Leviticus 4:13-21

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹³ ‘^(A)Now if the whole congregation of Israel commits error and the matter ^[a]escapes the notice of the assembly, and they commit any of the ^[b]things which the Lord has commanded not to be done, and they become guilty; ^14 (B)when the sin ^[c]which they have ^[d]committed becomes known, then the assembly shall offer ^(C)a ^[e]bull of 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 the Lord, and the bull shall be slain ^(E)before the Lord. ¹⁶ Then the anointed priest is to 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 the Lord, in front of the veil. ¹⁸ He shall put some of the blood on the horns of ^(G)the altar which is before the Lord ^[f]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 remove 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 is to 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.
