The Sin Offering
4 The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Say to the Israelites: ‘When anyone sins unintentionally(A) and does what is forbidden in any of the Lord’s commands(B)—
3 “‘If the anointed priest(C) sins,(D) bringing guilt on the people, he must bring to the Lord a young bull(E) without defect(F) as a sin offering[a](G) for the sin he has committed.(H) 4 He is to present the bull at the entrance to the tent of meeting before the Lord.(I) He is to lay his hand on its head and slaughter it there before the Lord. 5 Then the anointed priest shall take some of the bull’s blood(J) and carry it into the tent of meeting. 6 He is to dip his finger into the blood and sprinkle(K) some of it seven times before the Lord,(L) in front of the curtain of the sanctuary.(M) 7 The priest shall then put some of the blood on the horns(N) of the altar of fragrant incense that is before the Lord in the tent of meeting. The rest of the bull’s blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar(O) of burnt offering(P) at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 8 He shall remove all the fat(Q) from the bull of the sin offering—all the fat that is connected to the internal organs, 9 both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the long lobe of the liver, which he will remove with the kidneys(R)— 10 just as the fat is removed from the ox[b](S) sacrificed as a fellowship offering.(T) Then the priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering.(U) 11 But the hide of the bull and all its flesh, as well as the head and legs, the internal organs and the intestines(V)— 12 that is, all the rest of the bull—he must take outside the camp(W) to a place ceremonially clean,(X) where the ashes(Y) are thrown, and burn it(Z) there in a wood fire on the ash heap.(AA)
13 “‘If the whole Israelite community sins unintentionally(AB) and does what is forbidden in any of the Lord’s commands, even though the community is unaware of the matter, when they realize their guilt 14 and the sin they committed becomes known, the assembly must bring a young bull(AC) as a sin offering(AD) and present it before the tent of meeting. 15 The elders(AE) of the community are to lay their hands(AF) on the bull’s head(AG) before the Lord, and the bull shall be slaughtered before the Lord.(AH) 16 Then the anointed priest is to take some of the bull’s blood(AI) into the tent of meeting. 17 He shall dip his finger into the blood and sprinkle(AJ) it before the Lord(AK) seven times in front of the curtain. 18 He is to put some of the blood(AL) on the horns of the altar that is before the Lord(AM) in the tent of meeting. The rest of the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar(AN) of burnt offering at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 19 He shall remove all the fat(AO) from it and burn it on the altar,(AP) 20 and do with this bull just as he did with the bull for the sin offering. In this way the priest will make atonement(AQ) for the community, and they will be forgiven.(AR) 21 Then he shall take the bull outside the camp(AS) and burn it as he burned the first bull. This is the sin offering for the community.(AT)

4 耶 和 華 對 摩 西 說 ：
2 你 曉 諭 以 色 列 人 說 ： 若 有 人 在 耶 和 華 所 吩 咐 不 可 行 的 甚 麼 事 上 誤 犯 了 一 件 ，
3 或 是 受 膏 的 祭 司 犯 罪 ， 使 百 姓 陷 在 罪 裡 ， 就 當 為 他 所 犯 的 罪 把 沒 有 殘 疾 的 公 牛 犢 獻 給 耶 和 華 為 贖 罪 祭 。
4 他 要 牽 公 牛 到 會 幕 門 口 ， 在 耶 和 華 面 前 按 手 在 牛 的 頭 上 ， 把 牛 宰 於 耶 和 華 面 前 。
5 受 膏 的 祭 司 要 取 些 公 牛 的 血 帶 到 會 幕 ，
6 把 指 頭 蘸 於 血 中 ， 在 耶 和 華 面 前 對 著 聖 所 的 幔 子 彈 血 七 次 ，
7 又 要 把 些 血 抹 在 會 幕 內 、 耶 和 華 面 前 香 壇 的 四 角 上 ， 再 把 公 牛 所 有 的 血 倒 在 會 幕 門 口 、 燔 祭 壇 的 腳 那 裡 。
8 要 把 贖 罪 祭 公 牛 所 有 的 脂 油 ， 乃 是 蓋 臟 的 脂 油 和 臟 上 所 有 的 脂 油 ，
9 並 兩 個 腰 子 和 腰 子 上 的 脂 油 ， 就 是 靠 腰 兩 旁 的 脂 油 ， 與 肝 上 的 網 子 和 腰 子 ， 一 概 取 下 ，
10 與 平 安 祭 公 牛 上 所 取 的 一 樣 ； 祭 司 要 把 這 些 燒 在 燔 祭 的 壇 上 。
11 公 牛 的 皮 和 所 有 的 肉 ， 並 頭 、 腿 、 臟 、 腑 、 糞 ，
12 就 是 全 公 牛 ， 要 搬 到 營 外 潔 淨 之 地 、 倒 灰 之 所 ， 用 火 燒 在 柴 上 。
13 以 色 列 全 會 眾 若 行 了 耶 和 華 所 吩 咐 不 可 行 的 甚 麼 事 ， 誤 犯 了 罪 ， 是 隱 而 未 現 ， 會 眾 看 不 出 來 的 ，
14 會 眾 一 知 道 所 犯 的 罪 就 要 獻 一 隻 公 牛 犢 為 贖 罪 祭 ， 牽 到 會 幕 前 。
15 會 中 的 長 老 就 要 在 耶 和 華 面 前 按 手 在 牛 的 頭 上 ， 將 牛 在 耶 和 華 面 前 宰 了 。
16 受 膏 的 祭 司 要 取 些 公 牛 的 血 帶 到 會 幕 ，
17 把 指 頭 蘸 於 血 中 ， 在 耶 和 華 面 前 對 著 幔 子 彈 血 七 次 ，
18 又 要 把 些 血 抹 在 會 幕 內 、 耶 和 華 面 前 壇 的 四 角 上 ， 再 把 所 有 的 血 倒 在 會 幕 門 口 、 燔 祭 壇 的 腳 那 裡 。
19 把 牛 所 有 的 脂 油 都 取 下 ， 燒 在 壇 上 ；
20 收 拾 這 牛 ， 與 那 贖 罪 祭 的 牛 一 樣 。 祭 司 要 為 他 們 贖 罪 ， 他 們 必 蒙 赦 免 。
21 他 要 把 牛 搬 到 營 外 燒 了 ， 像 燒 頭 一 個 牛 一 樣 ； 這 是 會 眾 的 贖 罪 祭 。

Leviticus 4:1-21
King James Version
Leviticus 4:1-21
King James Version
4 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto 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 do against any of them:
3 If the priest that is anointed do sin according to the sin of the people; then let him bring for his sin, which he hath sinned, a young bullock without blemish unto the Lord for a sin offering.
4 And he shall bring the bullock unto 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.
5 And the priest that is anointed shall take of the bullock's blood, and bring it to the tabernacle of the congregation:
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.
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.
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,
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, it shall he take away,
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.
11 And the skin of the bullock, and all his flesh, with his head, and with his legs, and his inwards, and his dung,
12 Even the whole bullock shall he carry forth without the camp unto 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.
13 And if the whole congregation of Israel 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;
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.
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.
16 And the priest that is anointed shall bring of the bullock's blood to the tabernacle of the congregation:
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.
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.
19 And he shall take all his fat from him, and burn it upon the altar.
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.
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.
