1The LORD said to Moses,

1The LORD told Moses,

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 Israelis and tell them that if a person inadvertently sins with respect to any of the LORD's commands that should not be violated, but nevertheless he disobeys 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.

3or if the anointed priest sins, thereby bringing guilt on the people, let him bring a young bull without defect as a sin offering to the LORD for his sin that he had committed.

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.

4"He is to bring the bull to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, into the LORD's presence, where he is to lay his hand on the head of the bull and slaughter it in the LORD's presence.

5Then the anointed priest shall take some of the bull's blood and carry it into the tent of meeting.

5The anointed priest is to take blood from the bull to 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.

6The priest is to dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle some of the blood seven times in the LORD's presence in front of the curtain 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.

7"The priest is then to put some blood on the horn of the altar that is near the Tent of Meeting as an incense of pleasing aroma in the LORD's presence. He is to pour the rest of the bull's blood for a burnt offering at the base of the altar that is at the entrance to 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,

8Then he is to remove all the fat from the bull for a sin offering—that is, the fat that covers the internal organs, all of the fat that is inside the internal organs,

9both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the long lobe of the liver, which he will remove with the kidneys--

9the two kidneys with the fat on them by the loins, and the fatty mass surrounding the liver and 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.

10just as it is taken from the bull for a peace offering. Then the priest is to burn it on the altar for burnt offerings.

11But the hide of the bull and all its flesh, as well as the head and legs, the internal organs and the intestines--

11"Now as for the bull's hide, its flesh, its head, its legs, its internal organs, 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.

12along with the rest of the bull, he is to bring it outside the camp to a clean place, where fat ashes are to be poured over it and then it is to be thoroughly burned over wood with fire. It is to be burned where the fat ashes are poured out."

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 goes astray, and if the sin is hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and if they go astray from one of the LORD's commands that should not be violated, then they will stand guilty.

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 that they have committed becomes known, the entire congregation is to bring a young bull as a sin offering to 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.

15where the elders of the community are to lay their hands on the head of the bull in the LORD's presence and slaughter it.

16Then the anointed priest is to take some of the bull's blood into the tent of meeting.

16The anointed priest is to take blood from the bull and bring it to 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.

17Then the priest is to dip his finger in the blood, sprinkle some of the blood seven times in front of the curtain in the LORD's presence,

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.

18then put blood on the horn of the altar near the Tent of Meeting in the LORD's presence. He is to pour the rest of the blood as a burnt offering at the base of the altar that is at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

19He shall remove all the fat from it and burn it on the altar,

19Then he is to remove all the fat from the bull for a sin offering and burn it 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.

20He is to do to this bull what he did to the bull for the sin offering. He is to do it this way so that the priest will make atonement for them and they will 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.

21Then he is to bring the rest of the bull outside the camp and burn it just as he had burned the first bull. This is the sin offering for the congregation."

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 ruler inadvertently sins, disobeying any one of the commands of the LORD his God that should not be violated, he will be guilty.

23and the sin he has committed becomes known, he must bring as his offering a male goat without defect.

23When the sin that he had committed is disclosed to him, he is to bring his offering: a male goat without defect.

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.

24He is then to lay his hand on the head of the goat and slaughter it at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered—in the LORD's presence—as 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 is to take blood from the sin offering with his finger, put it on the horn of the altar that is used for burnt offerings, and then pour the rest of the blood at the base of the altar that is used for burnt offerings.

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.

26He is to burn all the fat on the altar as is done for the fat for the sacrifice of a peace offering. This is how the priest will make atonement for him concerning his sin. It will be forgiven him."

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 any of the common people of the land inadvertently sins by disobeying one of the LORD's commands that should not be violated, he will be guilty.

28and the sin they have committed becomes known, they must bring as their offering for the sin they committed a female goat without defect.

28When the sin that he committed is disclosed to him, he is to bring his offering for his sin that he had committed: a female goat without defect.

29They are to lay their hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it at the place of the burnt offering.

29He is to lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it at the place for burnt offering.

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.
