1Then the LORD said to Moses,1The LORD told Moses,
2“Tell the Israelites to do as follows with one who sins unintentionally against any of the LORD’s commandments and does what is forbidden by them:2"Speak to the Israelis and tell them that if a person inadvertently sins with respect to any of the LORD's commands that should not be violated, but nevertheless he disobeys one of them,
3If the anointed priest sins, bringing guilt on the people, he must bring to the LORD a young bull without blemish as a sin offering for the sin he has committed.3or if the anointed priest sins, thereby bringing guilt on the people, let him bring a young bull without defect as a sin offering to the LORD for his sin that he had committed.
4He must bring the bull to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting before the LORD, lay his hand on the bull’s head, and slaughter it before the LORD.4"He is to bring the bull to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, into the LORD's presence, where he is to lay his hand on the head of the bull and slaughter it in the LORD's presence.
5Then the anointed priest shall take some of the bull’s blood and bring it into the Tent of Meeting.5The anointed priest is to take blood from the bull to the Tent of Meeting.
6The priest is to dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle some of it seven times before the LORD, in front of the veil of the sanctuary.6The priest is to dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle some of the blood seven times in the LORD's presence in front of the curtain of the sanctuary.
7The priest must then put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of fragrant incense that is before the LORD in the Tent of Meeting. And he is to pour out the rest of the bull’s blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.7"The priest is then to put some blood on the horn of the altar that is near the Tent of Meeting as an incense of pleasing aroma in the LORD's presence. He is to pour the rest of the bull's blood for a burnt offering at the base of the altar that is at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
8Then he shall remove all the fat from the bull of the sin offering—the fat that covers the entrails, all the fat that is on them,8Then he is to remove all the fat from the bull for a sin offering—that is, the fat that covers the internal organs, all of the fat that is inside the internal organs,
9both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which he is to remove with the kidneys—9the two kidneys with the fat on them by the loins, and the fatty mass surrounding the liver and kidneys—
10just as the fat is removed from the ox of the peace offering. Then the priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering.10just as it is taken from the bull for a peace offering. Then the priest is to burn it on the altar for burnt offerings.
11But the hide of the bull and all its flesh, with its head and legs and its entrails and dung—11"Now as for the bull's hide, its flesh, its head, its legs, its internal organs, and its dung,
12all the rest of the bull—he must take outside the camp to a ceremonially clean place where the ashes are poured out, and there he must burn it on a wood fire on the ash heap.12along with the rest of the bull, he is to bring it outside the camp to a clean place, where fat ashes are to be poured over it and then it is to be thoroughly burned over wood with fire. It is to be burned where the fat ashes are poured out."
13Now if the whole congregation of Israel strays unintentionally and the matter escapes the notice of the assembly so that they violate any of the LORD’s commandments and incur guilt by doing what is forbidden,13"If the whole congregation of Israel goes astray, and if the sin is hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and if they go astray from one of the LORD's commands that should not be violated, then they will stand guilty.
14when they become aware of the sin they have committed, then the assembly must bring a young bull as a sin offering and present it before the Tent of Meeting.14When the sin that they have committed becomes known, the entire congregation is to bring a young bull as a sin offering to the Tent of Meeting,
15The elders of the congregation are to lay their hands on the bull’s head before the LORD, and it shall be slaughtered before the LORD.15where the elders of the community are to lay their hands on the head of the bull in the LORD's presence and slaughter it.
16Then the anointed priest is to bring some of the bull’s blood into the Tent of Meeting,16The anointed priest is to take blood from the bull and bring it to the Tent of Meeting.
17and he is to dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD in front of the veil.17Then the priest is to dip his finger in the blood, sprinkle some of the blood seven times in front of the curtain in the LORD's presence,
18He is also to put some of the blood on the horns of the altar that is before the LORD in the Tent of Meeting, and he must pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.18then put blood on the horn of the altar near the Tent of Meeting in the LORD's presence. He is to pour the rest of the blood as a burnt offering at the base of the altar that is at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
19And he is to remove all the fat from it and burn it on the altar.19Then he is to remove all the fat from the bull for a sin offering and burn it on the altar.
20He shall offer this bull just as he did the bull for the sin offering; in this way the priest will make atonement on their behalf, and they will be forgiven.20He is to do to this bull what he did to the bull for the sin offering. He is to do it this way so that the priest will make atonement for them and they will be forgiven.
21Then he is to take the bull outside the camp and burn it, just as he burned the first bull. It is the sin offering for the assembly.21Then he is to bring the rest of the bull outside the camp and burn it just as he had burned the first bull. This is the sin offering for the congregation."
22When a leader sins unintentionally and does what is prohibited by any of the commandments of the LORD his God, he incurs guilt.22"When a ruler inadvertently sins, disobeying any one of the commands of the LORD his God that should not be violated, he will be guilty.
23When he becomes aware of the sin he has committed, he must bring an unblemished male goat as his offering.23When the sin that he had committed is disclosed to him, he is to bring his offering: a male goat without defect.
24He is to lay his hand on the head of the goat and slaughter it at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered before the LORD. It is a sin offering.24He is then to lay his hand on the head of the goat and slaughter it at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered—in the LORD's presence—as a sin offering.
25Then the priest is to take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.25Then the priest is to take blood from the sin offering with his finger, put it on the horn of the altar that is used for burnt offerings, and then pour the rest of the blood at the base of the altar that is used for burnt offerings.
26He must burn all its fat on the altar, like the fat of the peace offerings; thus the priest will make atonement for that man’s sin, and he will be forgiven.26He is to burn all the fat on the altar as is done for the fat for the sacrifice of a peace offering. This is how the priest will make atonement for him concerning his sin. It will be forgiven him."
27And if one of the common people sins unintentionally and does what is prohibited by any of the LORD’s commandments, he incurs guilt.27"If any of the common people of the land inadvertently sins by disobeying one of the LORD's commands that should not be violated, he will be guilty.
28When he becomes aware of the sin he has committed, he must bring an unblemished female goat as his offering for that sin.28When the sin that he committed is disclosed to him, he is to bring his offering for his sin that he had committed: a female goat without defect.
29He is to lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it at the place of the burnt offering.29He is to lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it at the place for burnt offering.

In this way the priest will make atonement for him, and he will be forgiven.31He is to remove all the fat, just as the fat was removed from the sacrifice for the peace offering. Then the priest is to burn it on the altar as a pleasing aroma to the LORD. This is how the priest will make atonement for him. It will be forgiven him.
32If, however, he brings a lamb as a sin offering, he must bring an unblemished female.32"If he brings a lamb for his offering, he is to bring a female without defect.
33And he is to lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it as a sin offering at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered.33He is to lay his hand on the head of the offering and slaughter it for a sin offering at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered.

Then he is to pour the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.
35And he shall remove all the fat, just as the fat of the lamb is removed from the peace offerings, and he shall burn it on the altar along with the offerings made by fire to the LORD. In this way the priest will make atonement for him for the sin he has committed, and he will be forgiven.35Then the presenter is to remove all its fat, just as the fat was removed from the sacrifice of the peace offering.
