Leviticus 4

New American Standard Bible

The Law of Sin Offerings

4 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ²“Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘If a person sins ^(A)unintentionally in any of the ^[a]things which the Lord has ^(B)commanded not to be done, and commits any of them, ³^(C)if the anointed priest sins so as to bring guilt on the people, then he is to offer to the Lord a ^[b]bull without defect as a sin offering for his sin which he has ^[c]committed. ⁴He shall bring the bull to the doorway of the tent of meeting before the Lord, and ^(D)he shall lay his hand on the head of the bull and slaughter the bull before the Lord. ⁵Then the ^(E)anointed priest is to take some of the blood of the bull and bring it to the tent of meeting, ⁶and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle some of the blood seven times before the Lord, in front of ^(F)the veil of the sanctuary. ⁷The priest shall also put some of the blood on the horns of ^(G)the altar of fragrant incense which is before the Lord in the tent of meeting; and all 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 doorway of the tent of meeting. ⁸And ^(H)he shall remove from it all the fat of the bull of the sin offering: the fat that covers the entrails, and all the fat which is on the entrails, ⁹and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them, which is on the loins, and the ^[d]lobe of the liver, which he shall remove ^(I)with the kidneys ¹⁰(just as it is removed from the ox of the sacrifice of peace offerings); and the priest is to offer them up in smoke on the altar of burnt offering. ¹¹But ^(J)the hide of the bull and all its flesh, along with its head, its legs, its entrails, and its refuse, ¹²^[e]that is, all the rest of the bull, he is to bring out to ^(K)a clean place outside the camp where the fatty ashes are poured out, and burn it on wood with fire; where the fatty ashes are poured out it shall be burned.

¹³‘^(L)Now if the entire congregation of Israel does wrong unintentionally and the matter ^[f]escapes the notice of the assembly, and they commit any of the ^[g]things which the Lord has commanded not to be done, and they become guilty; ¹⁴^(M)when the sin ^[h]which they have ^[i]committed becomes known, then the assembly shall offer ^(N)a ^[j]bull of the herd as a sin offering and bring it in front of the tent of meeting. ¹⁵Then ^(O)the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the bull before the Lord, and the bull shall be slaughtered ^(P)before the Lord. ¹⁶Then the anointed priest is to bring some of the blood of the bull to the tent of meeting; ¹⁷and ^(Q)the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the Lord, in front of the veil. ¹⁸He shall then put some of the blood on the horns of ^(R)the altar which is before the Lord ^[k]in the tent of meeting; and all the rest of 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. ¹⁹And ^(S)he shall remove all its fat from it and offer it up in smoke on the altar. ²⁰He shall also do with the bull just as he did with ^(T)the bull of the sin offering; he shall do the same with it. So ^(U)the priest shall make atonement for them, and they will be forgiven. ²¹Then he is to bring the bull out to a place outside the camp and burn it just as he burned the first bull; it is ^(V)the sin offering for the assembly.

²²‘When ^(W)a leader ^(X)sins and unintentionally does any of ^[l]the things which the Lord his God has commanded not to be done, and he becomes guilty, ²³^[m]^(Y)if his sin ^[n]which he has committed is made known to him, he shall bring as his offering a ^[o]^(Z)goat, ^(AA)a male without defect. ²⁴And he shall lay his hand on the head of the male goat and slaughter it in the place where they slaughter the burnt offering before the Lord; it is a sin offering. ²⁵Then the priest is to take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it on ^(AB)the horns of the altar of burnt offering; and the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering. ²⁶And he shall offer ^(AC)all its fat up in smoke on the altar as in the case of the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings. So ^(AD)the priest shall make atonement for him regarding his sin, and he will be forgiven.

²⁷‘Now if ^[p]anyone of the ^[q]common people sins ^(AE)unintentionally by doing any of the ^[r]things which the Lord has commanded not to be done, and becomes guilty, ²⁸^[s]^(AF)if his sin which he has ^[t]committed is made known to him, then he shall bring as his offering a ^[u]^(AG)goat, a ^(AH)female without defect, for his sin which he has ^[v]committed. ²⁹And ^(AI)he shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and ^(AJ)slaughter the sin offering at the place of the burnt offering. ³⁰The priest shall then take some of its blood with his finger and put it on the horns of ^(AK)the altar of burnt offering; and ^(AL)all the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar. ³¹^(AM)Then he shall remove all its fat, just as the fat was removed from the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall offer it up in smoke on the altar as ^(AN)a soothing aroma to the Lord. So the priest shall make atonement for him, ^[w]and he will be forgiven.

³²‘But if he brings ^(AO)a lamb as his offering for a sin offering, he shall bring a female without defect. ³³And ^(AP)he shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it as a sin offering ^(AQ)in the place where they slaughter the burnt offering. ³⁴And the priest is to take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it on the horns of ^(AR)the altar of burnt offering, and ^(AS)all the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar. ³⁵Then he shall remove ^(AT)all its fat, just as the fat of the lamb is removed from the sacrifice of the peace offerings, and the priest shall offer ^[x]it up in smoke on the altar, on the offerings by fire to the Lord. So ^(AU)the priest shall make atonement for him regarding his sin which he has ^[y]committed, and he will be forgiven.

Psalm 1-2

New American Standard Bible

BOOK 1

The Righteous and the Wicked Contrasted.

1 Blessed is the person who ^(A)does not walk in the ^(B)counsel of the wicked,
Nor stand in the ^[a]^(C)path of sinners,
Nor ^(D)sit in the seat of scoffers!
²But his ^(E)delight is ^(F)in the Law of the Lord,
And on His Law he meditates ^(G)day and ^(H)night.
³He will be like ^(I)a tree planted by ^[b]streams of water,
Which yields its fruit in its season,
And its ^[c]leaf does not wither;
And ^[d]in whatever he does, ^(J)he prospers.

⁴The wicked are not so,
But they are like ^(K)chaff which the wind blows away.
⁵Therefore ^(L)the wicked will not stand in the ^(M)judgment,
Nor sinners in ^(N)the assembly of the righteous.
⁶For the Lord ^[e]^(O)knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of ^(P)the wicked will perish.

The Reign of the Lord’s Anointed.

2 Why are ^(Q)the ^[f]nations restless
And the peoples ^(R)plotting in vain?
²The ^(S)kings of the earth take their stand
And the rulers conspire together
^(T)Against the Lord and against His ^[g]^(U)Anointed, saying,
³“Let’s ^(V)tear their shackles apart
And throw their ropes away from us!”

⁴He who ^[h]sits in the heavens ^(W)laughs,
The Lord ^(X)scoffs at them.
⁵Then He will speak to them in His ^(Y)anger
And ^(Z)terrify them in His fury, saying,
⁶“But as for Me, I have installed ^(AA)My King
Upon Zion, ^(AB)My holy mountain.”

⁷“I will announce the ^[i]decree of the Lord:
He said to Me, ‘You are ^(AC)My Son,
Today I have fathered You.
⁸Ask it of Me, and ^(AD)I will certainly give ^(AE)the ^[j]nations as Your inheritance,
And the ^(AF)ends of the earth as Your possession.
⁹You shall ^[k]^(AG)break them with a ^[l]rod of iron,
You shall ^(AH)shatter them like ^[m]earthenware.’”

¹⁰Now then, you kings, ^(AI)use insight;
Let yourselves be instructed, you ^[n]judges of the earth.
¹¹Serve the Lord with ^[o]^(AJ)reverence
And rejoice with ^(AK)trembling.
¹²^[p]Kiss ^(AL)the Son, that He not be angry and you perish on the way,
For ^(AM)His wrath may be kindled quickly.
How blessed are all who ^(AN)take refuge in Him!
