Leviticus, Chapter 4

¹ Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, ² “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘If a person sins unintentionally in any of the^athings which the LORD has commanded not to be done, and commits any of them, ³ if the anointed priest sins so as to bring guilt on the people, then let him offer to the LORD a^b Or bull of the herdbull without defect as a sin offering for the sin he has^c Lit sinnedcommitted. ⁴ He shall bring the bull to the doorway of the tent of meeting before the LORD, and he shall lay his hand on the head of the bull and slay the bull before the LORD. ⁵ Then the anointed priest is to take some of the blood of the bull and bring it to the tent of meeting, ⁶ and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle some of the blood seven times before the LORD, in front of the veil of the sanctuary. ⁷ The priest shall also put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of fragrant incense which is before the LORD in the tent of meeting; and all the blood of the bull he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering which is at the doorway of the tent of meeting. ⁸ He shall remove from it all the fat of the bull of the sin offering: the fat that covers the entrails, and all the fat which is on the entrails, ⁹ and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them, which is on the loins, and the^d Or appendage onlobe of the liver, which he shall remove with the kidneys ¹⁰ (just as it is removed from the ox of the sacrifice of peace offerings), and the priest is to offer them up in smoke on the altar of burnt offering. ¹¹ But the hide of the bull and all its flesh with its head and its legs and its entrails and its refuse, ¹² ^e Lit andthat is, all the rest of the bull, he is to bring out to a clean place outside the camp where the^f Or fat ashes areashes are poured out, and burn it on wood with fire; where the^g Or fat ashes areashes are poured out it shall be burned.	2 Lev 4:22 Lev 4:27 Lev 5:15-18 Lev 22:14 Lev 4:13 3 Lev 4:14 Lev 4:23 Lev 4:28 4 Lev 1:4 Lev 4:15 Num 8:12 5 Lev 4:3 Lev 4:17 6 Exo 40:21 Exo 40:26 7 Lev 4:18 Lev 4:25 Lev 4:30 Lev 4:34 Lev 8:15 Lev 9:9 Lev 16:18 8 Lev 3:3 Lev 3:4 9 Lev 3:4 11 Lev 9:11 Num 19:5 12 Lev 4:21 Lev 6:10 Lev 6:11 Lev 16:27
¹³ ‘Now if the whole congregation of Israel commits error and the matter^h Lit is hidden from the eyes ofescapes the notice of the assembly, and they commit any of theⁱthings which the LORD has commanded not to be done, and they become guilty; ¹⁴ when the sin^j Lit concerning whichwhich they have^k Lit sinnedcommitted becomes known, then the assembly shall offer a^l Lit son of the herdbull of the herd for a sin offering and bring it before the tent of meeting. ¹⁵ Then the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the bull before the LORD, and the bull shall be slain before the LORD. ¹⁶ Then the anointed priest is to bring some of the blood of the bull to the tent of meeting; ¹⁷ and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD, in front of the veil. ¹⁸ He shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar which is before the LORD^m Lit which is inin the tent of meeting; and all the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering which is at the doorway of the tent of meeting. ¹⁹ He shall remove all its fat from it and offer it up in smoke on the altar. ²⁰ He shall also do with the bull just as he did with the bull of the sin offering; thus he shall do with it. So the priest shall make atonement for them, and they will be forgiven. ²¹ Then he is to bring out the bull to a place outside the camp and burn it as he burned the first bull; it is the sin offering for the assembly.	13 Num 15:24-26 14 Lev 4:3 Lev 4:3 Lev 4:23 Lev 4:28 15 Lev 8:14 Lev 8:18 Lev 8:22 Num 8:10 Num 8:12 Lev 1:3 17 Lev 4:6 18 Lev 4:7 Lev 4:25 Lev 4:30 Lev 4:34 19 Lev 4:8 20 Lev 4:8 Lev 4:21 Num 15:25 Num 15:28 21 Lev 4:13 Lev 16:15-17 Num 15:24-26
²² ‘When a leader sins and unintentionally does any one of all theⁿthings which the LORD his God has commanded not to be done, and he becomes guilty, ²³ ^o Lit orif his sin^p Lit in which he has sinnedwhich he has committed is made known to him, he shall bring for his offering a^q Lit buck of the goatsgoat, a male without defect. ²⁴ He shall lay his hand on the head of the male goat and slay it in the place where^r Lit one slaysthey slay the burnt offering before the LORD; it is a sin offering. ²⁵ Then the priest is to take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering; and the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering. ²⁶ All its fat he shall offer up in smoke on the altar as in the case of the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings. Thus the priest shall make atonement for him in regard to his sin, and he will be forgiven.	22 Num 31:13 Num 32:2 Lev 4:2 Lev 4:27 23 Lev 4:3 Lev 4:3 Lev 4:14 Lev 4:28 Lev 4:28 25 Lev 4:7 Lev 4:18 Lev 4:30 Lev 4:34 26 Lev 4:19 Lev 4:20 Lev 4:31 Lev 5:10 Lev 5:13 Lev 5:16 Lev 5:18 Lev 6:7
