Leviticus 4

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:

3 If the anointed priest sins, bringing guilt on the people, he must bring to the LORD a young bull without blemish as a sin offering for the sin he has committed.

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.

7 The priest must 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. And he is to pour out the rest of the bull’s blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

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—

10 just as the fat is removed from the ox of the peace offering. Then the priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering.

11 But the hide of the bull and all its flesh, with its head and legs and its entrails and dung—

12 all the rest of the bull—he must take outside the camp to a ceremonially clean place where the ashes are poured out, and there he must burn it on a wood fire on the ash heap.

13 Now if the whole congregation of Israel strays unintentionally and the matter escapes the notice of the assembly so that they violate any of the LORD’s commandments and incur guilt by doing what is forbidden,

14 when they become aware of the sin they have committed, then the assembly must bring a young bull as a sin offering and present it before the Tent of Meeting.

15 The elders of the congregation are to lay their hands on the bull’s head before the LORD, and it shall be slaughtered before the LORD.

16 Then the anointed priest is to bring some of the bull’s blood into the Tent of Meeting,

17 and he is to dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD in front of the veil.

18 He is also to put some of the blood on the horns of the altar that is before the LORD in the Tent of Meeting, and he must pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

19 And he is to remove all the fat from it and burn it on the altar.

20 He shall offer this bull just as he did the bull for the sin offering; in this way the priest will make atonement on their behalf, and they will be forgiven.

21 Then he is to take the bull outside the camp and burn it, just as he burned the first bull. It is the sin offering for the assembly.

22 When a leader sins unintentionally and does what is prohibited by any of the commandments of the LORD his God, he incurs guilt.

23 When he becomes aware of the sin he has committed, he must bring an unblemished male goat as his offering.

24 He is to lay his hand on the head of the goat and slaughter it at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered before the LORD. It is a sin offering.

25 Then the priest is to take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, 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.

26 He must burn all its fat on the altar, like the fat of the peace offerings; thus the priest will make atonement for that man’s sin, and he will be forgiven.

27 And if one of the common people sins unintentionally and does what is prohibited by any of the LORD’s commandments, he incurs guilt.

28 When he becomes aware of the sin he has committed, he must bring an unblemished female goat as his offering for that sin.

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

30 Then the priest is to take some of its blood with his finger, 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.

31 Then he is to remove all the fat, just as it is removed from the peace offering, and the priest is to burn it on the altar as a pleasing aroma to the LORD. In this way the priest will make atonement for him, and he will be forgiven.

32 If, however, he brings a lamb as a sin offering, he must bring an unblemished female.

33 And he is to lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it as a sin offering at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered.

34 Then the priest is to take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, 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.

35 And he shall remove all the fat, just as the fat of the lamb is removed from the peace offerings, and he shall burn it on the altar along with the food offerings to the LORD. In this way the priest will make atonement for him for the sin he has committed, and he will be forgiven.

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.

1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying:

2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a soul sin by mistake against any commandment of the LORD, which he ought not to do,

3 For if a priest that is anointed sin, and offend the people, he shall bring a young bullock without change for a sin offering unto the LORD for his sin which he hath sinned.

4 And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the LORD, and lay his hand upon the head thereof, and slay it before the LORD.

5 And the priest that is anointed shall take the blood of the bullock, and bring it into the tabernacle of the congregation.

6 And he shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD, before the veil in the holy place.

7 And he shall put the blood thereof upon the horns of the altar of incense that is before the LORD in the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall pour all the blood upon the bottom of the altar of burnt offering that is before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

8 And all the fat of the sin offering shall he lift up, even the fat of the inwards,

9 the two kidneys, with the fat that is on them, at the loins, and the caul above the liver, torn off at the kidneys,

10 As he lifteth it up from the bullock in the sacrifice of peace offerings, and burneth it upon the altar of burnt offering.

11 And the hide of the bullock with all the flesh, and the head, and the legs, and the bowels, and the dung,

12 And he shall carry them all out of the camp unto a clean place, where they shall cast the ashes, and burn them upon the wood with fire.

13 If there were a whole congregation in Israel, and the deed were hid from their eyes, that they had done any thing contrary to the commandment of the LORD, which they ought not to do, and so were in debt,

14 And afterward they shall remember their sin which they have sinned: and they shall offer a young bullock for a sin offering, and set it at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

15 And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands upon his head before the LORD, and slay the bullock before the LORD.

16 And the priest that is anointed shall bring the blood of the bullock into the tabernacle of the congregation.

17 And he shall dip his finger therein, and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD, before the veil.

18 And he shall put the blood upon the horns of the altar that is before the LORD in the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall pour out all the rest of the blood at the bottom of the altar of burnt offering that is before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

19 And he shall take up all his fat, and burn it upon the altar.

20 And he shall do unto the bullock as he did unto the bullock of the sin offering. And if the priest make an atonement for them, it shall be forgiven them.

21 And he shall bring the bullock out of the camp, and burn it as he burned the first bullock. This shall be the sin offering of the congregation.

22 But if a prince sin, and do any thing against the commandment of the LORD his God, which he ought not to do, and sin, he is guilty,

23 And if he remember his sin which he hath committed, he shall offer for a sacrifice a kid of the goats without change;

24 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat, and slay it in the place where they slay the burnt offerings before the LORD. This is a sin offering.

25 Then the priest shall take the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour out the other blood at the bottom of the altar of burnt offering.

26 And all the fat thereof shall he burn upon the altar, as the fat of the peace offerings. And if the priest make an atonement for his sin, it shall be forgiven him.

27 And if a soul of the common people sin, and do any thing contrary to the commandments of the LORD, which he ought not to do, and so be in debt,

28 And if she remember her sin which she hath committed, she shall bring a kid of the goats for an offering without change for the sin which she hath committed;

29 And she shall lay her hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay it in the place of the burnt offering.

30 And the priest shall take the blood with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all the blood at the bottom of the altar.

31 And all the fat thereof shall he take away, as he took away the fat of the peace offerings, and burn it upon the altar for a sweet savour unto the LORD. And if the priest make an atonement for her, it shall be forgiven her.

32 But if he bring a sheep for a sin offering, let him bring that which is one without change,

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 the burnt offering is slain.

34 And the priest shall take of the blood with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all the blood at the bottom of the altar.

35 And he shall pluck off all his fat, as he plucked off the fat of the sheep of the sacrifice of peace offerings, and shall burn it upon the altar for a fire unto the LORD. And if the priest make an atonement for his sin which he hath committed, it shall be forgiven him.
