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)

²³ and the sin he has committed becomes known, he must bring as his offering a male goat^(A) without defect.

¹⁵ Besides the regular burnt offering^(A) with its drink offering, one male goat^(B) is to be presented to the Lord as a sin offering.^[a](C)

¹⁵ “When anyone is unfaithful to the Lord by sinning unintentionally^(A) in regard to any of the Lord’s holy things, they are to bring to the Lord as a penalty^(B) a ram^(C) from the flock, one without defect and of the proper value in silver, according to the sanctuary shekel.^[a](D) It is a guilt offering.^(E)

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^(B) as a sin offering^(C) and present it before the tent of meeting. ¹⁵ The elders^(D) of the community are to lay their hands^(E) on the bull’s head^(F) before the Lord, and the bull shall be slaughtered before the Lord.^{(G) 16} Then the anointed priest is to take some of the bull’s blood^(H) into the tent of meeting. ¹⁷ He shall dip his finger into the blood and sprinkle^(I) it before the Lord^(J) seven times in front of the curtain. ¹⁸ He is to put some of the blood^(K) on the horns of the altar that is before the Lord^(L) in the tent of meeting. The rest of the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar^(M) of burnt offering at the entrance to the tent of meeting. ¹⁹ He shall remove all the fat^(N) from it and burn it on the altar,^{(O) 20} and do with this bull just as he did with the bull for the sin offering. In this way the priest will make atonement^(P) for the community, and they will be forgiven.^{(Q) 21} Then he shall take the bull outside the camp^(R) and burn it as he burned the first bull. This is the sin offering for the community.^(S)

³⁵ Then the exiles who had returned from captivity sacrificed burnt offerings to the God of Israel: twelve bulls^(A) for all Israel,^(B) ninety-six rams, seventy-seven male lambs and, as a sin offering,^[a] twelve male goats.^(C) All this was a burnt offering to the Lord.

¹⁷ For the dedication of this house of God they offered^(A) a hundred bulls, two hundred rams, four hundred male lambs and, as a sin offering^[a] for all Israel, twelve male goats, one for each of the tribes of Israel.

²¹ They brought seven bulls, seven rams, seven male lambs and seven male goats^(A) as a sin offering^[a](B) for the kingdom, for the sanctuary and for Judah. The king commanded the priests, the descendants of Aaron, to offer these on the altar of the Lord. ²² So they slaughtered the bulls, and the priests took the blood and splashed it against the altar; next they slaughtered the rams and splashed their blood against the altar; then they slaughtered the lambs and splashed their blood^(C) against the altar. ²³ The goats^(D) for the sin offering were brought before the king and the assembly, and they laid their hands^(E) on them. ²⁴ The priests then slaughtered the goats and presented their blood on the altar for a sin offering to atone^(F) for all Israel, because the king had ordered the burnt offering and the sin offering for all Israel.^(G)

⁸ “‘When you prepare a young bull^(A) as a burnt offering or sacrifice, for a special vow^(B) or a fellowship offering^(C) to the Lord, ⁹ bring with the bull a grain offering^(D) of three-tenths of an ephah^[a](E) of the finest flour mixed with half a hin^[b] of olive oil, ¹⁰ and also bring half a hin of wine^(F) as a drink offering.^(G) This will be a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.^(H)
