1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
1
The Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Say to the children of Israel: The soul that sinneth through ignorance, and doth any thing concerning any of the commandments of the Lord, which he commanded not to be done:
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:
3 If the priest that is anointed shall sin, making the people to offend, he shall offer to the Lord for his sin a calf without blemish.
3

8 And he shall take off the fat of the calf for the sin offering, as well that which covereth the entrails, as all the inwards:
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;
9 The two little kidneys, and the caul that is upon them, which is by the flanks, and the fat of the liver with the little kidneys:
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,
10 As it is taken off from the calf of the sacrifice of peace offerings. And he shall burn them upon the altar of holocaust.
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.
11 But the skin and all the flesh with the head and the feet and the bowels and the dung:
