|

|
2 "Say to the Israelites: 'When anyone sins unintentionally and does what is forbidden in any of the LORD's commands--
|
|
3 "'If the appointed priest sins so that he brings guilt on the people, then he must offer a young bull to the Lord, one that has nothing wrong with it, as a sin offering for the sin he has done.
|
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.
|
|
4 He will bring the bull to the entrance of the Meeting Tent in front of the Lord, put his hand on its head, and kill it before the Lord.
|
4 He 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 before the LORD.
|
|
5 Then the appointed priest must bring some of the bull's blood into the Meeting Tent.
|
5 Then the anointed priest shall take some of the bull's blood and carry it into the Tent of Meeting.
|
|
6 The priest is to dip his finger into the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the Lord in front of the curtain of the Most Holy Place.
|
6 He 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.
|
|
7 The priest must also put some of the blood on the corners of the altar of incense that stands before the Lord in the Meeting Tent. The rest of the blood he must pour out at the bottom of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the entrance of the Meeting Tent.
|
7 The 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.
|
|
8 He must remove all the fat from the bull of the sin offering -- the fat on and around the inner organs,
|
8 He shall remove all the fat from the bull of the sin offering--the fat that covers the inner parts or is connected to them,
|
|
9 both kidneys with the fat that is on them near the lower back muscle, and the best part of the liver which he will remove with the kidneys.
|
9 both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the covering of the liver, which he will remove with the kidneys--
|
|
10 (He must do this in the same way the fat is removed from the bull of the fellowship offering.) Then the priest must burn the animal parts on the altar of burnt offering.
|
10 just 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.
|
|
11 But the priest must carry off the skin of the bull and all its meat, along with the rest of the bull -- its head, legs, intestines, and other inner organs.
|
11 But the hide of the bull and all its flesh, as well as the head and legs, the inner parts and offal--
|
|
12 He must take it outside the camp to the special clean place where the ashes are poured out. He must burn it on a wood fire on the pile of ashes.
|
12 that 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 in a wood fire on the ash heap.
|
|
13 "'If the whole nation of Israel sins accidentally without knowing it and does something the Lord has commanded not to be done, they are guilty.
|
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, they are guilty.
