Leviticus 4:13–21

¹³“ ‘If the whole Israelite community sins unintentionally^h 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 ¹⁴and the sin they committed becomes known, the assembly must bring a young bullⁱ as a sin offering^j and present it before the tent of meeting. ¹⁵The elders^k of the community are to lay their hands^l on the bull’s head^m before the Lord, and the bull shall be slaughtered before the Lord.^{n 16}Then the anointed priest is to take some of the bull’s blood^o into the tent of meeting. ¹⁷He shall dip his finger into the blood and sprinkle^p it before the Lord^q seven times in front of the curtain. ¹⁸He is to put some of the blood^r on the horns of the altar that is before the Lord^s in the tent of meeting. The rest of the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar^t of burnt offering at the entrance to the tent of meeting. ¹⁹He shall remove all the fat^u from it and burn it on the altar,^{v 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^w for the community, and they will be forgiven.^{x 21}Then he shall take the bull outside the camp^y and burn it as he burned the first bull. This is the sin offering for the community.^z
