Leviticus 4

Common English Bible CEB

1 The LORD said to Moses,

2 Say to the Israelites: Do the following whenever someone sins unintentionally against any of the LORD's commands, doing something that shouldn't be done:

3 If it is the anointed priest who has sinned, making the people guilty of sin, he must present to the LORD a flawless bull from the herd as a purification offering for the sin he has committed.

4 He will bring the bull before the LORD at the entrance to the meeting tent and press his hand on the bull's head. Then he will slaughter the bull before the LORD.

5 The anointed priest will take some of the bull's blood and take it into the meeting tent.

6 The priest will dip his finger into the blood and sprinkle some of it seven times before the LORD, toward the sanctuary's inner curtain.

7 Then the priest will put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of perfumed incense, which is in the meeting tent before the LORD. But he will pour out all the rest of the bull's blood at the base of the altar of entirely burned offerings, which is at the meeting tent's entrance.

8 Then he will remove all the fat from the bull for the purification offering: the fat that covers and surrounds the insides;

9 the two kidneys and the fat around them at the loins; and the lobe on the liver, which he will remove with the kidneys,

10 just as this is removed from the ox for the communal sacrifice of well-being. Then the priest will completely burn these on the altar of entirely burned offerings.

11 But the bull's hide and all of its flesh, along with its head, lower legs, entrails, and dung—

12 all that remains of the bull—will be taken to a clean location outside the camp, to the ash heap. It should be burned there at the ash heap on a wood fire.

13 If it is the entire Israelite community that has done something wrong unintentionally and the deed escapes the assembly's notice—but they've done something that shouldn't be done in violation of the LORD's commands, becoming guilty of sin—

14 once the sin that they committed becomes known, the assembly must present a bull from the herd as a purification offering. They will bring it before the meeting tent.

15 The community elders will press their hands on the bull's head before the LORD and then slaughter it before the LORD.

16 The anointed priest will take some of the bull's blood into the meeting tent.

17 The priest will dip his finger into the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD toward the inner curtain.

18 Then he will put some of the blood on the horns of the altar that is before the LORD in the meeting tent. But he will pour all the rest of the blood out at the base of the altar of entirely burned offerings that is at the meeting tent's entrance.

19 Then he will remove all the fat from it and completely burn it on the altar.

20 He will do the same with this bull as he did with the other bull for the purification offering; that is exactly what he must do. In this way, the priest will make reconciliation for them, and they will be forgiven.

21 Then the priest will take the bull outside the camp and burn it, just as the first bull was burned. It is the purification offering for the assembly.

22 If a leader sins by unintentionally breaking any of the commands of the LORD his God, doing something that shouldn't be done, and becomes guilty of sin—

23 once the sin that he committed is made known to him—he must bring as his offering a flawless male goat.

24 He will press his hand on the goat's head. It will be slaughtered at the place where an entirely burned offering would be slaughtered before the LORD. It is a purification offering.

25 The priest will take some of the blood from the purification offering and, using his finger, will put it on the horns of the altar of entirely burned offerings. But he will pour the rest of the blood out at the base of the altar of entirely burned offerings.

26 He will completely burn all of its fat on the altar just as the fat of the communal sacrifice of well-being is burned. In this way the priest will make reconciliation for the leader to remove his sin, and he will be forgiven.

27 If any ordinary person sins unintentionally by breaking one of the LORD's commands, doing something that shouldn't be done, and becomes guilty of sin—

28 once the sin they committed is made known to them—they must bring as their offering a flawless female goat because of the sin that was committed.

29 They will press their hand on the head of the purification offering. It will be slaughtered at the place for the entirely burned offerings.

30 The priest will take some of its blood and, using his finger, will put it on the horns of the altar of entirely burned offerings. But he will pour all the rest of the blood out at the base of the altar.

31 He will remove all of its fat, just as the fat from a communal sacrifice of well-being is removed. Then the priest will completely burn it on the altar as a soothing smell to the LORD. In this way, the priest will make reconciliation for them, and they will be forgiven.

32 If you offer a sheep as a purification offering, it must be a flawless female.

33 You must press your hand on the head of the purification offering. It will be slaughtered as a purification offering in the place where the entirely burned offering is slaughtered.

34 Then the priest will take some of the blood from the purification offering and, using his finger, will put it on the horns of the altar of entirely burned offerings. But he will pour all the rest of the blood out at the base of the altar.

35 He will remove all of its fat, just as the fat of a sheep would be removed from the communal sacrifice of well-being. Then the priest will completely burn it on the altar along with the LORD's food gifts. In this way, the priest will make reconciliation for you for the sin you committed, and you will be forgiven.

The Message Bible MSG

1 God spoke to Moses,

2 "Tell the Israelites: When a person sins unintentionally by straying from any of God's commands, breaking what must not be broken,

3 if it's the anointed priest who sins and so brings guilt on the people, he is to bring a bull without defect to God as an Absolution-Offering for the sin he has committed.

4 Have him bring the bull to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting in the presence of God, lay his hand on the bull's head, and slaughter the bull before God.

5 He is then to take some of the bull's blood, bring it into the Tent of Meeting,

6 dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle some of it seven times before God, before the curtain of the Sanctuary.

7 He is to smear some of the blood on the horns of the Altar of Fragrant Incense before God which is in the Tent of Meeting. He is to pour the rest of the bull's blood out at the base of the Altar of Whole-Burnt-Offering at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.

8 He is to remove all the fat from the bull of the Absolution-Offering, the fat which covers and is connected to the entrails,

9 the two kidneys and the fat that is around them at the loins, and the lobe of the liver which he takes out along with the kidneys

10 - the same procedure as when the fat is removed from the bull of the Peace-Offering. Finally, he is to burn all this on the Altar of Burnt Offering.

11 Everything else - the bull's hide, meat, head, legs, organs, and guts -

12 he is to take outside the camp to a clean place where the ashes are dumped and is to burn it on a wood fire.

13 "If the whole congregation sins unintentionally by straying from one of the commandments of God that must not be broken, they become guilty even though no one is aware of it.

14 When they do become aware of the sin they've committed, the congregation must bring a bull as an Absolution-Offering and present it at the Tent of Meeting.

15 The elders of the congregation will lay their hands on the bull's head in the presence of God and one of them will slaughter it before God.

16 The anointed priest will then bring some of the blood into the Tent of Meeting,

17 dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle some of it seven times before God in front of the curtain.

18 He will smear some of the blood on the horns of the Altar which is before God in the Tent of Meeting and pour the rest of it at the base of the Altar of Whole-Burnt-Offering at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.

19 He will remove all the fat and burn it on the Altar.

20 He will follow the same procedure with this bull as with the bull for the Absolution-Offering. The priest makes atonement for them and they are forgiven.

21 They then will take the bull outside the camp and burn it just as they burned the first bull. It's the Absolution-Offering for the congregation.

22 "When a ruler sins unintentionally by straying from one of the commands of his God which must not be broken, he is guilty.

23 When he becomes aware of the sin he has committed, he must bring a goat for his offering, a male without any defect,

24 lay his hand on the head of the goat, and slaughter it in the place where they slaughter the Whole-Burnt-Offering in the presence of God - it's an Absolution-Offering.

25 The priest will then take some of the blood of the Absolution-Offering with his finger, smear it on the horns of the Altar of Whole-Burnt-Offering, and pour the rest at the base of the Altar.

26 He will burn all its fat on the Altar, the same as with the fat of the Peace-Offering. "The priest makes atonement for him on account of his sin and he's forgiven.

27 "When an ordinary member of the congregation sins unintentionally, straying from one of the commandments of God which must not be broken, he is guilty.

28 When he is made aware of his sin, he shall bring a goat, a female without any defect, and offer it for his sin,

29 lay his hand on the head of the Absolution-Offering, and slaughter it at the place of the Whole-Burnt-Offering.

30 The priest will take some of its blood with his finger, smear it on the horns of the Altar of Whole-Burnt-Offering, and pour the rest at the base of the Altar.

31 Finally, he'll take out all the fat, the same as with the Peace-Offerings, and burn it on the Altar for a pleasing fragrance to God. "In this way, the priest makes atonement for him and he's forgiven.

32 "If he brings a lamb for an Absolution-Offering, he shall present a female without any defect,

33 lay his hand on the head of the Absolution-Offering, and slaughter it at the same place they slaughter the Whole-Burnt-Offering.

34 The priest will take some of the blood of the Absolution-Offering with his finger, smear it on the horns of the Altar of Burnt-Offering, and pour the rest at the base of the Altar.

35 He shall remove all the fat, the same as for the lamb of the Peace-Offering. Finally the priest will burn it on the Altar on top of the gifts to God. "In this way, the priest makes atonement for him on account of his sin and he's forgiven.
