Leviticus 4:13-21

13“Now if the whole congregation of Israel sins, but the deed is hidden from the eyes of the community, yet they have done one of Adonai’s mitzvot that are not to be done, then they are guilty.

14When the sin that they committed becomes known, then the community is to offer a young bull for a sin offering, and bring it before the Tent of Meeting.

15The elders of the congregation are to lay their hands on the head of the bull before Adonai, and the bull is to be slaughtered before Adonai.

16The anointed kohen shall bring some of the blood from the bull to the Tent of Meeting.

17Then the kohen is to dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before Adonai, before the curtain.

18He is to put some of the blood on the horns of the altar that is before Adonai, in the Tent of Meeting, and the rest of the blood he is to pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.

19He is to take all its fat from it, and burn it up as smoke on the altar.

20He is also to do with the bull just as he did with the bull of the sin offering—he must do the same with it. So the kohen should make atonement for them—and they will be forgiven.

21Then he is to carry the bull outside the camp and burn it as he burned the first bull. It is the sin offering for the community.
