4:1   Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

4:2   "Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, 'If a person sins unintentionally in any of the things which the LORD has commanded not to do, and commits any of them,

4:3   if the anointed priest sins so as to bring guilt on the people, then let him offer to the LORD a bull without defect as a sin offering for the sin he has committed.

4:4   'He shall bring the bull to the doorway of the tent of meeting before the LORD, and he shall lay his hand on the head of the bull and slay the bull before the LORD.

4:5   'Then the anointed priest will take some of the blood of the bull and bring it to the tent of meeting,

4:6   and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle some of the blood seven times before the LORD, in front of the veil of the sanctuary.

4:7  'The priest shall also put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of fragrant incense which spreads 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 lies at the doorway of the tent of meeting.

4:8   ' He 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 clings to the entrails,

4:9   and the two kidneys with the fat that clings to on them, which appears on the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which he shall remove with the kidneys

4:10   (just as you remove from the ox of the sacrifice of peace offerings), and the priest will offer them up in smoke on the altar of burnt offering.

4:11  'But the hide of the bull and all its flesh with its head and its legs and its entrails and its refuse,

4:12   namely, all the rest of the bull, he will bring out to a clean place outside the camp where he will pour the ashes out, and burn it on wood with fire; where he will pour out the burned ashes .

4:13   ' Now if the whole congregation of Israel commits error and the matter escapes the notice of the assembly, and they commit any of the things which the LORD has commanded them not to do, and they become guilty;

4:14   ( when the sin which they have committed becomes known, then the assembly shall offer a bull of the herd for a sin offering and bring it before the tent of meeting.

4:15   'Then the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the bull before the LORD, and they shall slay the bull before the LORD.

4:16   'Then the anointed priest will bring some of the blood of the bull to the tent of meeting;

4:17   and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD, in front of the veil.

4:18   'He shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar which stands before the LORD in the tent of meeting; and all the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering which lies at the doorway of the tent of meeting.

4:19   ' He shall remove all its fat from it and offer it up in smoke on the altar.

4:20  'He shall also do with the bull just as he did with the bull of the sin offering; thus he shall do with it So the priest shall make atonement for them, and they will receive forgiveness.

4:21   'Then he will bring out the bull to a place outside the camp and burn it as he burned the first bull; it constitutes the sin offering for the assembly.

4:22   'When a leader sins and unintentionally does any one of all the things which the LORD his God has commanded not to do, and he becomes guilty,

4:23   if his sin which he has committed becomes known to him, he shall bring for his offering a goat, a male without defect.

4:24   'He shall lay his hand on the head of the male goat and slay it in the place where they slay the burnt offering before the LORD; it constitutes a sin offering.

4:25  'Then the priest will take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering; and the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering.

4:26  ' All its fat he shall offer up in smoke on the altar as in the case of the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings Thus the priest shall make atonement for him in regard to his sin, and he will receive forgiveness.

4:27  'Now if anyone of the common people sins unintentionally in doing any of the things which the LORD has commanded not to do, and becomes guilty,

4:28   if his sin which he has committed becomes known to him, then he shall bring for his offering a goat, a female without defect, for his sin which he has committed.

4:29  ' He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slay the sin offering at the place of the burnt offering.

4:30  'The priest shall take some of its blood with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering; and all the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar.

4:31  ' Then he shall remove all its fat, just as he removed the fat from the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall offer it up in smoke on the altar for a soothing aroma to the LORD. Thus the priest shall make atonement for him, and he will receive forgiveness.

4:32   'But if he brings a lamb as his offering for a sin offering, he shall bring it, a female without defect.

4:33   ' He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slay it for a sin offering in the place where they slay the burnt offering.

4:34  'The priest will take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and all the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar.

4:35  'Then he shall remove all its fat, just as he removes the fat of the lamb from the sacrifice of the peace offerings, and the priest shall offer them up in smoke on the altar, on the offerings by fire to the LORD Thus the priest shall make atonement for him in regard to his sin which he has committed, and he will receive forgiveness.
