13 (A)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 [a]things which Yahweh has commanded not to be done, and they become guilty; 14 (B)when the sin [b]which they have [c]committed becomes known, then the assembly shall bring near (C)a bull from the herd for a sin offering and bring it before the tent of meeting. 15 Then (D)the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the bull before Yahweh, and the bull shall be slaughtered (E)before Yahweh. 16 Then the anointed priest shall bring some of the blood of the bull to the tent of meeting; 17 and (F)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 (G)the altar which is before Yahweh [d]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 (H)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 (I)the bull of the sin offering; thus he shall do with it. So (J)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 (K)the sin offering for the assembly.
