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 he is to offer to the Lord a ^{▼▼Lit bull of the herd}bull without defect as a sin offering for his sin which 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 slaughter 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 rest of 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 And ^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, along with its head, its legs, 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 fatty ashes are poured out, and burn it on wood with fire; where the fatty ashes are poured out it shall be burned.

13 ‘ ^qNow if the entire congregation of Israel does wrong unintentionally 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 ^twhen the sin ^{▼▼Lit concerning which}which they have ^{▼▼Lit sinned}committed becomes known, then the assembly shall offer ^wa ^{▼▼Lit son of the herd}bull of the herd as a sin offering and bring it in front of the tent of meeting. 15 Then ^ythe elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the bull before the Lord, and the bull shall be slaughtered ^zbefore the Lord. 16 Then the anointed priest is to bring some of the blood of the bull to the tent of meeting; 17 and ^aathe priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the Lord, in front of the veil. 18 He shall then put some of the blood on the horns of ^abthe altar which is before the Lord ^{▼▼Lit which is in}in the tent of meeting; and all the rest of 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 And ^adhe 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 ^aethe bull of the sin offering; he shall do the same with it. So ^afthe priest shall make atonement for them, and they will be forgiven. 21 Then he is to bring the bull out to a place outside the camp and burn it just as he burned the first bull; it is ^agthe sin offering for the assembly.

22 ‘When ^aha leader ^aisins and unintentionally does any of ^{▼▼Lit all commands of the Lord which are not to be done}the things which the Lord his God has commanded not to be done, and he becomes guilty, 23 ^{▼▼Lit or
,} ^alif his sin ^{▼▼Lit in which he has sinned}which he has committed is made known to him, he shall bring as his offering a ^{▼▼Lit buck of the goats
,} ^aogoat, ^apa male without defect. 24 And he shall lay his hand on the head of the male goat and slaughter it in the place where they slaughter 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 ^aqthe 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 And he shall offer ^arall its fat up in smoke on the altar as in the case of the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings. So ^asthe priest shall make atonement for him regarding his sin, and he will be forgiven.

27 ‘Now if ^{▼▼Lit one soul}anyone of the ^{▼▼Lit people of the land}common people sins ^avunintentionally by 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
,} ^ayif his sin which he has ^{▼▼Lit sinned}committed is made known to him, then he shall bring as his offering a ^{▼▼Or female goat
,} ^bbgoat, a ^bcfemale without defect, for his sin which he has ^{▼▼Lit sinned}committed. 29 And ^behe shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and ^bfslaughter the sin offering at the place of the burnt offering. 30 The priest shall then take some of its blood with his finger and put it on the horns of ^bgthe altar of burnt offering; and ^bhall the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar. 31 ^biThen 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 as ^bja soothing aroma to the Lord. So the priest shall make atonement for him, ^{▼▼Or so that he may be}and he will be forgiven.

32 ‘But if he brings ^bla lamb as his offering for a sin offering, he shall bring a female without defect. 33 And ^bmhe shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it as a sin offering ^bnin the place where they slaughter the burnt offering. 34 And the priest is to take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it on the horns of ^bothe altar of burnt offering, and ^bpall the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar. 35 Then he shall remove ^bqall its fat, just as the fat of the lamb is removed from the sacrifice of the peace offerings, and the priest shall offer ^{▼▼Lit them}it up in smoke on the altar, on the offerings by fire to the Lord. So ^bsthe priest shall make atonement for him regarding his sin which he has ^{▼▼Lit sinned}committed, and he will be forgiven.
