And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying. ] Continued to speak to him, or, after some pause made, proceeded to speak to him, and give things in commandment concerning the sin offering, what it should be, and for whom, as follows.
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.
