3 Yf the preast that is anoynted synne and make the people to doo amysse he shall brynge for his synne which he hath done: an oxe wythout blemysh vnto the Lorde for a synneoffrynge.
4 And he shall brynge the oxe vnto the dore of the tabernacle of wytnesse before the Lorde, and shall put his hande apon the oxes heade and kyll him before the Lorde.
5 And the preast that is anoynted shall take of the oxes bloude and brynge it in to the tabernacle of witnesse
6 and shall dyppe his fynger in the bloude and sprinkle thereof .vij. tymes before the Lorde: euen before the hangynge of the holy place.
7 And he shall put some of the bloude apon the hornes of the alter of swete cens before the Lorde which is in the tabernacle of witnesse, and shall poure all the bloude of the oxe apon the botome of the alter of burntofferynges which is by the dore of the tabernacle of witnesse.
8 And he shall take awaye all the fatt of the oxe that is the synneofferynge: the fatt that couereth the inwardes and all the fatt that is aboute them,
9 and the .ij. kydneyes with the fatt that lyeth apon the and apon the loynes, and the kall apon the lyuer let them take awaye also with the kydneyes:
10 as it was taken from the oxe of the peaceoffrynge and let the preast burne them apon the altare of burntofferynges.
