English Standard Version

Laws for Sin Offerings

4 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ² “Speak to the people of Israel, saying, ^(A)If anyone sins unintentionally^[a] in any of the Lord's commandments ^(B)about things not to be done, and does any one of them, ³ if it is the anointed priest who ^(C)sins, thus bringing guilt on the people, then he shall offer for the sin that he has committed ^(D)a bull from the herd without blemish to the Lord for a sin offering. ⁴ He shall bring the bull to the ^(E)entrance of the tent of meeting before the Lord and lay his hand on the head of the bull and kill the bull before the Lord. ⁵ And the anointed priest ^(F)shall take some of the blood of the bull and bring it into the tent of meeting, ⁶ and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and ^(G)sprinkle part of the blood seven times before the Lord in front of the veil of the sanctuary. ⁷ And the priest ^(H)shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of fragrant incense before the Lord that is in the tent of meeting, and ^(I)all the rest of the blood of the bull he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering that is at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
