Leviticus 4:13-26
13 a“If the whole congregation of Israel sins unintentionally ▼▼Or makes a mistake
and cthe thing is hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they do any one of the things that by the Lord’s commandments ought not to be done, and they realize their guilt, ▼▼Or suffer for their guilt, or are guilty; also verses 22, 27, and chapter 5
14 ewhen the sin which they have committed becomes known, the assembly shall offer a bull from the herd for a sin offering and bring it in front of the tent of meeting. 15And the elders of the congregation fshall lay their hands on the head of the bull before the Lord, and the bull shall be killed before the Lord. 16Then gthe anointed priest shall bring some of the blood of the bull into the tent of meeting, 17and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the Lord in front of the veil. 18And he shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar that is in the tent of meeting before the Lord, and the rest of the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering that is at the entrance of the tent of meeting. 19And all its fat he shall take from it and burn on the altar. 20Thus shall he do with the bull. As he did hwith the bull of the sin offering, so shall he do with this. iAnd the priest shall make atonement for them, and they shall be forgiven. 21And he shall carry the bull joutside the camp and burn it up as he burned the first bull; it is the sin offering for the assembly. 22“When a leader sins, kdoing unintentionally any one of all the things that by the commandments of the Lord his God ought not to be done, and realizes his guilt, 23or lthe sin which he has committed is made known to him, he shall bring as his offering a goat, a male without blemish, 24and mshall lay his hand on the head of the goat and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before the Lord; it is a sin offering. 25 nThen the priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering and pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering. 26And all its fat he shall burn on the altar, like othe fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings. So pthe priest shall make atonement for him for his sin, and he shall be forgiven.
