Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If [a]any shall sin through [b]ignorance, in any of the commandments of the Lord, (which ought not to be done) but shall do contrary to any of them,

If [c]the Priest that is anointed do sin (according to the sin of the people) then shall he offer, for his sin which he hath sinned, a young bullock without blemish unto the Lord for a sin offering,

And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation before the Lord, and shall put his hand upon the bullock’s head, and [d]kill the bullock before the Lord.
