Leviticus 4

New Living Translation NLT

1 Then the LORD said to Moses,

2 “Give the following instructions to the people of Israel. This is how you are to deal with those who sin unintentionally by doing anything that violates one of the LORD ’s commands.

3 “If the high priest sins, bringing guilt upon the entire community, he must give a sin offering for the sin he has committed. He must present to the LORD a young bull with no defects.

4 He must bring the bull to the LORD at the entrance of the Tabernacle, lay his hand on the bull’s head, and slaughter it before the LORD .

5 The high priest will then take some of the bull’s blood into the Tabernacle,

6 dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD in front of the inner curtain of the sanctuary.

7 The priest will then put some of the blood on the horns of the altar for fragrant incense that stands in the LORD ’s presence inside the Tabernacle. He will pour out the rest of the bull’s blood at the base of the altar for burnt offerings at the entrance of the Tabernacle.

8 Then the priest must remove all the fat of the bull to be offered as a sin offering. This includes all the fat around the internal organs,

9 the two kidneys and the fat around them near the loins, and the long lobe of the liver. He must remove these along with the kidneys,

10 just as he does with cattle offered as a peace offering, and burn them on the altar of burnt offerings.

11 But he must take whatever is left of the bull—its hide, meat, head, legs, internal organs, and dung—

12 and carry it away to a place outside the camp that is ceremonially clean, the place where the ashes are dumped. There, on the ash heap, he will burn it on a wood fire.

13 “If the entire Israelite community sins by violating one of the LORD ’s commands, but the people don’t realize it, they are still guilty.

14 When they become aware of their sin, the people must bring a young bull as an offering for their sin and present it before the Tabernacle.

15 The elders of the community must then lay their hands on the bull’s head and slaughter it before the LORD .

16 The high priest will then take some of the bull’s blood into the Tabernacle,

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

18 He will then put some of the blood on the horns of the altar for fragrant incense that stands in the LORD ’s presence inside the Tabernacle. He will pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar for burnt offerings at the entrance of the Tabernacle.

19 Then the priest must remove all the animal’s fat and burn it on the altar,

20 just as he does with the bull offered as a sin offering for the high priest. Through this process, the priest will purify the people, making them right with the LORD, and they will be forgiven.

21 Then the priest must take what is left of the bull and carry it outside the camp and burn it there, just as is done with the sin offering for the high priest. This offering is for the sin of the entire congregation of Israel.

22 “If one of Israel’s leaders sins by violating one of the commands of the LORD his God but doesn’t realize it, he is still guilty.

23 When he becomes aware of his sin, he must bring as his offering a male goat with no defects.

24 He must lay his hand on the goat’s head and slaughter it at the place where burnt offerings are slaughtered before the LORD . This is an offering for his sin.

25 Then the priest will dip his finger in the blood of the sin offering and put it on the horns of the altar for burnt offerings. He will pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

26 Then he must burn all the goat’s fat on the altar, just as he does with the peace offering. Through this process, the priest will purify the leader from his sin, making him right with the LORD, and he will be forgiven.

27 “If any of the common people sin by violating one of the LORD ’s commands, but they don’t realize it, they are still guilty.

28 When they become aware of their sin, they must bring as an offering for their sin a female goat with no defects.

29 They must lay a hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it at the place where burnt offerings are slaughtered.

30 Then the priest will dip his finger in the blood and put it on the horns of the altar for burnt offerings. He will pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

31 Then he must remove all the goat’s fat, just as he does with the fat of the peace offering. He will burn the fat on the altar, and it will be a pleasing aroma to the LORD . Through this process, the priest will purify the people, making them right with the LORD, and they will be forgiven.

32 “If the people bring a sheep as their sin offering, it must be a female with no defects.

33 They must lay a hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it at the place where burnt offerings are slaughtered.

34 Then the priest will dip his finger in the blood of the sin offering and put it on the horns of the altar for burnt offerings. He will pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

35 Then he must remove all the sheep’s fat, just as he does with the fat of a sheep presented as a peace offering. He will burn the fat on the altar on top of the special gifts presented to the LORD . Through this process, the priest will purify the people from their sin, making them right with the LORD, and they will be forgiven.

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.
