* "
If the whole congregation of Israel commits a sin unwittingly and the thing is hidden from the eyes of the assembly ,
and they do any one of the things which the LORD has commanded not to be done and are guilty ;
*
when the sin which they have committed becomes known ,
the assembly shall offer a young bull for a sin offering and bring it before the tent of meeting ;
*
and the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands upon the head of the bull before the LORD ,
and the bull shall be killed before the LORD .
*
Then the anointed priest shall bring some of the blood of the bull to the tent of meeting ,
*
and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD in front of the veil .
*
And he shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar which is in the tent of meeting before the LORD ;
and the rest of the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering which is at the door of the tent of meeting .
*
And all its fat he shall take from it and burn upon the altar .
*
Thus shall he do with the bull ;
as he did with the bull of the sin offering ,
so shall he do with this ;
and the priest shall make atonement for them ,
and they shall be forgiven .
*
And he shall carry forth the bull outside the camp ,
and burn it as he burned the first bull ;
it is the sin offering for the assembly .
* "
When a ruler sins ,
doing unwittingly any one of all the things which the LORD his God has commanded not to be done ,
and is guilty ,
*
if the sin which he has committed is made known to him ,
he shall bring as his offering a goat ,
a male without blemish ,
*
and 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 .
*
Then the priest shall 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 pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering .
*
And all its fat he shall burn on the altar ,
like the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings ;
so the priest shall make atonement for him for his sin ,
and he shall be forgiven .
* "
If any one of the common people sins unwittingly in doing any one of the things which the LORD has commanded not to be done ,
and is guilty ,
*
when the sin which he has committed is made known to him he shall bring for his offering a goat ,
a female without blemish ,
for his sin which he has committed .
*
And he shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering ,
and kill the sin offering in the place of burnt offering .
*
And the priest shall take some of its blood with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering ,
and pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar .
*
And all its fat he shall remove ,
as the fat is removed from the peace offerings ,
and the priest shall burn it upon the altar for a pleasing odor to the LORD ;
and the priest shall make atonement for him ,
and he shall be forgiven .

If he brings a lamb as his offering for a sin offering ,
he shall bring a female without blemish ,
*
and lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering ,
and kill it for a sin offering in the place where they kill the burnt offering .
*
Then the priest shall 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 pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar .
*
And all its fat he shall remove as the fat of the lamb is removed from the sacrifice of peace offerings ,
and the priest shall burn it on the altar ,
upon the offerings by fire to the LORD ;
and the priest shall make atonement for him for the sin which he has committed ,
and he shall be forgiven .
