Leviticus 4:7-18

7He must put some of the blood on the horns of the incense altar in front of the Lord. The priest must pour the blood that he did not use onto the floor in front of the altar. That altar is near the door outside the Tent of Meeting.

8He must cut all the fat from inside the dead animal.

9He must also cut out the kidneys and the best piece of the liver. He must take them from inside the animal.

10He must burn the fat on the altar. The priest does this when the people give a friendship offering to God.

11He must take up the skin and all the meat. He must take the head, the legs and all the inside pieces. He must include the stomach.

12The priest must take all the pieces to a clean place outside the camp. He must put them on the ashes and he must burn them on a wood fire.

13All of the people might do bad things when they did not really want to do them. They might not obey some of the Lord's rules. They will have sinned, even if they did not know this.

14When they do know about it they must bring a young bull to the Tent of Meeting. The animal is a sin offering.

15The leaders of the people must put their hands on the young bull's head. Then they must kill it in front of the Lord.

16The priest will take some of the blood into the Tent of Meeting.

17He will put his finger in the blood. He must shake it in front of the Lord and the holy curtain seven times.

18He will take some of the blood. Then he will put it on the horns of the altar that is in front of the Lord. He will pour the blood that he did not use onto the floor. He must pour it in front of the burnt offering altar. This altar is outside the door of the Tent of Meeting.
