Leviticus 4
New King James Version
The Sin Offering
4 Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: (A)‘If a person sins [a]unintentionally against any of the commandments of the Lord in anything which ought not to be done, and does any of them, 3 (B)if the anointed priest sins, bringing guilt on the people, then let him offer to the Lord for his sin which he has sinned (C)a young bull without blemish as a (D)sin offering. 4 He shall bring the bull (E)to the door of the tabernacle of meeting before the Lord, lay his hand on the bull’s head, and kill the bull before the Lord. 5 Then the anointed priest (F)shall take some of the bull’s blood and bring it to the tabernacle of meeting. 6 The priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle some of the blood seven times before the Lord, in front of the (G)veil of the sanctuary. 7 And the priest shall (H)put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of sweet incense before the Lord, which is in the tabernacle of meeting; and he shall pour (I)the remaining blood of the bull at the base of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. 8 He shall take from it all the fat of the bull as the sin offering. The fat that covers the entrails and all the fat which is on the entrails, 9 the two kidneys and the fat that is on them by the flanks, and the fatty lobe attached to the liver above the kidneys, he shall remove, 10 (J)as it was taken from the bull of the sacrifice of the peace offering; and the priest shall burn them on the altar of the burnt offering. 11 (K)But the bull’s hide and all its flesh, with its head and legs, its entrails and offal— 12 the whole bull he shall carry outside the camp to a clean place, (L)where the ashes are poured out, and (M)burn it on wood with fire; where the ashes are poured out it shall be burned.
13 ‘Now (N)if the whole congregation of Israel sins unintentionally, (O)and the thing is hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done something against any of the commandments of the Lord in anything which should not be done, and are guilty; 14 when the sin which they have committed becomes known, then the assembly shall offer a young bull for the sin, and bring it before the tabernacle of meeting. 15 And the elders of the congregation (P)shall lay their hands on the head of the bull before the Lord. Then the bull shall be killed before the Lord. 16 (Q)The anointed priest shall bring some of the bull’s blood to the tabernacle of meeting. 17 Then the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the Lord, in front of the veil. 18 And he shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar which is before the Lord, which is in the tabernacle of meeting; and he shall pour the remaining blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. 19 He shall take all the fat from it and burn it on the altar. 20 And he shall do (R)with the bull as he did with the bull as a sin offering; thus he shall do with it. (S)So the priest shall make [b]atonement for them, and it shall be forgiven them. 21 Then he shall carry the bull outside the camp, and burn it as he burned the first bull. It is a sin offering for the assembly.
22 ‘When a [c]ruler has sinned, and (T)done something unintentionally against any of the commandments of the Lord his God in anything which should not be done, and is guilty, 23 or (U)if his sin which he has committed [d]comes to his knowledge, he shall bring as his offering a kid of the goats, a male without blemish. 24 And (V)he shall lay his hand on the head of the goat, and kill it at the place where they kill the burnt offering before the Lord. It is a sin offering. 25 (W)The priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour its blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering. 26 And he shall burn all its fat on the altar, like (X)the fat of the sacrifice of the peace offering. (Y)So the priest shall make [e]atonement for him concerning his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.
27 (Z)‘If [f]anyone of the [g]common people sins unintentionally by doing something against any of the commandments of the Lord in anything which ought not to be done, and is guilty, 28 or (AA)if his sin which he has committed comes to his knowledge, then he shall bring as his offering a kid of the goats, a female without blemish, for his sin which he has committed. 29 (AB)And he shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and kill the sin offering at the place of the burnt offering. 30 Then the priest shall take some of its blood with his finger, put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour all the remaining blood at the base of the altar. 31 (AC)He shall remove all its fat, (AD)as fat is removed from the sacrifice of the peace offering; and the priest shall burn it on the altar for a (AE)sweet aroma to the Lord. (AF)So the priest shall make atonement for him, and it shall be forgiven him.
32 ‘If he brings a lamb as his sin offering, (AG)he shall bring a female without blemish. 33 Then he shall (AH)lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and kill it as a sin offering at the place where they kill the burnt offering. 34 The priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour all the remaining blood at the base of the altar. 35 He shall remove all its fat, as the fat of the lamb is removed from the sacrifice of the peace offering. Then the priest shall burn it on the altar, (AI)according to the offerings made by fire to the Lord. (AJ)So the priest shall make atonement for his sin that he has committed, and it shall be forgiven him.

Jertfele pentru ispăşire
4 Domnul a vorbit lui Moise şi a zis: 2 „Vorbeşte copiilor lui Israel şi spune: ‘Când(A) va păcătui cineva fără voie împotriva vreuneia din poruncile Domnului, făcând lucruri care nu trebuiesc făcute, şi anume: 3 Dacă a păcătuit preotul(B) care a primit ungerea şi, prin aceasta, a adus vina asupra poporului, să aducă Domnului un viţel(C) fără cusur, ca jertfă de ispăşire pentru păcatul pe care l-a făcut. 4 Să aducă viţelul(D) la uşa cortului întâlnirii, înaintea Domnului, să-şi pună mâna pe capul viţelului şi să-l junghie înaintea Domnului. 5 Preotul, care a primit ungerea, să(E) ia din sângele viţelului şi să-l aducă în cortul întâlnirii, 6 să-şi moaie degetul în sânge şi să stropească de şapte ori înaintea Domnului, în faţa perdelei dinăuntru a Sfântului Locaş. 7 Apoi, preotul să ungă(F) cu sânge coarnele altarului pentru tămâia mirositoare, care este înaintea Domnului în cortul întâlnirii, iar tot celălalt sânge al viţelului să-l verse la picioarele altarului pentru arderile-de-tot, care este la uşa cortului întâlnirii. 8 Să ia toată grăsimea viţelului adus ca jertfă de ispăşire, şi anume grăsimea care acoperă măruntaiele şi toată grăsimea care ţine de ele, 9 cei doi rărunchi şi grăsimea de pe ei, de pe coapse, şi prapurul ficatului, pe care-l va dezlipi de lângă rărunchi. Preotul să ia aceste părţi, 10 cum(G) se iau de la viţelul adus ca jertfă de mulţumire, şi să le ardă pe altarul pentru arderile-de-tot. 11 Dar pielea(H) viţelului, toată carnea lui, cu capul, picioarele, măruntaiele şi balega lui, 12 adică tot viţelul care a mai rămas, să le scoată afară din tabără, într-un loc curat, unde(I) se aruncă cenuşa, şi să le ardă cu lemne pe foc; să fie(J) arse pe grămada de cenuşă.
Când toată adunarea a păcătuit
13 Dacă(K) toată adunarea lui Israel a păcătuit fără voie şi fără să ştie, făcând împotriva uneia din poruncile Domnului lucruri care nu trebuiesc făcute şi făcându-se astfel vinovată, 14 şi dacă păcatul săvârşit s-a(L) descoperit, adunarea să aducă un viţel ca jertfă de ispăşire, şi anume să-l aducă înaintea cortului întâlnirii. 15 Bătrânii adunării să-şi(M) pună mâinile pe capul viţelului înaintea Domnului şi să junghie viţelul înaintea Domnului. 16 Preotul(N) care a primit ungerea să aducă din sângele viţelului în cortul întâlnirii, 17 să-şi moaie degetul în sânge şi să stropească cu el de şapte ori înaintea Domnului, în faţa perdelei dinăuntru. 18 Să ungă cu sângele acesta coarnele altarului care este înaintea Domnului, în cortul întâlnirii, şi să verse tot sângele care a mai rămas la picioarele altarului pentru arderile-de-tot, care este la uşa cortului întâlnirii. 19 Toată grăsimea viţelului s-o ia şi s-o ardă pe altar. 20 Cu viţelul(O) acesta să facă întocmai cum a făcut cu viţelul adus ca jertfă de ispăşire; să facă la fel. Astfel să facă preotul(P) ispăşire pentru ei, şi li se va ierta. 21 Viţelul rămas să-l scoată apoi afară din tabără şi să-l ardă ca şi pe viţelul dintâi. Aceasta este o jertfă de ispăşire pentru adunare.
Când păcătuieşte o căpetenie
22 Dacă o căpetenie a păcătuit făcând(Q) fără voie împotriva uneia din poruncile Domnului, Dumnezeului său, lucruri care nu trebuie făcute şi s-a făcut astfel vinovată 23 şi ajunge să descopere(R) păcatul pe care l-a făcut, să aducă jertfă un ţap fără cusur! 24 Să-şi(S) pună mâna pe capul ţapului şi să-l junghie în locul unde se junghie arderile-de-tot înaintea Domnului. Aceasta este o jertfă de ispăşire. 25 Preotul(T) să ia cu degetul din sângele jertfei de ispăşire, să ungă cu el coarnele altarului pentru arderile-de-tot, iar celălalt sânge să-l verse la picioarele altarului pentru arderile-de-tot. 26 Toată grăsimea(U) s-o ardă pe altar, cum a ars grăsimea de la jertfa de mulţumire. Astfel va face preotul(V) pentru căpetenia aceea ispăşirea păcatului lui, şi i se va ierta. 27 Dacă cineva(W) din poporul de rând a păcătuit fără voie, făcând împotriva uneia din poruncile Domnului lucruri care nu trebuie făcute şi s-a făcut astfel vinovat 28 şi ajunge să descopere păcatul(X) pe care l-a făcut, să aducă jertfă o iadă fără cusur pentru păcatul pe care l-a făcut. 29 Să-şi(Y) pună mâna pe capul jertfei de ispăşire şi s-o junghie în locul unde se junghie arderile-de-tot. 30 Preotul să ia cu degetul din sângele jertfei, să ungă coarnele altarului pentru arderile-de-tot, iar tot celălalt sânge să-l verse la picioarele altarului. 31 Preotul(Z) să ia toată grăsimea, cum(AA) se ia grăsimea jertfei de mulţumire, şi s-o ardă pe altar, şi ea va fi de un miros plăcut(AB) Domnului. Astfel va face preotul ispăşirea(AC) pentru omul acesta, şi i se va ierta. 32 Dacă va aduce ca jertfă de ispăşire un miel, să aducă o parte femeiască(AD) fără cusur. 33 Să-şi pună mâna pe capul jertfei şi s-o junghie ca jertfă de ispăşire în locul unde se junghie arderile-de-tot. 34 Preotul să ia cu degetul din sângele jertfei, să ungă cu el coarnele altarului pentru arderile-de-tot, iar tot celălalt sânge să-l verse la picioarele altarului. 35 Preotul să ia toată grăsimea, cum se ia grăsimea mielului adus ca jertfă de mulţumire, şi s-o ardă pe altar(AE), peste jertfele mistuite de foc înaintea Domnului. Astfel(AF) va face preotul pentru omul acesta ispăşirea păcatului pe care l-a săvârşit, şi i se va ierta.

The Sin Offering
4 Then the Lord spoke to Moses: 2 ‘Tell the Israelites: When someone sins unintentionally(A) against any of the Lord’s commands and does anything prohibited by them –
3 ‘If the anointed priest(B) sins, bringing guilt(C) on the people, he is to present to the Lord a young, unblemished(D) bull as a sin[a] offering(E) for the sin he has committed. 4 He is to bring the bull to the entrance to the tent of meeting before the Lord, lay his hand on the bull’s head, and slaughter it before the Lord. 5 The anointed priest will then take some of the bull’s blood and bring it into the tent of meeting. 6 The priest is to dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle some of it seven times(F) before the Lord in front of the curtain(G) of the sanctuary.(H) 7 The priest is to apply some of the blood to the horns of the altar of fragrant incense(I) that is before the Lord in the tent of meeting. He must pour out the rest of the bull’s blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering(J) that is at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 8 He is to remove all the fat from the bull of the sin offering: the fat surrounding the entrails, all the fat that is on the entrails, 9 and the two kidneys with the fat on them at the loins. He will also remove the fatty lobe of the liver with the kidneys, 10 just as the fat is removed from the ox of the fellowship sacrifice.(K) The priest is to burn them on the altar of burnt offering. 11 But the hide(L) of the bull and all its flesh, with its head and legs, and its entrails and waste – 12 all the rest of the bull – he must bring to a ceremonially clean place(M) outside the camp(N) to the ash heap, and must burn it on a wood fire. It is to be burned at the ash heap.
13 ‘Now if the whole community of Israel(O) errs,(P) and the matter escapes the notice of the assembly,(Q) so that they violate any of the Lord’s commands and incur guilt(R) by doing what is prohibited, 14 then the assembly must present a young bull as a sin offering. They are to bring it before the tent of meeting when the sin they have committed in regard to the command becomes known. 15 The elders(S) of the community are to lay their hands on the bull’s head before the Lord and it is to be slaughtered before the Lord. 16 The anointed priest will bring some of the bull’s blood into the tent of meeting. 17 The priest is to dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the Lord in front of the curtain. 18 He is to apply some of the blood to the horns of the altar that is before the Lord in the tent of meeting. He will pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering that is at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 19 He is to remove all the fat from it and burn it on the altar. 20 He is to offer this bull just as he did with the bull in the sin offering; he will offer it the same way. So the priest will make atonement(T) on their behalf, and they will be forgiven.(U) 21 Then he will bring the bull outside the camp(V) and burn it just as he burned the first bull. It is the sin offering for the assembly.
22 ‘When a leader[b](W) sins and unintentionally violates any of the commands of the Lord his God by doing what is prohibited, and incurs guilt, 23 or someone informs him about the sin he has committed, he is to bring an unblemished male goat(X) as his offering. 24 He is to lay his hand on the head of the goat and slaughter it at the place where the burnt offering(Y) is slaughtered before the Lord. It is a sin offering.(Z) 25 Then the priest is to take some of the blood from the sin offering with his finger and apply it to the horns of the altar of burnt offering.(AA) The rest of its blood he is to pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering. 26 He must burn all its fat on the altar, like the fat of the fellowship sacrifice. In this way the priest will make atonement on his behalf for that person’s sin, and he will be forgiven.
27 ‘Now if any of the common people[c] sins unintentionally by violating one of the Lord’s commands, does what is prohibited, and incurs guilt, 28 or if someone informs him about the sin he has committed, then he is to bring an unblemished female goat as his offering for the sin that he has committed. 29 He is to lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it at the place of the burnt offering. 30 Then the priest is to take some of its blood with his finger and apply it to the horns of the altar of burnt offering. He is to pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar. 31 He is to remove all its fat just as the fat is removed from the fellowship sacrifice. The priest is to burn it on the altar as a pleasing aroma to the Lord. In this way the priest will make atonement on his behalf, and he will be forgiven.
32 ‘Or if the offering that he brings as a sin offering is a lamb,(AB) he is to bring an unblemished female. 33 He is to lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it as a sin offering at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered. 34 Then the priest is to take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and apply it to the horns of the altar of burnt offering. He is to pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar. 35 He is to remove all its fat just as the fat of the lamb is removed from the fellowship sacrifice. The priest will burn it on the altar along with the food offerings to the Lord. In this way the priest will make atonement on his behalf for the sin he has committed, and he will be forgiven.
Leviticus 4
King James Version
4 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin through ignorance against any of the commandments of the Lord concerning things which ought not to be done, and shall do against any of them:
3 If the priest that is anointed do sin according to the sin of the people; then let him bring for his sin, which he hath sinned, a young bullock without blemish unto the Lord for a sin offering.
4 And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord; and shall lay his hand upon the bullock's head, and kill the bullock before the Lord.
5 And the priest that is anointed shall take of the bullock's blood, and bring it to the tabernacle of the congregation:
6 And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the blood seven times before the Lord, before the vail of the sanctuary.
7 And the priest shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar of sweet incense before the Lord, which is in the tabernacle of the congregation; and shall pour all the blood of the bullock at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
8 And he shall take off from it all the fat of the bullock for the sin offering; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,
9 And the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away,
10 As it was taken off from the bullock of the sacrifice of peace offerings: and the priest shall burn them upon the altar of the burnt offering.
11 And the skin of the bullock, and all his flesh, with his head, and with his legs, and his inwards, and his dung,
12 Even the whole bullock shall he carry forth without the camp unto a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn him on the wood with fire: where the ashes are poured out shall he be burnt.
13 And if the whole congregation of Israel sin through ignorance, and the thing be hid from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done somewhat against any of the commandments of the Lord concerning things which should not be done, and are guilty;
14 When the sin, which they have sinned against it, is known, then the congregation shall offer a young bullock for the sin, and bring him before the tabernacle of the congregation.
15 And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands upon the head of the bullock before the Lord: and the bullock shall be killed before the Lord.
16 And the priest that is anointed shall bring of the bullock's blood to the tabernacle of the congregation:
17 And the priest shall dip his finger in some of the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before the Lord, even before the vail.
18 And he shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar which is before the Lord, that is in the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall pour out all the blood at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
19 And he shall take all his fat from him, and burn it upon the altar.
20 And he shall do with the bullock as he did with the bullock for a sin offering, so shall he do with this: and the priest shall make an atonement for them, and it shall be forgiven them.
21 And he shall carry forth the bullock without the camp, and burn him as he burned the first bullock: it is a sin offering for the congregation.
22 When a ruler hath sinned, and done somewhat through ignorance against any of the commandments of the Lord his God concerning things which should not be done, and is guilty;
23 Or if his sin, wherein he hath sinned, come to his knowledge; he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a male without blemish:
24 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat, and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before the Lord: it is a sin offering.
25 And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out his blood at the bottom of the altar of burnt offering.
26 And he shall burn all his fat upon the altar, as the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings: and the priest shall make an atonement for him as concerning his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.
27 And if any one of the common people sin through ignorance, while he doeth somewhat against any of the commandments of the Lord concerning things which ought not to be done, and be guilty;
28 Or if his sin, which he hath sinned, come to his knowledge: then he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a female without blemish, for his sin which he hath sinned.
29 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering.
30 And the priest shall take of the blood thereof with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all the blood thereof at the bottom of the altar.
31 And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat is taken away from off the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savour unto the Lord; and the priest shall make an atonement for him, and it shall be forgiven him.
32 And if he bring a lamb for a sin offering, he shall bring it a female without blemish.
33 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay it for a sin offering in the place where they kill the burnt offering.
34 And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all the blood thereof at the bottom of the altar:
35 And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat of the lamb is taken away from the sacrifice of the peace offerings; and the priest shall burn them upon the altar, according to the offerings made by fire unto the Lord: and the priest shall make an atonement for his sin that he hath committed, and it shall be forgiven him.
