11 aBut the bull’s hide and all its flesh, with its head and legs, its entrails and offal—
12 the whole bull he shall carry outside the camp to a clean place, awhere the ashes are poured out, and bburn it on wood with fire; where the ashes are poured out it shall be burned.
13 ‘Now aif the whole congregation of Israel sins unintentionally, band the thing is hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done something against any of the commandments of the Lord in anything which should not be done, and are guilty;
14 when the sin which they have committed becomes known, then the assembly shall offer a young bull for the sin, and bring it before the tabernacle of meeting.
15 And the elders of the congregation ashall lay their hands on the head of the bull before the Lord. Then the bull shall be killed before the Lord.
16 aThe anointed priest shall bring some of the bull’s blood to the tabernacle of meeting.
17 Then the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the Lord, in front of the veil.
18 And he shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar which is before the Lord, which is in the tabernacle of meeting; and he shall pour the remaining blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of meeting.
19 He shall take all the fat from it and burn it on the altar.
20 And he shall do awith the bull as he did with the bull as a sin offering; thus he shall do with it. bSo the priest shall make atonement for them, and it shall be forgiven them.
21 Then he shall carry the bull outside the camp, and burn it as he burned the first bull. It is a sin offering for the assembly.
22 ‘When a1 ruler has sinned, and adone something unintentionally against any of the commandments of the Lord his God in anything which should not be done, and is guilty,
23 or aif his sin which he has committed1 comes to his knowledge, he shall bring as his offering a kid of the goats, a male without blemish.
