1And Jehovah spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, sayingH559, 2SpeakH1696 unto the children of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, If a soulH5315 shall sinH2398 through inadvertence against any of the commandmentsH4687 of Jehovah [in things] that ought not to be done, and do any of them; 3if the priestH3548 that is anointedH4899 sinH2398 according to the trespass of the peopleH5971; then for his sinH2398 which he hath sinnedH2398 shall he presentH7126 a youngH1121 bullock without blemish to Jehovah for a sin-offering. 4And he shall bringH935 the bullock to the entranceH6607 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150 before Jehovah; and shall lay his handH3027 on the bullock's headH7218, and slaughterH7819 the bullock before Jehovah. 5And the priestH3548 that is anointedH4899 shall takeH3947 of the bullock's bloodH1818, and bringH935 it into the tentH168 of meetingH4150; 6and the priestH3548 shall dipH2881 his fingerH676 in the bloodH1818, and sprinkle of the bloodH1818 sevenH7651 timesH6471 before Jehovah before the veil of the sanctuaryH6944; 7and the priestH3548 shall putH5414 of the bloodH1818 on the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196 of fragrant incenseH7004, which is in the tentH168 of meetingH4150, before Jehovah; and he shall pourH8210 all the bloodH1818 of the bullock at the bottom of the altarH4196 of burnt-offering, which is at the entranceH6607 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150. 8And all the fatH2459 of the bullock of the sin-offering shall he takeH7311 off from it; the fatH2459 that covereth the inwards, and all the fatH2459 that is on the inwards, 9and the twoH8147 kidneysH3629, and the fatH2459 that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the net above the liverH3516 which he shall take awayH5493 as far as the kidneysH3629, 10as it is taken off from the oxH7794 of the sacrificeH2077 of peace-offering; and the priestH3548 shall burn them on the altarH4196 of burnt-offering. 11And the skinH5785 of the bullock, and all its fleshH1320, with its headH7218, and with its legsH3767, and its inwards, and its dungH6569, 12even the whole bullock shall he carry forthH3318 outside the campH4264 unto a cleanH2889 placeH4725, where the ashesH1880 are pouredH8211 out, and burnH8313 it on woodH6086 with fireH784; where the ashesH1880 are pouredH8211 out shall it be burnt. 13And if the whole assemblyH6951 of IsraelH3478 sin inadvertently, and the thingH1697 be hid from the eyesH5869 of the congregationH5712, and they do [somewhat against] any of all the commandmentsH4687 of Jehovah [in thingsH1697] which should not be done, and are guiltyH816; 14and the sinH2398 wherewith they have sinnedH2398 against it have become knownH3045; then the congregation shall presentH7126 a youngH1121 bullock for the sin-offering, and shall bringH935 it before the tentH168 of meetingH4150; 15and the eldersH2205 of the assemblyH5712 shall lay their handsH3027 on the headH7218 of the bullock before Jehovah; and one shall slaughterH7819 the bullock before Jehovah. 16And the priestH3548 that is anointedH4899 shall bringH935 of the bullock's bloodH1818 into the tentH168 of meetingH4150; 17and the priestH3548 shall dipH2881 his fingerH676 in the bloodH1818, and sprinkle it sevenH7651 timesH6471 before Jehovah, before the veil; 18and he shall putH5414 of the bloodH1818 on the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196 that is before Jehovah which is in the tentH168 of meetingH4150; and he shall pourH8210 out all the bloodH1818 at the bottom of the altarH4196 of burnt-offering, which is at the entranceH6607 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150. 19And all its fatH2459 shall he takeH7311 off from it and burn on the altarH4196. 20And he shall do with the bullock as he did with the bullock of sin-offering: soH3651 shall he do with it. And the priestH3548 shall makeH6213 atonementH3722 for them; and it shall be forgivenH5545 them. 21And he shall carry forthH3318 the bullock outside the campH4264, and burnH8313 it as he burnedH8313 the firstH7223 bullock: it is a sin-offering of the congregation. 22WhenH834 a princeH5387 sinneth and through inadvertence doeth [somewhat against] any of all the commandmentsH4687 of Jehovah his 1GodH430 [in things] which should not be done, and is guiltyH816; 23if his sinH2398, wherein he hath sinnedH2398, comeH935 to his knowledge, he shall bringH935 his offeringH7133, a buck of the goatsH5795, a maleH2145 without blemish. 24And he shall lay his handH3027 on the headH7218 of the goatH8163, and slaughterH7819 it at the placeH4725 whereH834 they slaughterH7819 the burnt-offering before Jehovah: it is a sin-offering. 25And the priestH3548 shall takeH3947 of the bloodH1818 of the sin-offering with his fingerH676, and putH5414 it on the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196 of burnt-offering, and shall pourH8210 out its bloodH1818 at the bottom of the altarH4196 of burnt-offering. 26And he shall burn all its fatH2459 on the altarH4196, as the fatH2459 of the sacrificeH2077 of peace-offering; and the priestH3548 shall make atonementH3722 for him [to cleanse him] from his sinH2403, and it shall be forgivenH5545 him. 27And if any oneH259 of the peopleH5971 of the landH776 sinH2398 through inadvertence, that he do [somewhat against] any of the commandmentsH4687 of Jehovah [in things] which should not be done, and be guiltyH816; 28if his sinH2398, which he hath sinnedH2398, comeH935 to his knowledge, then he shall bringH935 his offeringH7133, a goatH5795, a femaleH5347 without blemish, for his sinH2398 which he hath sinnedH2398. 29And he shall lay his handH3027 on the headH7218 of the sin-offering, and slaughterH7819 the sin-offering at the placeH4725 of the burnt-offering. 30And the priestH3548 shall takeH3947 of the bloodH1818 thereof with his fingerH676, and putH5414 [it] on the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196 of burnt-offering, and shall pourH8210 out all the bloodH1818 thereof at the bottom of the altarH4196. 31And he shall take awayH5493 all the fatH2459 thereof, as the fatH2459 is taken awayH5493 from off the sacrificeH2077 of peace-offering; and the priestH3548 shall burn it on the altarH4196, for a sweet odour to Jehovah; and the priestH3548 shall make atonementH3722 for him, and it shall be forgivenH5545 him. 32And if he bringH935 a sheep for his offeringH7133 for sinH2403, a femaleH5347 without blemish shall he bringH935 it. 33And he shall lay his handH3027 on the headH7218 of the sin-offering, and slaughterH7819 it for a sin-offering at the placeH4725 whereH834 they slaughterH7819 the burnt-offering. 34And the priestH3548 shall takeH3947 of the bloodH1818 of the sin-offering with his fingerH676, and putH5414 [it] on the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196 of burnt-offering, and shall pourH8210 out all the bloodH1818 thereof at the bottom of the altarH4196. 35And he shall take awayH5493 all the fatH2459 thereof, as the fatH2459 of the lambH3775 is taken awayH5493 from the sacrificeH2077 of peace-offering; and the priestH3548 shall burn them on the altarH4196, with Jehovah's offerings by fireH801; and the priestH3548 shall make atonementH3722 for him concerning his sinH2398 which he hath sinnedH2398, and it shall be forgivenH5545 him.
