“ ‘If the anointed priestc sins,d bringing guilt on the people, he must bring to the Lord a young bulle without defectf as a sin offeringg for the sin he has committed.h He is to present the bull at the entrance to the tent of meeting before the Lord.i He is to lay his hand on its head and slaughter it there before the Lord. Then the anointed priest shall take some of the bull’s bloodj and carry it into the tent of meeting. He is to dip his finger into the blood and sprinklek some of it seven times before the Lord,l in front of the curtain of the sanctuary.m The priest shall then put some of the blood on the hornsn of the altar of fragrant incense that is before the Lord in the tent of meeting. The rest of the bull’s blood he shall pour out at the base of the altaro of burnt offeringp at the entrance to the tent of meeting. He shall remove all the fatq from the bull of the sin offering—all the fat that is connected to the internal organs, both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the long lobe of the liver, which he will remove with the kidneysr— just as the fat is removed from the oxs sacrificed as a fellowship offering.t Then the priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering.u But the hide of the bull and all its flesh, as well as the head and legs, the internal organs and the intestinesv— that is, all the rest of the bull—he must take outside the campw to a place ceremonially clean,x where the ashesy are thrown, and burn itz there in a wood fire on the ash heap.a
