贖罪祭之例

耶和華對摩西說: 「你曉諭以色列人說:若有人在耶和華所吩咐不可行的什麼事上誤犯了一件, 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。 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。 受膏的祭司要取些公牛的血帶到會幕, 把指頭蘸於血中,在耶和華面前對著聖所的幔子彈血七次, 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。 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, 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。

為會眾獻贖罪祭

13 以色列全會眾若行了耶和華所吩咐不可行的什麼事,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。

為官長獻贖罪祭

22 「官長若行了耶和華他神所吩咐不可行的什麼事,誤犯了罪, 23 所犯的罪自己知道了,就要牽一隻沒有殘疾的公山羊為供物, 24 按手在羊的頭上,宰於耶和華面前宰燔祭牲的地方。這是贖罪祭。 25 祭司要用指頭蘸些贖罪祭牲的血,抹在燔祭壇的四角上,把血倒在燔祭壇的腳那裡。 26 所有的脂油,祭司都要燒在壇上,正如平安祭的脂油一樣。至於他的罪,祭司要為他贖了,他必蒙赦免。

為庶民獻贖罪祭

27 「民中若有人行了耶和華所吩咐不可行的什麼事,誤犯了罪, 28 所犯的罪自己知道了,就要為所犯的罪牽一隻沒有殘疾的母山羊為供物, 29 按手在贖罪祭牲的頭上,在那宰燔祭牲的地方宰了。 30 祭司要用指頭蘸些羊的血,抹在燔祭壇的四角上,所有的血都要倒在壇的腳那裡。 31 又要把羊所有的脂油都取下,正如取平安祭牲的脂油一樣。祭司要在壇上焚燒,在耶和華面前作為馨香的祭。為他贖罪,他必蒙赦免。

32 「人若牽一隻綿羊羔為贖罪祭的供物,必要牽一隻沒有殘疾的母羊, 33 按手在贖罪祭牲的頭上,在那宰燔祭牲的地方宰了做贖罪祭。 34 祭司要用指頭蘸些贖罪祭牲的血,抹在燔祭壇的四角上,所有的血都要倒在壇的腳那裡。 35 又要把所有的脂油都取下,正如取平安祭羊羔的脂油一樣。祭司要按獻給耶和華火祭的條例,燒在壇上。至於所犯的罪,祭司要為他贖了,他必蒙赦免。

獻贖罪祭的條例

耶和華對摩西說: 「你把以下條例告訴以色列人。

「如果有人無意中觸犯耶和華的誡命,要按以下方式獻贖罪祭。

「若大祭司犯罪,禍及眾民,他必須獻給耶和華一頭毫無殘疾的公牛犢作贖罪祭。 他要把公牛犢牽到會幕門口,將手放在牛頭上,在耶和華面前宰牛。 他要取一些牛血帶進會幕裡, 在耶和華面前用手指蘸血向聖所的幔子彈灑七次, 也要把一些血抹在耶和華面前的香壇的四角上,然後把剩下的血倒在會幕門口的燔祭壇腳旁。 他要取出作贖罪祭的公牛犢的所有脂肪,包括遮蓋內臟的脂肪和內臟上的脂肪、 兩個腎臟和腎臟上靠近腰部的脂肪以及肝葉, 10 正如取出平安祭牲的脂肪一樣。他要將這一切放在燔祭壇上焚燒。 11-12 至於公牛剩下的部分,即皮、所有的肉、頭顱、腿、內臟和糞便,他要帶到營外潔淨之處,就是倒壇灰的地方,放在柴上焚燒。

13 「以色列全體會眾若無意中觸犯耶和華的誡命,即使沒有意識到,也是犯罪。 14 他們意識到後,必須獻上一頭公牛犢作贖罪祭。要將公牛犢帶到會幕前, 15 眾長老要把手放在牛頭上,在耶和華面前宰牛。 16 大祭司要帶一些牛血進入會幕, 17 在耶和華面前用手指蘸血向幔子彈灑七次, 18 也要把一些血抹在耶和華面前的香壇的四角上,然後把剩下的血倒在會幕門前的燔祭壇腳旁。 19 他要取出公牛犢的所有脂肪,放在祭壇上焚燒, 20 正如取出贖罪祭牲的脂肪一樣。這樣,大祭司為全體會眾贖了罪,他們就會得到赦免。 21 他要把這公牛犢剩下的部分拿到營外焚燒,像焚燒前一頭公牛犢一樣。這是為全體會眾所獻的贖罪祭。

22 「首領若無意中觸犯他的上帝耶和華的誡命,也是犯罪。 23 他意識到自己犯罪後,必須獻上一隻毫無殘疾的公山羊作祭物。 24 他要把手放在羊頭上,在殺燔祭牲的地方,在耶和華面前宰羊。這是他的贖罪祭。 25 祭司要用手指蘸一些羊血抹在燔祭壇的角上,剩下的血要倒在燔祭壇腳旁。 26 要像焚燒平安祭牲的脂肪一樣,把羊的所有脂肪都放在壇上焚燒。這樣,祭司為他贖了罪,他就會得到赦免。

27 「平民若無意中觸犯耶和華的誡命,也是犯罪。 28 他意識到自己犯罪後,必須獻上一隻毫無殘疾的母山羊作贖罪祭。 29 他要把手放在羊頭上,在殺燔祭牲的地方宰羊。 30 祭司要用手指蘸一些羊血抹在燔祭壇的角上,剩下的血要倒在燔祭壇腳旁。 31 獻祭者要像取出平安祭牲的脂肪一樣,取出母山羊的所有脂肪。祭司要把這一切放在壇上焚燒,作為蒙耶和華悅納的馨香之祭。這樣,祭司為他贖了罪,他就會得到赦免。

32 「他若獻綿羊作贖罪祭,必須獻一隻毫無殘疾的母綿羊。 33 他要把手放在羊頭上,在殺燔祭牲的地方宰羊。 34 祭司要用手指蘸一些羊血抹在燔祭壇的角上,剩下的血要倒在燔祭壇腳旁。 35 獻祭者要像取出平安祭牲的脂肪一樣,取出母綿羊的所有脂肪。祭司要把這一切放在壇上,與獻給耶和華的祭物一起焚燒。這樣,祭司為他贖了罪,他就會得到赦免。

The Statutes of Sin Offerings

Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘If a person sins (A)unintentionally in any of the [a]things which Yahweh has (B)commanded not to be done, and he does any one of them, (C)if the anointed priest sins so as to bring guilt on the people, then let him bring near to Yahweh a bull from the herd without blemish as a sin offering for the sin he has [b]committed. Then he shall bring the bull to the doorway of the tent of meeting before Yahweh, and (D)he shall lay his hand on the head of the bull and slaughter the bull before Yahweh. Then the (E)anointed priest shall take some of the blood of the bull and bring it to the tent of meeting, and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle some of the blood seven times before Yahweh in front of (F)the veil of the sanctuary. The priest shall also put some of the blood on the horns of (G)the altar of fragrant incense which is before Yahweh in the tent of meeting; and all the blood of the bull he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering which is at the doorway of the tent of meeting. (H)Then he shall raise up from it all the fat of the bull of the sin offering: the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat which is on the entrails, and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them, which is on the loins, and the [c]lobe of the liver, which he shall remove (I)with the kidneys 10 (just as it is raised up from the ox of the sacrifice of peace offerings), and the priest shall offer them up in smoke on the altar of burnt offering. 11 But (J)the hide of the bull and all its flesh with its head and its legs and its entrails and its refuse, 12 [d]that is, all the rest of the bull, he shall bring out to (K)a clean place outside the camp where the [e]ashes are poured out, and he shall burn it on wood with fire; where the [f]ashes are poured out it shall be burned.

13 (L)Now if the whole congregation of Israel commits error, and the matter is hidden from the sight of the assembly, and they commit any of the [g]things which Yahweh has commanded not to be done, and they become guilty; 14 (M)when the sin [h]which they have [i]committed becomes known, then the assembly shall bring near (N)a bull from the herd for a sin offering and bring it before the tent of meeting. 15 Then (O)the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the bull before Yahweh, and the bull shall be slaughtered (P)before Yahweh. 16 Then the anointed priest shall bring some of the blood of the bull to the tent of meeting; 17 and (Q)the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before Yahweh in front of the veil. 18 And he shall put some of the blood on the horns of (R)the altar which is before Yahweh [j]in the tent of meeting; and all the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering which is at the doorway of the tent of meeting. 19 (S)He shall then raise up all its fat from it and offer it up in smoke on the altar. 20 He shall also do with the bull just as he did with (T)the bull of the sin offering; thus he shall do with it. So (U)the priest shall make atonement for them, and they will be forgiven. 21 Then he shall bring out the bull to a place outside the camp and burn it as he burned the first bull; it is (V)the sin offering for the assembly.

22 ‘When (W)a leader (X)sins and unintentionally does any one of all the [k]things which Yahweh his God has commanded not to be done, and he becomes guilty, 23 (Y)or if his sin [l]which he has committed is made known to him, he shall bring for his offering a [m](Z)goat, (AA)a male without blemish. 24 Then he shall lay his hand on the head of the male goat and slaughter it in the place where [n]they slaughter the burnt offering before Yahweh; it is a sin offering. 25 Then the priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it on (AB)the horns of the altar of burnt offering; and the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering. 26 (AC)And all its fat he shall offer up in smoke on the altar as in the case of the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings. Thus (AD)the priest shall make atonement for him in regard to his sin, and he will be forgiven.

27 ‘Now if [o]anyone of [p]the common people sins (AE)unintentionally in doing any of the [q]things which Yahweh has commanded not to be done, and becomes guilty, 28 (AF)or if his sin which he has [r]committed is made known to him, then he shall bring for his offering a [s](AG)goat, a (AH)female without blemish, for his sin which he has [t]committed. 29 (AI)And he shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and (AJ)slaughter the sin offering at the place of the burnt offering. 30 And the priest shall take some of its blood with his finger and put it on the horns of (AK)the altar of burnt offering; and (AL)all the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar. 31 (AM)Then he shall remove all its fat, just as the fat was removed from the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall offer it up in smoke on the altar for (AN)a soothing aroma to Yahweh. Thus the priest shall make atonement for him, [u]and he will be forgiven.

32 ‘But if he brings (AO)a lamb as his offering for a sin offering, he shall bring it, a female without blemish. 33 (AP)And he shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it for a sin offering (AQ)in the place where [v]they slay the burnt offering. 34 And the priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it on the horns of (AR)the altar of burnt offering, and (AS)all the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar. 35 Then he shall remove (AT)all its fat, just as the fat of the lamb is removed from the sacrifice of the peace offerings, and the priest shall offer them up in smoke on the altar, on the offerings by fire to Yahweh. Thus (AU)the priest shall make atonement for him in regard to his sin which he has [w]committed, and he will be forgiven.

The Sin Offering

The Lord said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites: ‘When anyone sins unintentionally(A) and does what is forbidden in any of the Lord’s commands(B)

“‘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) 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. Then the anointed priest shall take some of the bull’s blood(J) and carry it into the tent of meeting. 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) 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. He shall remove all the fat(Q) from the bull of the sin offering—all the fat that is connected to the internal organs, 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)

22 “‘When a leader(AU) sins unintentionally(AV) and does what is forbidden in any of the commands of the Lord his God, when he realizes his guilt 23 and the sin he has committed becomes known, he must bring as his offering a male goat(AW) without defect. 24 He is to lay his hand on the goat’s head and slaughter it at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered before the Lord.(AX) It is a sin offering.(AY) 25 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(AZ) of burnt offering and pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.(BA) 26 He shall burn all the fat on the altar as he burned the fat of the fellowship offering. In this way the priest will make atonement(BB) for the leader’s sin, and he will be forgiven.(BC)

27 “‘If any member of the community sins unintentionally(BD) and does what is forbidden in any of the Lord’s commands, when they realize their guilt 28 and the sin they have committed becomes known, they must bring as their offering(BE) for the sin they committed a female goat(BF) without defect. 29 They are to lay their hand on the head(BG) of the sin offering(BH) and slaughter it at the place of the burnt offering.(BI) 30 Then the priest is to take some of the blood with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering(BJ) and pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar. 31 They shall remove all the fat, just as the fat is removed from the fellowship offering, and the priest shall burn it on the altar(BK) as an aroma pleasing to the Lord.(BL) In this way the priest will make atonement(BM) for them, and they will be forgiven.(BN)

32 “‘If someone brings a lamb(BO) as their sin offering, they are to bring a female without defect.(BP) 33 They are to lay their hand on its head and slaughter it(BQ) for a sin offering(BR) at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered.(BS) 34 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 the blood at the base of the altar.(BT) 35 They shall remove all the fat, just as the fat is removed from the lamb of the fellowship offering, and the priest shall burn it on the altar(BU) on top of the food offerings presented to the Lord. In this way the priest will make atonement for them for the sin they have committed, and they will be forgiven.
