Leviticus 4
1And
the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2Speak
unto 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 do against any of them:
3If the priest that is anointed do sin according to the sin of the people; then let him bring for his
sin, which he hath sinned, a young bullock without blemish unto the LORD for a sin offering.
4And he shall bring the bullock unto 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.
5And the priest that is anointed shall take of the bullock's blood, and
bring it to the tabernacle of the congregation:
6And
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.
7And 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.
8And 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,
9And the two kidneys,
and the fat that is upon them, which is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away,
10As 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.
11And the skin of the bullock, and all his flesh, with his head, and with
his legs, and his inwards, and his dung,
12Even
the whole bullock shall he carry forth without the camp unto 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.
13And if the whole congregation of Israel 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;
14When 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.
15And
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.
16And the priest that
is anointed shall bring of the bullock's blood to the tabernacle of the congregation:
17And the priest shall dip his finger in some of the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before the
LORD, even before the vail.
18And 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.
19And he shall take all
his fat from him, and burn it upon the altar.
20And
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.
21And
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.
22When 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;
23Or if his sin, wherein
he hath sinned, come to his knowledge; he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a male without blemish:
24And 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.
25And 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.
26And 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.
27And if any one of the common people 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;
28Or if his sin, which he hath sinned, 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.
29And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay
the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering.
30And
the priest shall take of the blood thereof 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.
31And he shall take away all the fat thereof, 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 savour unto the LORD; and the priest shall make an atonement
for him, and it shall be forgiven him.
32And
if he bring a lamb for a sin offering, he shall bring it a female without blemish.
33And 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.
34And
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 thereof at the bottom of the altar:
35And he shall take away all the fat thereof, 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 unto the LORD:
and the priest shall make an atonement for his sin that he hath committed, and it shall be forgiven him.
