*
Now the LORD spoke to Moses ,
saying ,
* "
Speak to the children of Israel ,
saying : "
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 ,
*
if the anointed priest sins ,
bringing guilt on the people ,
then let him offer to the LORD for his sin which he has sinned a young bull without blemish as a sin offering .
*
He shall bring the bull to 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 .
*
Then the anointed priest shall take some of the bull '
s blood and bring it to the tabernacle of meeting .
*
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 .
*
And the priest shall put 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 the 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 .
*
He 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 ,
*
the 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 ,
*
as 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 .
*
But the bull '
s hide and all its flesh ,
with its head and legs ,
its entrails and offal --
*
the whole bull he shall carry outside the camp to a clean place ,
where the ashes are poured out ,
and burn it on wood with fire ;
where the ashes are poured out it shall be burned .
* "
Now if the whole congregation of Israel sins unintentionally ,
and 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 ;
*
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 .
*
And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the bull before the LORD .
Then the bull shall be killed before the LORD .
*
The anointed priest shall bring some of the bull '
s blood to the tabernacle of meeting .
*
Then 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 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 .
*
He shall take all the fat from it and burn it on the altar .
*
And he shall do with the bull as he did with the bull as a sin offering ;
thus he shall do with it .
So the priest shall make atonement for them ,
and it shall be forgiven them .
*
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 .
* "
When a ruler has sinned ,
and done something unintentionally against any of the commandments of the LORD his God in anything which should not be done ,
and is guilty ,
*
or if 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 .
*
And 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 .
*
The 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 .
*
And he shall burn all its fat on the altar ,
like the fat of the sacrifice of the peace offering .
So the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin ,
and it shall be forgiven him .
* "
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 ,
*
or if 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 .
*
And he shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering ,
and kill the sin offering at the place of the burnt offering .
*
Then 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 .
*
He shall remove all its fat ,
as fat is removed from the sacrifice of the peace offering ;
and the priest shall burn it on the altar for a sweet aroma to the LORD .
So the priest shall make atonement for him ,
and it shall be forgiven him .
* "
If he brings a lamb as his sin offering ,
he shall bring a female without blemish .
*
Then he shall lay 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 .
*
The 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 .
*
He 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 ,
according to the offerings made by fire to the LORD .
So the priest shall make atonement for his sin that he has committed ,
and it shall be forgiven him .
* "
If a person sins in hearing the utterance of an oath ,
and is a witness ,
whether he has seen or known of the matter--if he does not tell it ,
he bears guilt .
* "
Or if a person touches any unclean thing ,
whether it is the carcass of an unclean beast ,
or the carcass of unclean livestock ,
or the carcass of unclean creeping things ,
and he is unaware of it ,
he also shall be unclean and guilty .
*
Or if he touches human uncleanness--whatever uncleanness with which a man may be defiled ,
and he is unaware of it--when he realizes it ,
then he shall be guilty .
* "
Or if a person swears ,
speaking thoughtlessly with his lips to do evil or to do good ,
whatever it is that a man may pronounce by an oath ,
and he is unaware of it--when he realizes it ,
then he shall be guilty in any of these matters .
* "
And it shall be ,
when he is guilty in any of these matters ,
that he shall confess that he has sinned in that thing ;
*
and he shall bring his trespass offering to the LORD for his sin which he has committed ,
a female from the flock ,
a lamb or a kid of the goats as a sin offering .
So the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin .
* "
If he is not able to bring a lamb ,
then he shall bring to the LORD ,
for his trespass which he has committed ,
two turtledoves or two young pigeons :
one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering .
*
And he shall bring them to the priest ,
who shall offer that which is for the sin offering first ,
and wring off its head from its neck ,
but shall not divide it completely .
*
Then he shall sprinkle some of the blood of the sin offering on the side of the altar ,
and the rest of the blood shall be drained out at the base of the altar .
It is a sin offering .
*
And he shall offer the second as a burnt offering according to the prescribed manner .
So the priest shall make atonement on his behalf for his sin which he has committed ,
and it shall be forgiven him .
* "
But if he is not able to bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons ,
then he who sinned shall bring for his offering one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour as a sin offering .
He shall put no oil on it ,
nor shall he put frankincense on it ,
for it is a sin offering .
*
Then he shall bring it to the priest ,
and the priest shall take his handful of it as a memorial portion ,
and burn it on the altar according to the offerings made by fire to the LORD .
It is a sin offering .
*
The priest shall make atonement for him ,
for his sin that he has committed in any of these matters ;
and it shall be forgiven him .
The rest shall be the priest '
s as a grain offering ."'
*
Then the LORD spoke to Moses ,
saying :
* "
If a person commits a trespass ,
and sins unintentionally in regard to the holy things of the LORD ,
then he shall bring to the LORD as his trespass offering a ram without blemish from the flocks ,
with your valuation in shekels of silver according to the shekel of the sanctuary ,
as a trespass offering .
*
And he shall make restitution for the harm that he has done in regard to the holy thing ,
and shall add one-fifth to it and give it to the priest .
So the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering ,
and it shall be forgiven him .
* "
If a person sins ,
and commits any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the commandments of the LORD ,
though he does not know it ,
yet he is guilty and shall bear his iniquity .
*
And he shall bring to the priest a ram without blemish from the flock ,
with your valuation ,
as a trespass offering .
So the priest shall make atonement for him regarding his ignorance in which he erred and did not know it ,
and it shall be forgiven him .
*
It is a trespass offering ;
he has certainly trespassed against the LORD ."
*
And the LORD spoke to Moses ,
saying :
* "
If a person sins and commits a trespass against the LORD by lying to his neighbor about what was delivered to him for safekeeping ,
or about a pledge ,
or about a robbery ,
or if he has extorted from his neighbor ,
*
or if he has found what was lost and lies concerning it ,
and swears falsely--in any one of these things that a man may do in which he sins :
*
then it shall be ,
because he has sinned and is guilty ,
that he shall restore what he has stolen ,
or the thing which he has extorted ,
or what was delivered to him for safekeeping ,
or the lost thing which he found ,
*
or all that about which he has sworn falsely .
He shall restore its full value ,
add one-fifth more to it ,
and give it to whomever it belongs ,
on the day of his trespass offering .
*
And he shall bring his trespass offering to the LORD ,
a ram without blemish from the flock ,
with your valuation ,
as a trespass offering ,
to the priest .
*
So the priest shall make atonement for him before the LORD ,
and he shall be forgiven for any one of these things that he may have done in which he trespasses ."
*
Then the LORD spoke to Moses ,
saying ,
* "
Command Aaron and his sons ,
saying , "
This is the law of the burnt offering :
The burnt offering shall be on the hearth upon the altar all night until morning ,
and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning on it .
*
And the priest shall put on his linen garment ,
and his linen trousers he shall put on his body ,
and take up the ashes of the burnt offering which the fire has consumed on the altar ,
and he shall put them beside the altar .
*
Then he shall take off his garments ,
put on other garments ,
and carry the ashes outside the camp to a clean place .
*
And the fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it ;
it shall not be put out .
And the priest shall burn wood on it every morning ,
and lay the burnt offering in order on it ;
and he shall burn on it the fat of the peace offerings .
*
A fire shall always be burning on the altar ;
it shall never go out .
* "
This is the law of the grain offering :
The sons of Aaron shall offer it on the altar before the LORD .
*
He shall take from it his handful of the fine flour of the grain offering ,
with its oil ,
and all the frankincense which is on the grain offering ,
and shall burn it on the altar for a sweet aroma ,
as a memorial to the LORD .
*
And the remainder of it Aaron and his sons shall eat ;
with unleavened bread it shall be eaten in a holy place ;
in the court of the tabernacle of meeting they shall eat it .
*
It shall not be baked with leaven .
I have given it as their portion of My offerings made by fire ;
it is most holy ,
like the sin offering and the trespass offering .
*
All the males among the children of Aaron may eat it .
It shall be a statute forever in your generations concerning the offerings made by fire to the LORD .
Everyone who touches them must be holy ."'
*
And the LORD spoke to Moses ,
saying ,
* "
This is the offering of Aaron and his sons ,
which they shall offer to the LORD ,
beginning on the day when he is anointed :
one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour as a daily grain offering ,
half of it in the morning and half of it at night .
*
It shall be made in a pan with oil .
When it is mixed ,
you shall bring it in .
The baked pieces of the grain offering you shall offer for a sweet aroma to the LORD .
*
The priest from among his sons ,
who is anointed in his place ,
shall offer it .
It is a statute forever to the LORD .
It shall be wholly burned .
*
For every grain offering for the priest shall be wholly burned .
It shall not be eaten ."
*
Also the LORD spoke to Moses ,
saying ,
* "
Speak to Aaron and to his sons ,
saying , "
This is the law of the sin offering :
In the place where the burnt offering is killed ,
the sin offering shall be killed before the LORD .
It is most holy .
*
The priest who offers it for sin shall eat it .
In a holy place it shall be eaten ,
in the court of the tabernacle of meeting .
*
Everyone who touches its flesh must be holy .
And when its blood is sprinkled on any garment ,
you shall wash that on which it was sprinkled ,
in a holy place .
*
But the earthen vessel in which it is boiled shall be broken .
And if it is boiled in a bronze pot ,
it shall be both scoured and rinsed in water .
*
All the males among the priests may eat it .
It is most holy .
*
But no sin offering from which any of the blood is brought into the tabernacle of meeting ,
to make atonement in the holy place ,
shall be eaten .
It shall be burned in the fire .
* "
Likewise this is the law of the trespass offering (
it is most holy ):
*
In the place where they kill the burnt offering they shall kill the trespass offering .
And its blood he shall sprinkle all around on the altar .
*
And he shall offer from it all its fat .
The fat tail and the fat that covers the entrails ,
*
the 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 ;
*
and the priest shall burn them on the altar as an offering made by fire to the LORD .
It is a trespass offering .
*
Every male among the priests may eat it .
It shall be eaten in a holy place .
It is most holy .
*
The trespass offering is like the sin offering ;
there is one law for them both :
the priest who makes atonement with it shall have it .
*
And the priest who offers anyone '
s burnt offering ,
that priest shall have for himself the skin of the burnt offering which he has offered .
*
Also every grain offering that is baked in the oven and all that is prepared in the covered pan ,
or in a pan ,
shall be the priest '
s who offers it .
*
Every grain offering ,
whether mixed with oil or dry ,
shall belong to all the sons of Aaron ,
to one as much as the other .
* "
This is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings which he shall offer to the LORD :
*
If he offers it for a thanksgiving ,
then he shall offer ,
with the sacrifice of thanksgiving ,
unleavened cakes mixed with oil ,
unleavened wafers anointed with oil ,
or cakes of blended flour mixed with oil .
*
Besides the cakes ,
as his offering he shall offer leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offering .
*
And from it he shall offer one cake from each offering as a heave offering to the LORD .
It shall belong to the priest who sprinkles the blood of the peace offering .
* "
The flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offering for thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day it is offered .
He shall not leave any of it until morning .
*
But if the sacrifice of his offering is a vow or a voluntary offering ,
it shall be eaten the same day that he offers his sacrifice ;
but on the next day the remainder of it also may be eaten ;
*
the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day must be burned with fire .
*
And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offering is eaten at all on the third day ,
it shall not be accepted ,
nor shall it be imputed to him ;
it shall be an abomination to him who offers it ,
and the person who eats of it shall bear guilt .
* "
The flesh that touches any unclean thing shall not be eaten .
It shall be burned with fire .
And as for the clean flesh ,
all who are clean may eat of it .
*
But the person who eats the flesh of the sacrifice of the peace offering that belongs to the LORD ,
while he is unclean ,
that person shall be cut off from his people .
*
Moreover the person who touches any unclean thing ,
such as human uncleanness ,
an unclean animal ,
or any abominable unclean thing ,
and who eats the flesh of the sacrifice of the peace offering that belongs to the LORD ,
that person shall be cut off from his people ."'
*
And the LORD spoke to Moses ,
saying ,
* "
Speak to the children of Israel ,
saying : "
You shall not eat any fat ,
of ox or sheep or goat .
*
And the fat of an animal that dies naturally ,
and the fat of what is torn by wild beasts ,
may be used in any other way ;
but you shall by no means eat it .
*
For whoever eats the fat of the animal of which men offer an offering made by fire to the LORD ,
the person who eats it shall be cut off from his people .
*
Moreover you shall not eat any blood in any of your dwellings ,
whether of bird or beast .
*
Whoever eats any blood ,
that person shall be cut off from his people ."'
*
Then the LORD spoke to Moses ,
saying ,
* "
Speak to the children of Israel ,
saying : "
He who offers the sacrifice of his peace offering to the LORD shall bring his offering to the LORD from the sacrifice of his peace offering .
*
His own hands shall bring the offerings made by fire to the LORD .
The fat with the breast he shall bring ,
that the breast may be waved as a wave offering before the LORD .
*
And the priest shall burn the fat on the altar ,
but the breast shall be Aaron '
s and his sons '.
*
Also the right thigh you shall give to the priest as a heave offering from the sacrifices of your peace offerings .
*
He among the sons of Aaron ,
who offers the blood of the peace offering and the fat ,
shall have the right thigh for his part .
*
For the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the heave offering I have taken from the children of Israel ,
from the sacrifices of their peace offerings ,
and I have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons from the children of Israel by a statute forever ."'
*
This is the consecrated portion for Aaron and his sons ,
from the offerings made by fire to the LORD ,
on the day when Moses presented them to minister to the LORD as priests .
*
The LORD commanded this to be given to them by the children of Israel ,
on the day that He anointed them ,
by a statute forever throughout their generations .
*
This is the law of the burnt offering ,
the grain offering ,
the sin offering ,
the trespass offering ,
the consecrations ,
and the sacrifice of the peace offering ,
*
which the LORD commanded Moses on Mount Sinai ,
on the day when He commanded the children of Israel to offer their offerings to the LORD in the Wilderness of Sinai .
*
And the LORD spoke to Moses ,
saying :
