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 Ithings° which° the LORD° has bcommanded° not to be done°, and commits° any° of them, 3 aif° the anointed° priest° sins° so as to bring° guilt° on the people°, then let him offer° to the LORD° a Ibull°°° without° defect° as a sin° offering° for the sin° he has IIcommitted°. 4 He shall bring° the bull° to the doorway° of the tent° of meeting° before° the LORD°, and ahe shall lay° his hand° on the head° of the bull° and slay° the bull° before° the LORD°. 5 Then the aanointed° 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 athe veil° of the sanctuary°. 7 The priest° shall also put° some° of the blood° on the horns° of athe altar° of fragrant° incense° which° is before° the LORD° in the tent° of meeting°; and all° 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 aHe 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 Ilobe° of the liver°, which° he shall remove° awith 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 athe hide° of the bull° and all° its flesh° with its head° and its legs° and its entrails° and its refuse°, 12 Ithat is, all° [the rest of] the bull°, he is to bring° out to aa clean° place° outside°° the camp° where° the IIashes° are poured° out, and burn° it on wood° with fire°; where° the IIashes° are poured° out it shall be burned°.
