Beginning

1 ¶ And the LORD called unto Moses, and spoke unto him out of the tabernacle of the testimony, saying,

² Speak unto the sons of Israel and say unto them, When any of you offers an offering unto the LORD of animals, of cattle, even of the cows, or of the sheep ye shall make your offering.

³ ¶ If his offering is a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish; he shall offer it of his own free will at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony before the LORD.

⁴ And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering, and he shall accept it to reconcile him.

⁵ Then he shall kill the bullock before the LORD; and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall offer the blood and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of the testimony.

⁶ And he shall flay the burnt offering and cut it into its pieces.

⁷ And the sons of Aaron, the priest, shall put fire upon the altar and lay the wood in order upon the fire.

⁸ Then the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall lay the parts, the head and the fat, in order upon the wood that is on the fire which shall be upon the altar;

⁹ but he shall wash its intestines and its legs in water, and the priest shall incense it all on the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering on fire, of a very acceptable aroma unto the LORD.

¹⁰ ¶ And if his offering is of the sheep, namely of the lambs or of the goats, for a burnt sacrifice, he shall offer a male without blemish.

¹¹ And he must kill it on the side of the altar, to the Aquilon before the LORD; and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall sprinkle its blood round about upon the altar.

¹² And he shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat; and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which shall be upon the altar;

¹³ and he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water; and the priest shall offer it all and incense it upon the altar; it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering on fire, of a very acceptable aroma unto the LORD.

¹⁴ And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the LORD is to be of fowls, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves or of young pigeons.

¹⁵ And the priest shall offer it upon the altar and wring off its head and incense it on the altar; and its blood shall be wrung out upon the side of the altar:

¹⁶ And he shall pluck away its crop and its feathers and cast them beside the altar on the east part, by the place of the ashes with the burnt fat.

¹⁷ And he shall cleave it by its wings but shall not divide it in two; and the priest shall incense it upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire; it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering on fire of a very acceptable aroma unto the LORD.

2 ¶ And when any person will offer a present unto the LORD, his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it and put frankincense thereon;

² and he shall bring it to Aaron’s sons the priests, who shall take out a handful of the flour thereof, with its oil, with all its frankincense; and the priest shall incense it upon the altar, to be an offering on fire, of an aroma very acceptable unto the LORD.

³ And that which is left of the present shall be Aaron’s and his sons’; it is a thing most holy of the offerings on fire of the LORD.

⁴ And if thou shall offer a present baked in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil and unleavened wafers anointed with oil.

⁵ And if thy present is an offering baked in a pan, it shall be of fine flour unleavened, mingled with oil.

⁶ Thou shalt part it in pieces and pour oil thereon; it shall be a present.

⁷ And if thy present is an offering cooked in a pot, it shall be made of fine flour with oil.

⁸ And thou shalt bring the present that is made of these things unto the LORD and offer it unto the priest, who shall bring it unto the altar.

⁹ And the priest shall take from that present a memorial thereof and shall incense it upon the altar; it shall be an offering on fire, of a very acceptable aroma unto the LORD.

¹⁰ And that which is left of the present shall be Aaron’s and his sons’; it is a thing most holy of the offerings on fire of the LORD.

¹¹ ¶ No present which ye shall offer unto the LORD shall be with leaven; for of nothing leavened, nor any honey, shall ye make any offering incensed unto the LORD.

¹² In the offering of the firstfruits ye shall offer them unto the LORD, but they shall not be offered on the altar for an acceptable aroma.

¹³ And every offering of thy present shalt thou season with salt, and thou shalt never allow the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy present; with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt.

¹⁴ And if thou offer a present of thy firstfruits unto the LORD, thou shalt offer for the offering of thy firstfruits green ears of grain dried by the fire, even grain beaten out of full ears.

¹⁵ And thou shalt put oil upon it and lay frankincense thereon: this shall be a present.

¹⁶ And the priest shall incense the memorial of it, part of the beaten grain thereof, and part of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof: this shall be an offering on fire unto the LORD.

3 ¶ And if his offering is a sacrifice of peace, if he offers it of the bovine cattle, whether it is male or female, he shall offer it without blemish before the LORD.

² And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering and kill it at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, and Aaron’s sons the priests shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about.

³ Then he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace for an offering on fire unto the LORD: the fat that covers the intestines and all the fat that is upon the inwards,

⁴ and the two kidneys and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks and with the kidneys; he shall take away the caul above the liver.

⁵ And Aaron’s sons shall incense it on the altar with the burnt sacrifice, which shall be upon the wood that is on the fire; and this shall be an offering on fire, of a very acceptable aroma unto the LORD.

⁶ ¶ And if his offering for a sacrifice of peace unto the LORD is of the sheep, male or female, he shall offer it without blemish.

⁷ If he offers a lamb for his offering, he shall offer it before the LORD;

⁸ and he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering and then kill it before the tabernacle of the testimony; and Aaron’s sons shall sprinkle its blood round about upon the altar.

⁹ And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace an offering on fire unto the LORD: its fat and the whole tail, which he shall take off from the backbone and the fat that covers the intestines and all the fat that is upon the inwards,

¹⁰ likewise the two kidneys and the fat that is upon them and that which is upon the flanks and with the kidneys he shall take away the caul above the liver.

¹¹ And the priest shall incense it upon the altar, and this shall be the food of the offering on fire unto the LORD.

¹² And if his offering is a goat, then he shall offer it before the LORD;

¹³ and he shall lay his hand upon the head of it and kill it before the tabernacle of the testimony; and the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle its blood upon the altar round about.

¹⁴ Then he shall offer thereof his offering, even an offering on fire unto the LORD: the fat that covers the intestines and all the fat that is upon the inwards,

¹⁵ and the two kidneys and the fat that is upon them and that which is upon the flanks and with the kidneys he shall take away the caul above the liver.

¹⁶ And the priest shall incense them upon the altar; and this shall be the food of the offering on fire of a very acceptable aroma unto the LORD; all the fat is the LORD’s.

¹⁷ It shall be a perpetual statute for your ages; throughout all your dwellings that ye shall eat no fat and no blood.

4 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

² Speak unto the sons 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 any of them,

³ if the priest that is anointed sins according to the guiltiness of the people, he shall offer for his sin, which he has committed, a young bullock without blemish unto the LORD for his sin.

⁴ And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the tabernacle of the testimony 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 testimony;

⁶ and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle of the blood seven times before the LORD, before the veil of the sanctuary.

⁷ And the priest shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar of aromatic incense before the LORD, which is in the tabernacle of the testimony, 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 testimony.

⁸ And he shall take off all the fat of the bullock for the sin: the fat that covers the intestines and all the fat that is upon the inwards,

⁹ and the two kidneys and the fat that is upon them, and that which is upon the flanks and with the kidneys he shall take away the caul above the liver,

¹⁰ as it was taken off from the bullock of the sacrifice of peace; and the priest shall incense them upon the altar of the burnt offering.

¹¹ And the skin of the bullock and all its flesh, with its head and with its legs, and his intestines and his dung,

¹² even the whole bullock he shall carry forth outside the camp unto a clean place, where the ashes with the burnt fat are poured out and burn it on the wood with fire, where the ashes with the burnt fat are poured out shall it be burnt.

¹³ ¶ And if the whole congregation of Israel sins through ignorance and the thing was hid from the eyes of the assembly and they have done something 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 committed, is understood, then the congregation shall offer a young bullock as the sin and bring it before the tabernacle of the testimony.

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 testimony.

¹⁷ And the priest shall dip his finger in some of the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD, even before the veil.

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 testimony 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 testimony.

¹⁹ And he shall take all the fat and incense it upon the altar.

²⁰ And he shall do with this bullock as he did with the bullock of the sin, so shall he do with this; and thus the priest shall reconcile them, and they shall obtain forgiveness.

²¹ And he shall carry forth the bullock outside the camp and burn it as he burned the first bullock; it is the sin of the congregation.

²² ¶ When the prince has sinned and done something through ignorance against any of the commandments of the LORD his God concerning things which should not be done and is guilty,

²³ as soon as he is notified of his sin, which he has committed, then he shall bring his offering, a he goat, a male without blemish.

²⁴ And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the he goat and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before the LORD; it is sin.

²⁵ And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin with his finger and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering and shall pour out its blood at the bottom of the altar of burnt offering;

²⁶ and he shall burn all its fat upon the altar, as the fat of the sacrifice of peace; thus shall the priest reconcile him as concerning his sin, and he shall have forgiveness.

²⁷ ¶ And if any one of the people of the land sins through ignorance, by doing something against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which ought not to be done, and is guilty,

²⁸ as soon as his sin, which he has committed, comes to his knowledge, then he shall bring as his offering, a she goat, a female without blemish, for his sin which he has committed.

²⁹ And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin and slay the sin in the place of the burnt offering.

³⁰ Then 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 its blood at the bottom of the altar.

³¹ And he shall take away all its fat, as the fat was taken away from off the sacrifice of peace; and the priest shall incense it upon the altar in a very acceptable aroma unto the LORD; and thus shall the priest reconcile him, and he shall have forgiveness.

³² And if he brings a lamb as his offering, as the sin, he shall bring a female without blemish.

³³ And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin and slay the sin in the place where they kill the burnt offering.

³⁴ And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering and shall pour out all its blood at the bottom of the altar.

³⁵ And he shall take away all its fat, as the fat of the lamb of the sacrifice of peace was taken away; and the priest shall incense it upon the altar in an offering on fire unto the LORD; and thus shall the priest reconcile him from his sin that he has committed, and he shall have forgiveness.
