¹³ “‘If the whole Israelite community sins unintentionally^(A) 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 ¹⁴ and the sin they committed becomes known, the assembly must bring a young bull^(B) as a sin offering^(C) and present it before the tent of meeting. ¹⁵ The elders^(D) of the community are to lay their hands^(E) on the bull’s head^(F) before the Lord, and the bull shall be slaughtered before the Lord.^{(G) 16} Then the anointed priest is to take some of the bull’s blood^(H) into the tent of meeting. ¹⁷ He shall dip his finger into the blood and sprinkle^(I) it before the Lord^(J) seven times in front of the curtain. ¹⁸ He is to put some of the blood^(K) on the horns of the altar that is before the Lord^(L) in the tent of meeting. The rest of the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar^(M) of burnt offering at the entrance to the tent of meeting. ¹⁹ He shall remove all the fat^(N) from it and burn it on the altar,^{(O) 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^(P) for the community, and they will be forgiven.^{(Q) 21} Then he shall take the bull outside the camp^(R) and burn it as he burned the first bull. This is the sin offering for the community.^(S)

²² “‘When a leader^(T) sins unintentionally^(U) and does what is forbidden in any of the commands of the Lord his God, when he realizes his guilt ²³ and the sin he has committed becomes known, he must bring as his offering a male goat^(V) without defect. ²⁴ He is to lay his hand on the goat’s head and slaughter it at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered before the Lord.^(W) It is a sin offering.^{(X) 25} Then the priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar^(Y) of burnt offering and pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.^{(Z) 26} He shall burn all the fat on the altar as he burned the fat of the fellowship offering. In this way the priest will make atonement^(AA) for the leader’s sin, and he will be forgiven.^(AB)

²⁷ “‘If any member of the community sins unintentionally^(AC) and does what is forbidden in any of the Lord’s commands, when they realize their guilt ²⁸ and the sin they have committed becomes known, they must bring as their offering^(AD) for the sin they committed a female goat^(AE) without defect. ²⁹ They are to lay their hand on the head^(AF) of the sin offering^(AG) and slaughter it at the place of the burnt offering.^{(AH) 30} Then the priest is to take some of the blood with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering^(AI) and pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar. ³¹ They shall remove all the fat, just as the fat is removed from the fellowship offering, and the priest shall burn it on the altar^(AJ) as an aroma pleasing to the Lord.^(AK) In this way the priest will make atonement^(AL) for them, and they will be forgiven.^(AM)

³² “‘If someone brings a lamb^(AN) as their sin offering, they are to bring a female without defect.^{(AO) 33} They are to lay their hand on its head and slaughter it^(AP) for a sin offering^(AQ) at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered.^{(AR) 34} Then the priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering and pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.^{(AS) 35} They shall remove all the fat, just as the fat is removed from the lamb of the fellowship offering, and the priest shall burn it on the altar^(AT) on top of the food offerings presented to the Lord. In this way the priest will make atonement for them for the sin they have committed, and they will be forgiven.

¹⁵ “He shall then slaughter the goat for the sin offering for the people^(A) and take its blood behind the curtain^(B) and do with it as he did with the bull’s blood: He shall sprinkle^(C) it on the atonement cover and in front of it. ¹⁶ In this way he will make atonement^(D) for the Most Holy Place^(E) because of the uncleanness and rebellion of the Israelites, whatever their sins have been. He is to do the same for the tent of meeting,^(F) which is among them in the midst of their uncleanness. ¹⁷ No one is to be in the tent of meeting from the time Aaron goes in to make atonement in the Most Holy Place until he comes out, having made atonement for himself, his household and the whole community of Israel.

²⁴ and if this is done unintentionally^(A) without the community being aware of it,^(B) then the whole community is to offer a young bull for a burnt offering^(C) as an aroma pleasing to the Lord,^(D) along with its prescribed grain offering^(E) and drink offering,^(F) and a male goat for a sin offering.^{[a](G) 25} The priest is to make atonement for the whole Israelite community, and they will be forgiven,^(H) for it was not intentional^(I) and they have presented to the Lord for their wrong a food offering^(J) and a sin offering.^{(K) 26} The whole Israelite community and the foreigners residing among them will be forgiven, because all the people were involved in the unintentional wrong.^(L)
