¹ And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,² Speak to the children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin through ignorance against any of the commandments of the LORD [concerning things] which ought not to be done, and shall violate any of them:³ If the priest that is anointed shall sin according to the sin of the people; then let him bring, for his sin which he hath sinned, a young bullock without blemish to the LORD for a sin-offering.⁴ And he shall bring the bullock to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD; and shall lay his hand upon the bullock's head, and kill the bullock before the LORD.⁵ And the priest that is anointed shall take of the bullock's blood, and bring it to the tabernacle of the congregation:⁶ And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the blood seven times before the LORD, before the vail of the sanctuary.⁷ And the priest shall put [some] of the blood upon the horns of the altar of sweet incense before the LORD, which [is] in the tabernacle of the congregation; and shall pour all the blood of the bullock at the bottom of the altar of the burnt-offering, which [is at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.⁸ And he shall take off from it all the fat of the bullock for the sin-offering; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that [is] upon the inwards,⁹ And the two kidneys, and the fat that [is] upon them, which [is] by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, that shall he take away,¹⁰ As it was taken off from the bullock of the sacrifice of peace-offerings: and the priest shall burn them upon the altar of the burnt-offering.¹¹ And the skin of the bullock, and all his flesh, with his head, and with his legs, and his inwards, and his dung,¹² Even the whole bullock shall he carry forth without the camp to a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn him on the wood with fire: where the ashes are poured out shall he be burnt.

¹³ And if the whole congregation of Israel shall sin through ignorance, and the thing be hid from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done [somewhat against] any of the commandments of the LORD [concerning things] which should not be done, and are guilty;¹⁴ When the sin which they have sinned against it is known, then the congregation shall offer a young bullock for the sin, and bring him before the tabernacle of the congregation.¹⁵ And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands upon the head of the bullock before the LORD: and the bullock shall be killed before the LORD.¹⁶ And the priest that is anointed shall bring of the bullock's blood to the tabernacle of the congregation:¹⁷ And the priest shall dip his finger [in some] of the blood, and sprinkle [it] seven times before the LORD, [even] before the vail.¹⁸ And he shall put [some] of the blood upon the horns of the altar which [is] before the LORD, that [is] in the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall pour out all the blood at the bottom of the altar of the burnt-offering, which [is] at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.¹⁹ And he shall take all his fat from him, and burn [it] upon the altar.²⁰ And he shall do with the bullock as he did with the bullock for a sin-offering, so shall he do with this: and the priest shall make an atonement for them, and it shall be forgiven them.²¹ And he shall carry forth the bullock without the camp, and burn him as he burned the first bullock: it [is] a sin-offering for the congregation.

²² When a ruler hath sinned, and done [somewhat] through ignorance [against] any of the commandments of the LORD his God [concerning things] which should not be done, and is guilty;²³ Or if his sin, in which he hath sinned, shall come to his knowledge; he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a male without blemish:²⁴ And he shall lay his hand upon 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 And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin-offering with his finger, and put [it] upon the horns of the altar of burnt-offering, and shall pour out his blood at the bottom of the altar of burnt-offering.²⁶ And he shall burn all his fat upon the altar, as the fat of the sacrifice of peace-offerings: and the priest shall make an atonement for him as concerning his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.

²⁷ And if any one of the common people shall sin through ignorance, while he doeth [somewhat against] any of the commandments of the LORD [concerning things] which ought not to be done, and be guilty;²⁸ Or if his sin which he hath sinned shall come to his knowledge: then he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a female without blemish, for his sin which he hath sinned.²⁹ And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin-offering, and slay the sin-offering in the place of the burnt-offering.³⁰ And the priest shall take of the blood of it with his finger, and put [it] upon the horns of the altar of burnt-offering, and shall pour out all the blood thereof at the bottom of the altar.³¹ And he shall take away all its fat, as the fat is taken away from off the sacrifice of peace-offerings; and the priest shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savor to the LORD; and the priest shall make an atonement for him, and it shall be forgiven him.³² And if he shall bring a lamb for a sin-offering, he shall bring it a female without blemish.³³ And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin-offering, and slay it for a sin-offering in the place where they kill the burnt-offering.³⁴ And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin-offering with his finger, and put [it] upon the horns of the altar of burnt-offering, and shall pour out all the blood of it at the bottom of the altar:³⁵ And he shall take away all its fat, as the fat of the lamb is taken away from the sacrifice of the peace-offerings; and the priest shall burn them upon the altar, according to the offerings made by fire to the LORD: and the priest shall make an atonement for his sin that he hath committed, and it shall be forgiven him.
