1Then the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, sayingH559, 2“SpeakH1696 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, ‘IfH3588 a personH5315 sinsH2398 1unintentionallyH7684 in anyH3605 of the 2thingsH4687 whichH834 the LordH3068 has 3commandedH4687 not to be doneH6213, and commitsH6213 anyH259 of them, 34ifH518 the anointedH4899 priestH3548 sinsH2398 so as to bringH819 guiltH819 on the peopleH5971, then he is to offerH7126 to the LordH3068 a 5bullH6499H1121H1241 withoutH8549 defectH8549 as a sinH2403 offeringH2403 for his sinH2403 whichH834 he has 6committedH2398. 4He shall bringH935 the bullH6499 to the doorwayH6607 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150 beforeH6440 the LordH3068, and 7he shall layH5564 his handH3027 on the headH7218 of the bullH6499 and slaughterH7819 the bullH6499 beforeH6440 the LordH3068. 5Then the 8anointedH4899 priestH3548 is to takeH3947 someH4480 of the bloodH1818 of the bullH6499 and bringH935 it to the tentH168 of meetingH4150, 6and the priestH3548 shall dipH2881 his fingerH676 in the bloodH1818 and sprinkleH5137 someH4480 of the bloodH1818 sevenH7651 timesH6471 beforeH6440 the LordH3068, in frontH6440 of 9the veilH6532 of the sanctuaryH6944. 7The priestH3548 shall also putH5414 someH4480 of the bloodH1818 on the hornsH7161 of 10the altarH4196 of fragrantH5561 incenseH7004 whichH834 is beforeH6440 the LordH3068 in the tentH168 of meetingH4150; and allH3605 the rest of the bloodH1818 of the bullH6499 he shall pourH8210 outH8210 at the baseH3247 of the altarH4196 of burntH5930 offeringH5930, whichH834 is at the doorwayH6607 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150. 8And 11he shall removeH7311 from it allH3605 the fatH2459 of the bullH6499 of the sinH2403 offeringH2403: the fatH2459 that coversH3680 the entrailsH7130, and allH3605 the fatH2459 whichH834 is on the entrailsH7130, 9and the twoH8147 kidneysH3629 with the fatH2459 that is on them, whichH834 is on the loinsH3689, and the 12lobeH3508 of the liverH3516, whichH834 he shall removeH5493 13with the kidneysH3629 10(justH3512 asH3512 it is removedH7311 from the oxH7794 of the sacrificeH2077 of peaceH8002 offeringsH8002); and the priestH3548 is to offerH6999 them upH6999 inH6999 smokeH6999 on the altarH4196 of burntH5930 offeringH5930. 11But 14the hideH5785 of the bullH6499 and allH3605 its fleshH1320, alongH5921 withH5921 its headH7218, its legsH3767, its entrailsH7130, and its refuseH6569, 1215that is, allH3605 the rest of the bullH6499, he is to bringH3318 outH3318 to 16a cleanH2889 placeH4725 outsideH4480H2351 the campH4264 whereH413 the fattyH1880 ashesH1880 are pouredH8211 out, and burnH8313 it on woodH6086 with fireH784; whereH5921 the fattyH1880 ashesH1880 are pouredH8211 out it shall be burnedH8313.

13‘17Now ifH518 the entireH3605 congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478 doesH7686 wrongH7686 unintentionallyH7686 and the matterH1697 18escapesH5956 the noticeH5869 of the assemblyH6951, and they commitH6213 anyH259 of the 19thingsH4687 whichH834 the LordH3068 has commandedH4687 not to be doneH6213, and they becomeH816 guiltyH816; 1420when the sinH2403 21whichH834 they have 22committedH2398 becomesH3045 knownH3045, then the assemblyH6951 shall offerH7126 23a 24bullH6499H1121 of the herdH1241 as a sinH2403 offeringH2403 and bringH935 it in frontH6440 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150. 15Then 25the eldersH2205 of the congregationH5712 shall layH5564 their handsH3027 on the headH7218 of the bullH6499 beforeH6440 the LordH3068, and the bullH6499 shall be slaughteredH7819 26beforeH6440 the LordH3068. 16Then the anointedH4899 priestH3548 is to bringH935 someH4480 of the bloodH1818 of the bullH6499 to the tentH168 of meetingH4150; 17and 27the priestH3548 shall dipH2881 his fingerH676 in the bloodH1818 and sprinkleH5137 it sevenH7651 timesH6471 beforeH6440 the LordH3068, in frontH6440 of the veilH6532. 18He shall then putH5414 someH4480 of the bloodH1818 on the hornsH7161 of 28the altarH4196 whichH834 is beforeH6440 the LordH3068 29in the tentH168 of meetingH4150; and allH3605 the rest of the bloodH1818 he shall pourH8210 outH8210 at the baseH3247 of the altarH4196 of burntH5930 offeringH5930 whichH834 is at the doorwayH6607 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150. 19And 30he shall removeH7311 allH3605 its fatH2459 from it and offerH6999 it upH6999 inH6999 smokeH6999 on the altarH4196. 20He shall also doH6213 with the bullH6499 justH3512 asH3512 he didH6213 with 31the bullH6499 of the sinH2403 offeringH2403; he shall doH6213 the sameH3651 with it. So 32the priestH3548 shall makeH3722 atonementH3722 for them, and they will be forgivenH5545. 21Then he is to bringH3318 the bullH6499 outH3318 to a place outsideH4480H2351 the campH4264 and burnH8313 it justH3512 asH3512 he burnedH8313 the firstH7223 bullH6499; it is 33the sinH2403 offeringH2403 for the assemblyH6951.

22‘WhenH834 34a leaderH5387 35sinsH2398 and unintentionallyH7684 doesH6213 anyH259 of 36the thingsH4687 whichH834 the LordH3068 his GodH430 has commandedH4687 not to be doneH6213, and he becomesH816 guiltyH816, 233738ifH176 his sinH2403 39whichH834 he has committedH2398 is madeH3045 knownH3045 to him, he shall bringH935 as his offeringH7133 a 4041goatH8163H5795, 42a maleH2145 withoutH8549 defectH8549. 24And he shall layH5564 his handH3027 on the headH7218 of the maleH8163 goatH8163 and slaughterH7819 it in the placeH4725 whereH834 they slaughterH7819 the burntH5930 offeringH5930 beforeH6440 the LordH3068; it is a sinH2403 offeringH2403. 25Then the priestH3548 is to takeH3947 someH4480 of the bloodH1818 of the sinH2403 offeringH2403 with his fingerH676 and putH5414 it on 43the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196 of burntH5930 offeringH5930; and the rest of its bloodH1818 he shall pourH8210 outH8210 at the baseH3247 of the altarH4196 of burntH5930 offeringH5930. 26And he shall offerH6999 44allH3605 its fatH2459 upH6999 inH6999 smokeH6999 on the altarH4196 as in the case of the fatH2459 of the sacrificeH2077 of peaceH8002 offeringsH8002. So 45the priestH3548 shall makeH3722 atonementH3722 for him regardingH4480 his sinH2403, and he will be forgivenH5545.

27‘Now ifH518 46anyoneH5315H259 of the 47commonH776 peopleH5971 sinsH2398 48unintentionallyH7684 by doingH6213 anyH259 of the 49thingsH4687 whichH834 the LordH3068 has commandedH4687 not to be doneH6213, and becomesH816 guiltyH816, 285051ifH176 his sinH2403 whichH834 he has 52committedH2398 is madeH3045 knownH3045 to him, then he shall bringH935 as his offeringH7133 a 5354goatH8166, a 55femaleH5347 withoutH8549 defectH8549, for his sinH2403 whichH834 he has 56committedH2398. 29And 57he shall layH5564 his handH3027 on the headH7218 of the sinH2403 offeringH2403 and 58slaughterH7819 the sinH2403 offeringH2403 at the placeH4725 of the burntH5930 offeringH5930. 30The priestH3548 shall then takeH3947 someH4480 of its bloodH1818 with his fingerH676 and putH5414 it on the hornsH7161 of 59the altarH4196 of burntH5930 offeringH5930; and 60allH3605 the rest of its bloodH1818 he shall pourH8210 outH8210 at the baseH3247 of the altarH4196. 3161Then he shall removeH5493 allH3605 its fatH2459, justH3512 asH3512 the fatH2459 was removedH5493 from the sacrificeH2077 of peaceH8002 offeringsH8002; and the priestH3548 shall offerH6999 it upH6999 inH6999 smokeH6999 on the altarH4196 as 62a soothingH5207 aromaH7381 to the LordH3068. So the priestH3548 shall makeH3722 atonementH3722 for him, 63and he will be forgivenH5545.

32‘But ifH518 he bringsH935 64a lambH3532 as his offeringH7133 for a sinH2403 offeringH2403, he shall bringH935 a femaleH5347 withoutH8549 defectH8549. 33And 65he shall layH5564 his handH3027 on the headH7218 of the sinH2403 offeringH2403 and slaughterH7819 it as a sinH2403 offeringH2403 66in the placeH4725 whereH834 they slaughterH7819 the burntH5930 offeringH5930. 34And the priestH3548 is to takeH3947 someH4480 of the bloodH1818 of the sinH2403 offeringH2403 with his fingerH676 and putH5414 it on the hornsH7161 of 67the altarH4196 of burntH5930 offeringH5930, and 68allH3605 the rest of its bloodH1818 he shall pourH8210 outH8210 at the baseH3247 of the altarH4196. 35Then he shall removeH5493 69allH3605 its fatH2459, justH3512 asH3512 the fatH2459 of the lambH3775 is removedH5493 from the sacrificeH2077 of the peaceH8002 offeringsH8002, and the priestH3548 shall offerH6999 70it upH6999 inH6999 smokeH6999 on the altarH4196, on the offeringsH801 byH801 fireH801 to the LordH3068. So 71the priestH3548 shall makeH3722 atonementH3722 for him regardingH5921 his sinH2403 whichH834 he has 72committedH2398, and he will be forgivenH5545.
