Chapter 4
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses , saying ,
2 " Speak to the children of Israel , saying , ‘ If anyone sins unintentionally , 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 defect to Yahweh for a sin offering .
4 He shall bring the bull to the door of the Tent of Meeting before Yahweh ; and he shall lay his hand on the head of the bull , and kill the bull before Yahweh .
5 The anointed priest shall take some of the blood of the bull , and bring it to the Tent of Meeting .
6 The priest shall dip his finger in the blood , and sprinkle some of the blood seven times before Yahweh , before the veil of the sanctuary .
7 The priest shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of sweet incense before Yahweh , which is in the Tent of Meeting ; and he shall pour out the rest of the blood of the bull at the base of the altar of burnt offering , which is at the door of the Tent of Meeting .
8 He shall take all the fat of the bull of the sin offering 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 remove ,
10 as it is removed from the bull of the sacrifice of peace offerings . The priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering .
11 He shall carry the bull ’s skin , all its meat , with its head , and with its legs , its innards, and its dung
12 — all the rest of the bull — outside of the camp to a clean place where the ashes are poured out , and burn it on wood with fire. It shall be burned 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 some 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 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 from it , and burn it on the altar .
20 He shall do this with the bull ; as he did with the bull of the sin offering , so he shall do with this ; and the priest shall make atonement for them , and they shall be forgiven .
21 He shall carry 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 unwittingly does 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 as his offering a goat , a male without defect .
24 He shall lay his hand on the head of the goat , 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 . He shall pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering .
26 All its fat he shall burn on the altar , like the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings ; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin , and he will be forgiven .
27 "‘ If anyone of the common people sins unwittingly , 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 defect , 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 the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar .
31 All its fat he shall take away , like the fat is taken away from the sacrifice of peace offerings ; and the priest shall burn it on the altar for a pleasant aroma to Yahweh ; and the priest shall make atonement for him , and he will be forgiven .
32 "‘If he brings a lamb as his offering for a sin offering , he shall bring a female without defect .
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 remove all its fat , like the fat of the lamb is removed from the sacrifice of peace offerings . The priest shall burn them on the altar , on the offerings of Yahweh made by fire. The priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin that he has sinned , and he will be forgiven .
