1 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
1 God spoke to Moses,
2 Speak to the people of Israel, saying: When anyone sins unintentionally in any of the Lord's commandments about things not to be done, and does any one of them:
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 is the anointed priest who sins, thus bringing guilt on the people, he shall offer for the sin that he has committed a bull of the herd without blemish as a sin offering to the Lord.
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 He shall bring the bull to the entrance of the tent of meeting before the Lord and lay his hand on the head of the bull; the bull shall be slaughtered before the Lord.
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.

6 The priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle some of the blood seven times before the Lord in front of the curtain of the sanctuary.
6 dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle some of it seven times before God, before the curtain of the Sanctuary.
7 The priest shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of fragrant incense that is in the tent of meeting before the Lord; and the rest of the blood of the bull he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
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 shall remove all the fat from the bull of sin offering: the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is around the entrails;
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 with the fat that is on them at the loins; and the appendage of the liver, which he shall remove with the kidneys,
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 just as these are removed from the ox of the sacrifice of well-being. The priest shall turn them into smoke upon the altar of burnt offering.
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 But the skin of the bull and all its flesh, as well as its head, its legs, its entrails, and its dung—
11 Everything else - the bull's hide, meat, head, legs, organs, and guts -
12 all the rest of the bull—he shall carry out to a clean place outside the camp, to the ash heap, and shall burn it on a wood fire; at the ash heap it shall be burned.
