The Sin Offering
1Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2“Speak to the children of Israel, saying: #Lev. 5:15–18; Num. 15:22–30; 1 Sam. 14:27; Acts 3:17‘If a person sins unintentionally against any of the commandments of the Lord in anything which ought not to be done, and does any of them, 3#Ex. 40:15; Lev. 8:12if the anointed priest sins, bringing guilt on the people, then let him offer to the Lord for his sin which he has sinned #Lev. 3:1; 9:2a young bull without blemish as a #Lev. 9:7sin offering. 4He shall bring the bull #Lev. 1:3, 4; 4:15; Num. 8:12to the door of the tabernacle of meeting before the Lord, lay his hand on the bull’s head, and kill the bull before the Lord. 5Then the anointed priest shall #Lev. 16:14; Num. 19:4take some of the bull’s blood and bring it to the tabernacle of meeting. 6The priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle some of the blood seven times before the Lord, in front of the #Ex. 40:21, 26veil of the sanctuary. 7And the priest shall #Lev. 4:18, 25, 30, 34; 8:15; 9:9; 16:18put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of sweet incense before the Lord, which is in the tabernacle of meeting; and he shall pour #Ex. 40:5, 6; Lev. 5:9the remaining blood of the bull at the base of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. 8He shall take from it all the fat of the bull as the sin offering. The fat that covers the entrails and all the fat which is on the entrails, 9the two kidneys and the fat that is on them by the flanks, and the fatty lobe attached to the liver above the kidneys, he shall remove, 10#Lev. 3:3–5as it was taken from the bull of the sacrifice of the peace offering; and the priest shall burn them on the altar of the burnt offering. 11#Ex. 29:14; Lev. 9:11; Num. 19:5But the bull’s hide and all its flesh, with its head and legs, its entrails and offal— 12the whole bull he shall carry outside the camp to a clean place, #Lev. 4:21; 6:10, 11; 16:27where the ashes are poured out, and #(Heb. 13:11, 12)burn it on wood with fire; where the ashes are poured out it shall be burned.
13‘Now #Num. 15:24–26; Josh. 7:11if the whole congregation of Israel sins unintentionally, #Lev. 5:2–4, 17and 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; 14when 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. 15And the elders of the congregation #Lev. 1:3, 4shall lay their hands on the head of the bull before the Lord. Then the bull shall be killed before the Lord. 16#Lev. 4:5; (Heb. 9:12–14)The anointed priest shall bring some of the bull’s blood to the tabernacle of meeting. 17Then the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the Lord, in front of the veil. 18And 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. 19He shall take all the fat from it and burn it on the altar. 20And he shall do #Lev. 4:3with the bull as he did with the bull as a sin offering; thus he shall do with it. #Lev. 1:4; Num. 15:25So the priest shall make atonement for them, and it shall be forgiven them. 21Then 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 a ruler has sinned, and #Lev. 4:2, 13, 27done something unintentionally against any of the commandments of the Lord his God in anything which should not be done, and is guilty, 23or #Lev. 4:14; 5:4if his sin which he has committed comes to his knowledge, he shall bring as his offering a kid of the goats, a male without blemish. 24And #Lev. 4:4; (Is. 53:6)he shall lay his hand on the head of the goat, and kill it at the place where they kill the burnt offering before the Lord. It is a sin offering. 25#Lev. 4:7, 18, 30, 34The priest shall 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 its blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering. 26And he shall burn all its fat on the altar, like #Lev. 3:3–5the fat of the sacrifice of the peace offering. #Lev. 4:20; Num. 15:28So the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.
27#Lev. 4:2; Num. 15:27‘If anyone of the common people sins unintentionally by doing something against any of the commandments of the Lord in anything which ought not to be done, and is guilty, 28or #Lev. 4:23if his sin which he has committed comes to his knowledge, then he shall bring as his offering a kid of the goats, a female without blemish, for his sin which he has committed. 29#Lev. 1:4; 4:4, 24And he shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and kill the sin offering at the place of the burnt offering. 30Then the priest shall take some of its blood with his finger, put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour all the remaining blood at the base of the altar. 31#Lev. 3:14He shall remove all its fat, #Lev. 3:3, 4as fat is removed from the sacrifice of the peace offering; and the priest shall burn it on the altar for a #Gen. 8:21; Ex. 29:18; Lev. 1:9, 13; 2:2, 9, 12sweet aroma to the Lord. #Lev. 4:26So the priest shall make atonement for him, and it shall be forgiven him.
32‘If he brings a lamb as his sin offering, #Lev. 4:28he shall bring a female without blemish. 33Then he shall #Lev. 1:4; Num. 8:12lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and kill it as a sin offering at the place where they kill the burnt offering. 34The priest shall 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 all the remaining blood at the base of the altar. 35He shall remove all its fat, as the fat of the lamb is removed from the sacrifice of the peace offering. Then the priest shall burn it on the altar, #Lev. 3:5according to the offerings made by fire to the Lord. #Lev. 4:26, 31So the priest shall make atonement for his sin that he has committed, and it shall be forgiven him.
