Leviticus 4

1

Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

2

"Speak to the children of Israel, saying, "If anyone sins unknowingly in any of the things which Yahweh has commanded not to be done, and does any one of them;

3

if the anointed priest sins so as to bring guilt on the people, then let him offer for his sin, which he has sinned, a young bull without blemish to Yahweh for a sin-offering.

4

He shall bring the bull to the door of the Tent of Meeting before Yahweh. He shall lay his hand on the head of the bull and kill the bull before Yahweh.

5

The anointed priest shall take of bull's blood, and bring it to the Tent of Meeting.

6

The priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the blood seven times before Yahweh, before the veil of the sanctuary.

7

The priest shall put of the blood on the horns of the altar of sweet incense before Yahweh, which is in the Tent of Meeting; and all the blood of the bull he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

8

All the fat of the bull of the sin-offering he shall take off from it; the fat that covers the innards, and all the fat that is on the innards,

9

and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys, he shall take away,

10

as it is taken off from the ox of the sacrifice of peace-offerings. The priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering.

11

The bull's skin and all its flesh, with its head, with its legs, its innards, and its dung,

12

even the whole bull he shall carry forth outside the camp to a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn it on wood with fire. It shall be burnt where the ashes are poured out.

13

If the whole congregation of Israel sins, and the thing is hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done any of the things which Yahweh has commanded not to be done, and are guilty;

14

when the sin in which they have sinned is known, then the assembly shall offer a young bull for a sin-offering, and bring it before the Tent of Meeting.

15

The elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the bull before Yahweh; and the bull shall be killed before Yahweh.

16

The anointed priest shall bring of the blood of the bull to the Tent of Meeting.

17

The priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before Yahweh, before the veil.

18

He shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar which is before Yahweh, that is in the Tent of Meeting; and all the rest of the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

19

All its fat he shall take off of it, and burn it on the altar.

20

Thus he shall do with the bull. As he did with the bull of the sin-offering, so shall he do with this. The priest shall make atonement for them, and they shall be forgiven.

21

He shall carry forth the bull outside the camp, and burn it as he burned the first bull. It is the sin-offering for the assembly.

22

When a ruler sins, and does unknowingly any one of all the things which Yahweh his God has commanded not to be done, and is guilty;

23

if his sin, in which he has sinned, is made known to him, he shall bring for his offering a goat, a male without blemish.

24

He shall lay his hand on the goat's head, and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt-offering before Yahweh. It is a sin-offering.

25

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 the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering.

26

All the fat of it he shall burn on the altar, as the fat of the sacrifice of peace-offerings. The priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin, and he shall be forgiven.

27

If anyone of the common people sin unknowingly, in doing any of the things which Yahweh has commanded not to be done, and is guilty;

28

if his sin, which he has sinned, is made known to him, then he shall bring for his offering a goat, a female without blemish, for his sin which he has sinned.

29

He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin-offering, and kill the sin-offering in the place of burnt offering.

30

The priest shall take some of its blood with his finger, and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering; and all the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar.

31

All its fat he shall take away, as the fat is taken away from off the sacrifice of peace-offerings; and the priest shall burn it on the altar for a sweet savor to Yahweh. The priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be forgiven.

32

If he brings a lamb as his offering for a sin-offering, he shall bring it a female without blemish.

33

He shall 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.

34

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 all the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar.

35

He shall take away all its fat, as the lamb's fat is taken away from the sacrifice of peace-offerings. The priest shall burn them on the altar, on the offerings of Yahweh made by fire; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin that he has sinned, and he shall be forgiven.
