1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2. Say to the sons of Israel: The soul which will have sinned through ignorance, and concerning any of the commandments of the Lord that he instructed not to be done, if anything at all has been done:
3. if the priest, who is anointed, will have sinned, causing the people to commit a transgression, he shall offer to the Lord for his sin an immaculate calf.
4. And he shall lead it to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony in the sight of the Lord. And he shall place his hand upon its head, and he shall immolate it to the Lord.
5. Likewise, he shall take from the blood of the calf, carrying it into the tabernacle of the testimony,
6. and having dipped his finger into the blood, he shall sprinkle it seven times in the sight of the Lord, opposite the veil of the Sanctuary.
7. And he shall place some of the same blood over the horns of the altar of most pleasing incense to the Lord, which is in the tabernacle of the testimony. Then he shall pour out the remainder of the blood at the base of the altar of holocaust at the entrance of the tabernacle.
8. And, on behalf of the sin, he shall take the fat of the calf, both that which covers the vital organs and all that is interior,
9. the two little kidneys, and the mesh that is on them near the sides, and the fat of the liver with the little kidneys,
10. just as it is taken from the calf of the sacrifice of peace offerings. And he shall burn them upon the altar of holocaust.
