THE SIN OFFERING

4 Then the Lord spoke to Moses: 2 “Tell the Israelites: When someone sins unintentionallyq against any of the Lord’s commands and does anything prohibited by them—

3 “If the anointed priestr sins, bringing guilts on the people, he is to present to the Lord a young, unblemishedt bull as a sinC offeringu 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 timesv before the Lord in front of the curtainw of the sanctuary.x 7 The priest is to apply some of the blood to the horns of the altar of fragrant incensey 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 offeringz 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.aa The priest is to burn them on the altar of burnt offering. 11 But the hideab 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 placeac outside the campad to the ash heap, and must burn it on a wood fire. It is to be burned at the ash heap.
