Leviticus, starting at chapter 4
{4:1} Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, {4:2} "Speak to the children of
Israel, saying, 'If anyone sins unintentionally, in any of the things
which Yahweh has commanded not to be done, and does any one of them:
{4:3} if the anointed priest sins so as to bring guilt on the people,
then let him offer for his sin, which he has sinned, a young bull
without blemish to Yahweh for a sin offering. {4:4} He shall bring the
bull to the door of the Tent of Meeting before Yahweh; and he shall
lay his hand on the head of the bull, and kill the bull before Yahweh.
{4:5} The anointed priest shall take some of the blood of the bull,
and bring it to the Tent of Meeting. {4:6} The priest shall dip his
finger in the blood, and sprinkle some of the blood seven times before
Yahweh, before the veil of the sanctuary. {4:7} The priest shall put
some of the blood on the horns of the altar of sweet incense before
Yahweh, which is in the Tent of Meeting; and he shall pour out all of
rest of the blood of the bull at the base of the altar of burnt
offering, which is at the door of the Tent of Meeting. {4:8} He shall
take all the fat of the bull of the sin offering off of it; the fat
that covers the innards, and all the fat that is on the innards, {4:9}
and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the
loins, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys, he shall take
away, {4:10} as it is taken off of the bull of the sacrifice of peace
offerings. The priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering.
{4:11} The bull's skin, all its flesh, with its head, and with its
legs, its innards, and its dung, {4:12} even the whole bull shall he
carry forth outside the camp to a clean place, where the ashes are
poured out, and burn it on wood with fire. Where the ashes are poured
out it shall be burned.
{4:13} "'If the whole congregation of Israel sins, and the thing is
hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done any of the
things which Yahweh has commanded not to be done, and are guilty;
{4:14} when the sin in which they have sinned is known, then the
assembly shall offer a young bull for a sin offering, and bring it
before the Tent of Meeting. {4:15} The elders of the congregation
shall lay their hands on the head of the bull before Yahweh; and the
bull shall be killed before Yahweh. {4:16} The anointed priest shall
bring of the blood of the bull to the Tent of Meeting: {4:17} and the
priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle it seven times
before Yahweh, before the veil. {4:18} He shall put some of the blood
on the horns of the altar which is before Yahweh, that is in the Tent
of Meeting; and the rest of the blood he shall pour out at the base of
the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the Tent of
Meeting. {4:19} All its fat he shall take from it, and burn it on the
altar. {4:20} Thus shall he do with the bull; as he did with the bull
of the sin offering, so shall he do with this; and the priest shall
make atonement for them, and they shall be forgiven. {4:21} He shall
carry forth the bull outside the camp, and burn it as he burned the
first bull. It is the sin offering for the assembly.
{4:22} "'When a ruler sins, and unwittingly does any one of all the
things which Yahweh his God has commanded not to be done, and is
guilty; {4:23} if his sin, in which he has sinned, is made known to
him, he shall bring as his offering a goat, a male without blemish.
{4:24} He shall lay his hand on the head of the goat, and kill it in
the place where they kill the burnt offering before Yahweh. It is a
sin offering. {4:25} 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. He shall pour out the rest of its blood at the base of
the altar of burnt offering. {4:26} All its fat he shall burn on the
altar, like the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the
priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin, and he will be
forgiven.
{4:27} "'If anyone of the common people sins unwittingly, in doing
any of the things which Yahweh has commanded not to be done, and is
guilty; {4:28} if his sin, which he has sinned, is made known to him,
then he shall bring for his offering a goat, a female without blemish,
for his sin which he has sinned. {4:29} He shall lay his hand on the
head of the sin offering, and kill the sin offering in the place of
burnt offering. {4:30} The priest shall take some of its blood with
his finger, and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering;
and the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar.
{4:31} All its fat he shall take away, like the fat is taken away from
off of the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn it
on the altar for a pleasant aroma to Yahweh; and the priest shall make
atonement for him, and he will be forgiven.
{4:32} "'If he brings a lamb as his offering for a sin offering, he
shall bring a female without blemish. {4:33} He shall lay his hand on
the head of the sin offering, and kill it for a sin offering in the
place where they kill the burnt offering. {4:34} 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 all the rest of its
blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar. {4:35} All its fat
he shall take away, like the fat of the lamb is taken away from the
sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn them on the
altar, on the offerings of Yahweh made by fire; and the priest shall
make atonement for him concerning his sin that he has sinned, and he
will be forgiven.
{5:1} "'If anyone sins, in that he hears the voice of adjuration, he
being a witness, whether he has seen or known, if he doesn't report
it, then he shall bear his iniquity.
{5:2} "'Or if anyone touches any unclean thing, whether it is the
carcass of an unclean animal, or the carcass of unclean livestock, or
the carcass of unclean creeping things, and it is hidden from him, and
he is unclean, then he shall be guilty.
{5:3} "'Or if he touches the uncleanness of man, whatever his
uncleanness is with which he is unclean, and it is hidden from him;
when he knows of it, then he shall be guilty.
{5:4} "'Or if anyone swears rashly with his lips to do evil, or to
do good, whatever it is that a man might utter rashly with an oath,
and it is hidden from him; when he knows of it, then he shall be
guilty of one of these. {5:5} It shall be, when he is guilty of one of
these, he shall confess that in which he has sinned: {5:6} and he
shall bring his trespass offering to Yahweh for his sin which he has
sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a goat, for a sin offering;
and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin.
{5:7} "'If he can't afford a lamb, then he shall bring his trespass
offering for that in which he has sinned, two turtledoves, or two
young pigeons, to Yahweh; one for a sin offering, and the other for a
burnt offering. {5:8} He shall bring them to the priest, who shall
first offer the one which is for the sin offering, and wring off its
head from its neck, but shall not sever it completely. {5:9} He shall
sprinkle some of the blood of the sin offering on the side of the
altar; and the rest of the blood shall be drained out at the base of
the altar. It is a sin offering. {5:10} He shall offer the second for
a burnt offering, according to the ordinance; and the priest shall
make atonement for him concerning his sin which he has sinned, and he
shall be forgiven.
{5:11} "'But if he can't afford two turtledoves, or two young
pigeons, then he shall bring his offering for that in which he has
sinned, the tenth part of an [1>]ephah[<1] of fine flour for a sin
offering. He shall put no oil on it, neither shall he put any
frankincense on it, for it is a sin offering. {5:12} He shall bring it
to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it as the
memorial portion, and burn it on the altar, on the offerings of Yahweh
made by fire. It is a sin offering. {5:13} The priest shall make
atonement for him concerning his sin that he has sinned in any of
these things, and he will be forgiven; and the rest shall be the
priest's, as the meal offering.'"
{5:14} Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, {5:15} "If anyone commits a
trespass, and sins unwittingly, in the holy things of Yahweh; then he
shall bring his trespass offering to Yahweh, a ram without blemish
from the flock, according to your estimation in silver by shekels,
after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering. {5:16} He
shall make restitution for that which he has done wrong in the holy
thing, and shall add a fifth part to it, and give it to the priest;
and the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the
trespass offering, and he will be forgiven.
{5:17} "If anyone sins, and does any of the things which Yahweh has
commanded not to be done; though he didn't know it, yet he is guilty,
and shall bear his iniquity. {5:18} He shall bring a ram without
blemish from of the flock, according to your estimation, for a
trespass offering, to the priest; and the priest shall make atonement
for him concerning the thing in which he sinned and didn't know it,
and he will be forgiven. {5:19} It is a trespass offering. He is
certainly guilty before Yahweh."
{6:1} Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, {6:2} "If anyone sins, and
commits a trespass against Yahweh, and deals falsely with his neighbor
in a matter of deposit, or of bargain, or of robbery, or has oppressed
his neighbor, {6:3} or has found that which was lost, and dealt
falsely therein, and swearing to a lie; in any of all these things
that a man does, sinning therein; {6:4} then it shall be, if he has
sinned, and is guilty, he shall restore that which he took by robbery,
or the thing which he has gotten by oppression, or the deposit which
was committed to him, or the lost thing which he found, {6:5} or any
thing about which he has sworn falsely; he shall restore it even in
full, and shall add a fifth part more to it. To him to whom it belongs
he shall give it, in the day of his being found guilty. {6:6} He shall
bring his trespass offering to Yahweh, a ram without blemish from the
flock, according to your estimation, for a trespass offering, to the
priest. {6:7} The priest shall make atonement for him before Yahweh,
and he will be forgiven concerning whatever he does to become guilty."
{6:8} Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, {6:9} "Command Aaron and his
sons, saying, 'This is the law of the burnt offering: the burnt
offering shall be on the hearth on the altar all night until the
morning; and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning on it. {6:10}
The priest shall put on his linen garment, and he shall put on his
linen breeches upon his body; and he shall remove the ashes from where
the fire has consumed the burnt offering on the altar, and he shall
put them beside the altar. {6:11} He shall take off his garments, and
put on other garments, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a clean
place. {6:12} The fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it, it
shall not go out; and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning:
and he shall lay the burnt offering in order upon it, and shall burn
on it the fat of the peace offerings. {6:13} Fire shall be kept
burning on the altar continually; it shall not go out.
{6:14} "'This is the law of the meal offering: the sons of Aaron
shall offer it before Yahweh, before the altar. {6:15} He shall take
from there his handful of the fine flour of the meal offering, and of
its oil, and all the frankincense which is on the meal offering, and
shall burn it on the altar for a pleasant aroma, as its memorial, to
Yahweh. {6:16} That which is left of it Aaron and his sons shall eat.
It shall be eaten without yeast in a holy place. They shall eat it in
the court of the Tent of Meeting {6:17} It shall not be baked with
yeast. I have given it as their portion of my offerings made by fire.
It is most holy, as the sin offering, and as the trespass offering.
{6:18} Every male among the children of Aaron shall eat of it, as
their portion forever throughout your generations, from the offerings
of Yahweh made by fire. Whoever touches them shall be holy.'"
{6:19} Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, {6:20} "This is the offering
of Aaron and of his sons, which they shall offer to Yahweh in the day
when he is anointed: the tenth part of an [2>]ephah[<2] of fine flour
for a meal offering perpetually, half of it in the morning, and half
of it in the evening. {6:21} It shall be made with oil in a griddle.
When it is soaked, you shall bring it in. You shall offer the meal
offering in baked pieces for a pleasant aroma to Yahweh. {6:22} The
anointed priest that will be in his place from among his sons shall
offer it. By a statute forever, it shall be wholly burnt to Yahweh.
{6:23} Every meal offering of a priest shall be wholly burned. It
shall not be eaten."
{6:24} Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, {6:25} "Speak to Aaron and to
his sons, saying, 'This is the law of the sin offering: in the place
where the burnt offering is killed, the sin offering shall be killed
before Yahweh. It is most holy. {6:26} The priest who offers it for
sin shall eat it. It shall be eaten in a holy place, in the court of
the Tent of Meeting. {6:27} Whatever shall touch its flesh shall be
holy. When there is any of its blood sprinkled on a garment, you shall
wash that on which it was sprinkled in a holy place. {6:28} But the
earthen vessel in which it is boiled shall be broken; and if it is
boiled in a bronze vessel, it shall be scoured, and rinsed in water.
{6:29} Every male among the priests shall eat of it: it is most holy.
{6:30} No sin offering, of which any of the blood is brought into the
Tent of Meeting to make atonement in the Holy Place, shall be eaten:
it shall be burned with fire.
