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

¹⁵ “He shall then slaughter the goat for the sin offering for the people^(A) and take its blood behind the curtain^(B) and do with it as he did with the bull’s blood: He shall sprinkle^(C) it on the atonement cover and in front of it. ¹⁶ In this way he will make atonement^(D) for the Most Holy Place^(E) because of the uncleanness and rebellion of the Israelites, whatever their sins have been. He is to do the same for the tent of meeting,^(F) which is among them in the midst of their uncleanness. ¹⁷ No one is to be in the tent of meeting from the time Aaron goes in to make atonement in the Most Holy Place until he comes out, having made atonement for himself, his household and the whole community of Israel.

²⁴ and if this is done unintentionally^(A) without the community being aware of it,^(B) then the whole community is to offer a young bull for a burnt offering^(C) as an aroma pleasing to the Lord,^(D) along with its prescribed grain offering^(E) and drink offering,^(F) and a male goat for a sin offering.^{[a](G) 25} The priest is to make atonement for the whole Israelite community, and they will be forgiven,^(H) for it was not intentional^(I) and they have presented to the Lord for their wrong a food offering^(J) and a sin offering.^{(K) 26} The whole Israelite community and the foreigners residing among them will be forgiven, because all the people were involved in the unintentional wrong.^(L)
