1The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,2Speak to the sons of Israel, saying: If a soul sins unintentionally from any of the commandments of the LORD that must not be done, and does one of them,3if the anointed priest sins so as to bring guilt on the people, he shall bring for his sin that he has committed an unblemished bull, to the LORD as a sin offering,4He shall bring the bull to the entrance of the tent of meeting before the LORD, lay his hand on the bull's head, and slaughter the bull before the LORD,5The anointed priest shall take some of the bull's blood and bring it into the tent of meeting,6The priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle some of the blood seven times before the LORD in front of the curtain of the sanctuary,7The priest shall put some of the blood on the horns of the incense altar that is before the LORD in the tent of meeting, and he shall pour out all the blood of the bull 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 of the sin-offering bull—the fat that covers the inward parts and all the fat that is on the inward parts—9the two kidneys and the fat that is on them, which is on the loins, and the lobe on the liver that is on the kidneys he shall remove,10just as the fat is removed from the cattle of the peace offering, and the priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering,11together with the bull's hide, all its flesh, its head, its legs, its inward parts, and its offal,12He shall carry the whole bull outside the camp to a clean place where the ashes are poured out, and he shall burn it on wood in the fire at the ash heap; it shall be burned,13If the whole congregation of Israel goes astray and a matter is hidden from the eyes of the assembly, so that they do any one of the things the LORD has commanded must not be done and become guilty,14when the sin they have committed becomes known, the assembly shall present an unblemished bull as a sin offering and bring it before the tent of meeting,15The elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the bull's head before the LORD, and the bull shall be slaughtered before the LORD,16The anointed priest shall bring some of the bull's blood into the tent of meeting,17The priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD in front of the curtain,18He shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar that is before the LORD in the tent of meeting, and he shall pour out all the blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering that is at the entrance of the tent of meeting,19He shall remove all its fat and burn it on the altar,20He shall treat the bull just as he treated the sin-offering bull; thus he shall do with it, and the priest shall make atonement for them, and they shall be forgiven,21He shall carry the bull outside the camp and burn it just as the first sin-offering bull of the assembly was burned; it is that one,22When a leader sins unintentionally by doing any one of the things the LORD his God has commanded must not be done and becomes guilty,23or when his sin which he committed is made known to him, he shall bring as his offering an unblemished male goat,24He shall 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,25The 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 he shall pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering,26He shall burn all its fat on the altar like the fat of the peace offering, and the priest shall make atonement for him for his sin, and he shall be forgiven,27If a soul among the people of the land sins unintentionally by doing any one of the things the LORD has commanded must not be done and becomes guilty,28or when his sin which he committed is made known to him, he shall bring as his offering an unblemished female goat for the sin he has committed,29He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter the sin offering at the place of the burnt offering,30The priest shall take some of its blood with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and he shall pour out all its blood at the base of the altar,31He shall remove all its fat just as the fat is removed from the peace offering, and the priest shall burn it on the altar as a soothing aroma to the LORD; the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be forgiven,32If he brings a lamb as his sin offering, he shall bring an unblemished female,33He shall 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,34The 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 he shall pour out all its blood at the base of the altar,35He shall remove all its fat just as the fat of the sheep is removed from the peace offering, and the priest shall burn it on the altar on the food offerings of the LORD; the priest shall make atonement for him for the sin he committed, and he shall be forgiven,
Chapter 5
1If a soul sins by hearing a public oath and, though he is a witness or has seen or known the matter, does not report it, he shall bear his iniquity,2Or if a soul touches anything unclean—whether the carcass of an unclean living thing, an unclean animal, or an unclean swarm—and the fact is hidden from him, he is unclean and guilty,3Or if anyone touches human uncleanness of whatever kind by which one is defiled, and it is hidden from him, but later he realizes it, he is guilty,4Or if a soul swears rashly with his lips to do evil or good—whatever a man may rashly swear by an oath—and the matter is hidden from him, but later he knows it, he is guilty of one of these things,5When anyone becomes guilty of one of these things, he shall confess the sin he has committed,6He shall bring to the LORD as his guilt offering for the sin he has committed a female from the flock, either a lamb or a goat, for a sin offering, and the priest shall make atonement for him for his sin,7If his hand cannot reach the sufficiency of a sheep, he shall bring as his guilt offering for the sin he has committed two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the LORD, one for a sin offering and one for a burnt offering,8He shall bring them to the priest, who shall offer first the one for the sin offering: he shall nip its head from opposite its neck and shall not separate it,9He shall sprinkle some of the blood of the sin offering on the wall of the altar, and the rest of the blood shall be drained at the base of the altar; it is a sin offering,10The second bird he shall prepare as a burnt offering according to the regulation, and the priest shall make atonement for him for the sin he has committed, and he shall be forgiven,11If he cannot afford two turtledoves or two young pigeons, he shall bring as his offering for the sin he has committed a tenth of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering; he shall not put oil on it or place frankincense on it, because it is a sin offering,12He shall bring it to the priest, and the priest shall grasp from it a handful as its memorial portion and burn it on the altar on the food offerings of the LORD; it is a sin offering,13The priest shall make atonement for him for the sin he has committed in any of these ways, and he shall be forgiven; it shall belong to the priest like the grain offering.
