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