  1. 2 Chronicles 29:21 Or purification offering; also in verses 23 and 24

“If it is the anointed priest who sins, thus bringing guilt on the people, he shall offer for the sin that he has committed a bull of the herd as a purification offering to the Lord.(A) He shall bring the bull to the entrance of the tent of meeting before the Lord and lay his hand on the head of the bull; the bull shall be slaughtered before the Lord.(B) The anointed priest shall take some of the blood of the bull and bring it into the tent of meeting.(C) The priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle some of the blood seven times before the Lord in front of the curtain of the sanctuary. The priest shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of fragrant incense that is in the tent of meeting before the Lord, and the rest of the blood of the bull he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the entrance of the tent of meeting.(D) He shall remove all the fat from the bull of purification offering: the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is around the entrails,(E) the two kidneys with the fat that is on them at the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which he shall remove with the kidneys, 10 just as these are removed from the ox of the sacrifice of well-being. The priest shall turn them into smoke upon the altar of burnt offering. 11 But the skin of the bull and all its flesh, as well as its head, its legs, its entrails, and its dung— 12 all the rest of the bull—he shall carry out to a clean place outside the camp, to the ash heap, and shall burn it on a wood fire; at the ash heap it shall be burned.(F)

13 “If the whole congregation of Israel errs unintentionally, and the matter escapes the notice of the assembly, and they do any one of the things that by the Lord’s commandments ought not to be done and incur guilt,(G) 14 when the sin that they have committed becomes known, the assembly shall offer a bull of the herd for a purification offering and bring it before the tent of meeting.(H)

“‘If the anointed priest(A) sins,(B) bringing guilt on the people, he must bring to the Lord a young bull(C) without defect(D) as a sin offering[a](E) for the sin he has committed.(F) He is to present the bull at the entrance to the tent of meeting before the Lord.(G) 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(H) and carry it into the tent of meeting. He is to dip his finger into the blood and sprinkle(I) some of it seven times before the Lord,(J) in front of the curtain of the sanctuary.(K) The priest shall then put some of the blood on the horns(L) 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(M) of burnt offering(N) at the entrance to the tent of meeting. He shall remove all the fat(O) 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(P) 10 just as the fat is removed from the ox[b](Q) sacrificed as a fellowship offering.(R) Then the priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering.(S) 11 But the hide of the bull and all its flesh, as well as the head and legs, the internal organs and the intestines(T) 12 that is, all the rest of the bull—he must take outside the camp(U) to a place ceremonially clean,(V) where the ashes(W) are thrown, and burn it(X) there in a wood fire on the ash heap.(Y)

13 “‘If the whole Israelite community sins unintentionally(Z) 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(AA) as a sin offering(AB) and present it before the tent of meeting.
