The Law of Sin Offerings

1 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘If a person sins ^aunintentionally in any of the ^{▼▼ Lit commands of the Lord which are not to be done}things which the Lord has ^ccommanded not to be done, and commits any of them, 3 ^dif the anointed priest sins so as to bring guilt on the people, then let him offer to the Lord a ^{▼▼ Or bull of the herd}bull without defect as a sin offering for the sin he has ^{▼▼ Lit sinned}committed. 4 ‘He shall bring the bull to the doorway of the tent of meeting before the Lord, and ^ghe shall lay his hand on the head of the bull and slay the bull before the Lord. 5 ‘Then the ^hanointed priest is to take some of the blood of the bull and bring it to the tent of meeting, 6 and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle some of the blood seven times before the Lord, in front of ⁱthe veil of the sanctuary. 7 ‘The priest shall also put some of the blood on the horns of ^jthe altar of fragrant incense which is before the Lord in the tent of meeting; and all the blood of the bull he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering which is at the doorway of the tent of meeting. 8 ‘ ^kHe shall remove from it all the fat of the bull of the sin offering: the fat that covers the entrails, and all the fat which is on the entrails, 9 and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them, which is on the loins, and the ^{▼▼ Or appendage on}lobe of the liver, which he shall remove ^mwith the kidneys 10 (just as it is removed from the ox of the sacrifice of peace offerings), and the priest is to offer them up in smoke on the altar of burnt offering. 11 ‘But ⁿthe hide of the bull and all its flesh with its head and its legs and its entrails and its refuse, 12 ^{▼▼ Lit and}that is, all the rest of the bull, he is to bring out to ^pa clean place outside the camp where the ^{▼▼ Or fat ashes are}ashes are poured out, and burn it on wood with fire; where the ^{▼▼ Or fat ashes are}ashes are poured out it shall be burned.

13 ‘ ^sNow if the whole congregation of Israel commits error and the matter ^{▼▼ Lit is hidden from the eyes of}escapes the notice of the assembly, and they commit any of the ^{▼▼ Lit commands of the Lord which are not to be done}things which the Lord has commanded not to be done, and they become guilty; 14 ^vwhen the sin ^{▼▼ Lit concerning which}which they have ^{▼▼ Lit sinned}committed becomes known, then the assembly shall offer ^ya ^{▼▼ Lit son of the herd}bull of the herd for a sin offering and bring it before the tent of meeting. 15 ‘Then ^aathe elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the bull before the Lord, and the bull shall be slain ^abbefore the Lord. 16 ‘Then the anointed priest is to bring some of the blood of the bull to the tent of meeting; 17 and ^acthe priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the Lord, in front of the veil. 18 ‘He shall put some of the blood on the horns of ^adthe altar which is before the Lord ^{▼▼ Lit which is in}in the tent of meeting; and all the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering which is at the doorway of the tent of meeting. 19 ‘ ^afHe shall remove all its fat from it and offer it up in smoke on the altar. 20 ‘He shall also do with the bull just as he did with ^agthe bull of the sin offering; thus he shall do with it. So ^ahthe priest shall make atonement for them, and they will be forgiven. 21 ‘Then he is to bring out the bull to a place outside the camp and burn it as he burned the first bull; it is ^aithe sin offering for the assembly.

22 ‘When ^aja leader ^aksins and unintentionally does any one of all the ^{▼▼ Lit commands of the Lord which are not to be done}things which the Lord his God has commanded not to be done, and he becomes guilty, 23 ^{▼▼ Lit or
,} ^anif his sin ^{▼▼ Lit in which he has sinned}which he has committed is made known to him, he shall bring for his offering a ^{▼▼ Lit buck of the goats
,} ^aqgoat, ^ara male without defect. 24 ‘He shall lay his hand on the head of the male goat and slay it in the place where ^{▼▼ Lit one slays}they slay the burnt offering before the Lord; it is a sin offering. 25 ‘Then the priest is to take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it on ^atthe horns of the altar of burnt offering; and the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering. 26 ‘ ^auAll its fat he shall offer up in smoke on the altar as in the case of the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings. Thus ^avthe priest shall make atonement for him in regard to his sin, and he will be forgiven.

27 ‘Now if ^{▼▼ Lit one soul}anyone of ^{▼▼ Lit the people of the land}the common people sins ^ayunintentionally in doing any of the ^{▼▼ Lit commands of the Lord which are not to be done}things which the Lord has commanded not to be done, and becomes guilty, 28 ^{▼▼ Lit or
,} ^bbif his sin which he has ^{▼▼ Lit sinned}committed is made known to him, then he shall bring for his offering a ^{▼▼ Or female goat
,} ^begoat, a ^bffemale without defect, for his sin which he has ^{▼▼ Lit sinned}committed. 29 ‘ ^bhHe shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and ^bislay the sin offering at the place of the burnt offering. 30 ‘The priest shall take some of its blood with his finger and put it on the horns of ^bjthe altar of burnt offering; and ^bkall the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar. 31 ‘ ^blThen he shall remove all its fat, just as the fat was removed from the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall offer it up in smoke on the altar for ^bma soothing aroma to the Lord. Thus the priest shall make atonement for him, ^{▼▼ Or so that he may be}and he will be forgiven.

32 ‘But if he brings ^boa lamb as his offering for a sin offering, he shall bring it, a female without defect. 33 ‘ ^bpHe shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slay it for a sin offering ^bqin the place where ^{▼▼ Lit one slays}they slay the burnt offering. 34 ‘The priest is to take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it on the horns of ^bsthe altar of burnt offering, and ^btall the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar. 35 ‘Then he shall remove ^buall its fat, just as the fat of the lamb is removed from the sacrifice of the peace offerings, and the priest shall offer them up in smoke on the altar, on the offerings by fire to the Lord. Thus ^bvthe priest shall make atonement for him in regard to his sin which he has ^{▼▼ Lit sinned}committed, and he will be forgiven.
