Leviticus 4:12-35

121that is, allH3605 the rest of the bullH6499, he is to bringH3318 outH3318 to 2a 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‘3Now ifH518 the entireH3605 congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478 doesH7686 wrongH7686 unintentionallyH7686 and the matterH1697 4escapesH5956 the noticeH5869 of the assemblyH6951, and they commitH6213 anyH259 of the 5thingsH4687 whichH834 the LordH3068 has commandedH4687 not to be doneH6213, and they becomeH816 guiltyH816; 146when the sinH2403 7whichH834 they have 8committedH2398 becomesH3045 knownH3045, then the assemblyH6951 shall offerH7126 9a 10bullH6499H1121 of the herdH1241 as a sinH2403 offeringH2403 and bringH935 it in frontH6440 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150. 15Then 11the eldersH2205 of the congregationH5712 shall layH5564 their handsH3027 on the headH7218 of the bullH6499 beforeH6440 the LordH3068, and the bullH6499 shall be slaughteredH7819 12beforeH6440 the LordH3068. 16Then the anointedH4899 priestH3548 is to bringH935 someH4480 of the bloodH1818 of the bullH6499 to the tentH168 of meetingH4150; 17and 13the 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 14the altarH4196 whichH834 is beforeH6440 the LordH3068 15in 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 16he 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 17the bullH6499 of the sinH2403 offeringH2403; he shall doH6213 the sameH3651 with it. So 18the 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 19the sinH2403 offeringH2403 for the assemblyH6951.

22‘WhenH834 20a leaderH5387 21sinsH2398 and unintentionallyH7684 doesH6213 anyH259 of 22the thingsH4687 whichH834 the LordH3068 his GodH430 has commandedH4687 not to be doneH6213, and he becomesH816 guiltyH816, 232324ifH176 his sinH2403 25whichH834 he has committedH2398 is madeH3045 knownH3045 to him, he shall bringH935 as his offeringH7133 a 2627goatH8163H5795, 28a 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 29the 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 30allH3605 its fatH2459 upH6999 inH6999 smokeH6999 on the altarH4196 as in the case of the fatH2459 of the sacrificeH2077 of peaceH8002 offeringsH8002. So 31the priestH3548 shall makeH3722 atonementH3722 for him regardingH4480 his sinH2403, and he will be forgivenH5545.

27‘Now ifH518 32anyoneH5315H259 of the 33commonH776 peopleH5971 sinsH2398 34unintentionallyH7684 by doingH6213 anyH259 of the 35thingsH4687 whichH834 the LordH3068 has commandedH4687 not to be doneH6213, and becomesH816 guiltyH816, 283637ifH176 his sinH2403 whichH834 he has 38committedH2398 is madeH3045 knownH3045 to him, then he shall bringH935 as his offeringH7133 a 3940goatH8166, a 41femaleH5347 withoutH8549 defectH8549, for his sinH2403 whichH834 he has 42committedH2398. 29And 43he shall layH5564 his handH3027 on the headH7218 of the sinH2403 offeringH2403 and 44slaughterH7819 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 45the altarH4196 of burntH5930 offeringH5930; and 46allH3605 the rest of its bloodH1818 he shall pourH8210 outH8210 at the baseH3247 of the altarH4196. 3147Then 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 48a soothingH5207 aromaH7381 to the LordH3068. So the priestH3548 shall makeH3722 atonementH3722 for him, 49and he will be forgivenH5545.

32‘But ifH518 he bringsH935 50a lambH3532 as his offeringH7133 for a sinH2403 offeringH2403, he shall bringH935 a femaleH5347 withoutH8549 defectH8549. 33And 51he shall layH5564 his handH3027 on the headH7218 of the sinH2403 offeringH2403 and slaughterH7819 it as a sinH2403 offeringH2403 52in 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 53the altarH4196 of burntH5930 offeringH5930, and 54allH3605 the rest of its bloodH1818 he shall pourH8210 outH8210 at the baseH3247 of the altarH4196. 35Then he shall removeH5493 55allH3605 its fatH2459, justH3512 asH3512 the fatH2459 of the lambH3775 is removedH5493 from the sacrificeH2077 of the peaceH8002 offeringsH8002, and the priestH3548 shall offerH6999 56it upH6999 inH6999 smokeH6999 on the altarH4196, on the offeringsH801 byH801 fireH801 to the LordH3068. So 57the priestH3548 shall makeH3722 atonementH3722 for him regardingH5921 his sinH2403 whichH834 he has 58committedH2398, and he will be forgivenH5545.
