Leviticus 4:1 In-Context

1 The Lord commanded Moses

2 to tell the people of Israel that anyone who sinned and broke any of the Lord's commands without intending to, would have to observe the following rules.

3 If it is the High Priest who sins and so brings guilt on the people, he shall present a young bull without any defects and sacrifice it to the Lord for his sin.

4 He shall bring the bull to the entrance of the Tent, put his hand on its head, and kill it there in the Lord's presence.

5 Then the High Priest shall take some of the bull's blood and carry it into the Tent.
