¹³“ ‘If^c Israel’s whole assembly did wrong unintentionally and the matter^d was concealed from the assembly’s eyes, and they acted^e against any of^f Yahweh’s commands that should not be violated,^g so that^h they incur guilt, ¹⁴whenⁱ the sin that they have committed^j against that command^k becomes known, the assembly^l shall present a young bull^m as a sin offering, and they shall bring it before the tent of assembly. ¹⁵And the elders of the community shall place their hands on the bull’s head before Yahweh, and heⁿ shall slaughter the bull before Yahweh. ¹⁶Then the anointed priest shall bring some of^o the bull’s blood to the tent of assembly, ¹⁷and the priest shall dip his finger in^p the blood and shall spatter it seven times before Yahweh in front of the curtain. ¹⁸He must put^q some of^r the blood on the altar’s horns before Yahweh in the tent of assembly,^s and all the rest^t of the blood he must pour out on the base of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the tent of assembly’s entrance. ¹⁹He must remove^u all its fat from it, and he shall turn it into smoke on the altar. ²⁰He shall do^v to the bull just as^w he did to the sin offering’s bull, so he must do to it. The priest^x shall make atonement for them, and they will be forgiven.^y ²¹He shall bring^z the rest of^a the bull outside the camp,^b and he shall burn it just as^c he burned the first bull; it is the sin offering for the assembly.
