprinkle it before the LORD seven times in front of the curtain. | 17and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD in front of the veil. |
| 18He is to put some of the blood on the horns of the altar that is before the LORD in the tent of meeting. The rest of the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering at the entrance to the tent of meeting. | 18And he shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar that is in the tent of meeting before the LORD, and the rest of the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering that is at the entrance of the tent of meeting. |
| 19He shall remove all the fat from it and burn it on the altar, | 19And all its fat he shall take from it and burn on the altar. |
| 20and do with this bull just as he did with the bull for the sin offering. In this way the priest will make atonement for the community, and they will be forgiven. | 20Thus shall he do with the bull. As he did with the bull of the sin offering, so shall he do with this. And the priest shall make atonement for them, and they shall be forgiven. |
| 21Then he shall take the bull outside the camp and burn it as he burned the first bull. This is the sin offering for the community. | 21And he shall carry the bull outside the camp and burn it up as he burned the first bull; it is the sin offering for the assembly. |
| 22"'When a leader sins unintentionally and does what is forbidden in any of the commands of the LORD his God, when he realizes his guilt | 22“When a leader sins, doing unintentionally any one of all the things that by the commandments of the LORD his God ought not to be done, and realizes his guilt, |
| 23and the sin he has committed becomes known, he must bring as his offering a male goat without defect. | 23or the sin which he has committed is made known to him, he shall bring as his offering a goat, a male without blemish, |
| 24He is to lay his hand on the goat's head and slaughter it at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered before the LORD. It is a sin offering. | 24and shall lay his hand on 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. |
| 25Then the priest shall 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 pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar. | 25Then the priest shall 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 pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering. |
| 26He shall burn all the fat on the altar as he burned the fat of the fellowship offering. In this way the priest will make atonement for the leader's sin, and he will be forgiven. | 26And all its fat he shall burn on the altar, like the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings. So the priest shall make atonement for him for his sin, and he shall be forgiven. |
| 27"'If any member of the community sins unintentionally and does what is forbidden in any of the LORD's commands, when they realize their guilt | 27“If anyone of the common people sins unintentionally in doing any one of the things that by the LORD’s commandments ought not to be done, and realizes his guilt, |
| 28and the sin they have committed becomes known, they must bring as their offering for the sin they committed a female goat without defect. | 28or the sin which he has committed is made known to him, he shall bring for his offering a goat, a female without blemish, for his sin which he has committed. |
| 29They are to lay their hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it at the place of the burnt offering. | 29And he shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and kill the sin offering in the place of burnt offering. |
| 30Then the priest is to take some of the blood with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering and pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar. | 30And the priest shall take some of its blood with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering and pour out all the rest of its blood at the base of the altar. |
| 31They shall remove all the fat, just as the fat is removed from the fellowship offering, and the priest shall burn it on the altar as an aroma pleasing to the LORD. In this way the priest will make atonement for them, and they will be forgiven. | 31And all its fat he shall remove, as the fat is removed from the peace offerings, and the priest shall burn it on the altar for a pleasing aroma to the LORD. And the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be forgiven. |
| 32"'If someone brings a lamb as their sin offering, they are to bring a female without defect. | 32“If he brings a lamb as his offering for a sin offering, he shall bring a female without blemish |
| 33They are to lay their hand on its head and slaughter it for a sin offering at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered. | 33and lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and kill it for a sin offering in the place where they kill the burnt offering. |
| 34Then the priest shall 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 pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar. | 34Then the priest shall 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 pour out all the rest of its blood at the base of the altar. |
| 35They shall remove all the fat, just as the fat is removed from the lamb of the fellowship offering, and the priest shall burn it on the altar on top of the food offerings presented to the LORD. In this way the priest will make atonement for them for the sin they have committed, and they will be forgiven. | 35And all its fat he shall remove as the fat of the lamb is removed from the sacrifice of peace offerings, and the priest shall burn it on the altar, on top of the LORD’s food offerings. And the priest shall make atonement for him for the sin which he has committed, and he shall be forgiven. |
