< previous LEVITICUS - CHAPTER FOUR next >
1 Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Speak
to the children of Israel, saying, ‘If anyone sins unintentionally, in any of
the things which Jehovah has commanded not to be done, and does any one of
them: 3 if the anointed priest sins so as to bring guilt on the people,
then let him offer for his sin, which he has sinned, a young bull without
defect to Jehovah for a sin offering. 4 He shall bring the bull to the
door of the Tent of Meeting before Jehovah; and he shall lay his hand on the
head of the bull, and kill the bull before Jehovah. 5 The anointed priest
shall take some of the blood of the bull, and bring it to the Tent of Meeting.
6 The priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle some of the
blood seven times before Jehovah, before the veil of the sanctuary. 7 The
priest shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of sweet incense
before Jehovah, which is in the Tent of Meeting; and he shall pour out all of
rest of the blood of the bull at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which
is at the door of the Tent of Meeting. 8 He shall take all the fat of the
bull of the sin offering off of it; the fat that covers the innards, and all
the fat that is on the innards, 9 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is
on them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys,
he shall take away, 10 as it is taken off of the bull of the sacrifice of
peace offerings. The priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering. 11 The
bull’s skin, all its flesh, with its head, and with its legs, its innards, and
its dung, 12 he shall carry the whole bull outside of the camp to a clean
place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn it on wood with fire. Where the
ashes are poured out, it shall be burned.
13 “‘If the whole congregation of Israel sins,
and the thing is hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done any
of the things which Jehovah has commanded not to be done, and are guilty;
14 when the sin in which they have sinned is known, then the assembly
shall offer a young bull for a sin offering, and bring it before the Tent of
Meeting. 15 The elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the
head of the bull before Jehovah; and the bull shall be killed before Jehovah.
16 The anointed priest shall 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 Jehovah, before the veil. 18 He shall put some of
the blood on the horns of the altar which is before Jehovah, that is in the
Tent of Meeting; and the rest of the blood he shall pour out at the base of the
altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
19 All its fat he shall take from it, and burn it on the altar.
20 Thus shall he do with the bull; as he did with the bull of the sin
offering, so shall he do with this; and the priest shall make atonement for
them, and they shall be forgiven. 21 He shall carry the bull outside the
camp, and burn it as he burned the first bull. It is the sin offering for the
assembly.
22 “‘When a ruler sins, and unwittingly does any
one of all the things which Jehovah his God has commanded not to be done, and
is guilty; 23 if his sin, in which he has sinned, is made known to him, he
shall bring as his offering a goat, a male without defect. 24 He shall lay
his hand on the head of the goat, and kill it in the place where they kill the
burnt offering before Jehovah. It is a sin offering. 25 The priest shall
take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it on the
horns of the altar of burnt offering. He shall pour out the rest of its blood
at the base of the altar of burnt offering. 26 All its fat he shall burn
on the altar, like the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest
shall make atonement for him concerning his sin, and he will be forgiven.
27 “‘If anyone of the common people sins
unwittingly, in doing any of the things which Jehovah has commanded not to be
done, and is guilty; 28 if his sin, which he has sinned, is made known to
him, then he shall bring for his offering a goat, a female without defect, for
his sin which he has sinned. 29 He shall lay his hand on the head of the
sin offering, and kill the sin offering in the place of burnt offering.
30 The priest shall take some of its blood 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. 31 All its fat he shall take away, like
the fat is taken away from off of the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the
priest shall burn it on the altar for a pleasant aroma to Jehovah; and the
priest shall make atonement for him, and he will be forgiven.
32 “‘If he brings a lamb as his offering for a
sin offering, he shall bring a female without defect. 33 He shall lay his
hand on the head of the sin offering, and kill it for a sin offering in the
place where they kill the burnt offering. 34 The priest shall 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 all the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the
base of the altar. 35 All its fat he shall take away, like the fat of the
lamb is taken away from the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall
burn them on the altar, on the offerings of Jehovah made by fire; and the
priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin that he has sinned, and
he will be forgiven.
