New Testament

Leviticus 4:21-28 God's Word Translation (GW)

21. Then he will take the bull outside the camp and will burn it the same way he burned the first bull. It is an offering for sin for the community.

22. “When a leader unintentionally does something wrong—even one thing that is forbidden by any of the commands of the Lord his God—he will be guilty.

23. When he is told about what he has done wrong, he must bring a male goat that has no defects as his offering.

24. He will place his hand on the goat’s head and slaughter it in the Lord’s presence where he slaughters animals for burnt offerings. It is an offering for sin.

25. Then the priest will take some of the blood of the offering for sin with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar for burnt offerings. He will pour the rest of the blood at the bottom of the altar for burnt offerings.

26. He will burn all the fat on the altar the same way the fat of the fellowship offering is burned. So the priest will make peace with the Lord for what the leader did wrong, and the leader will be forgiven.

27. “If a common person unintentionally does something wrong—even one thing forbidden by the Lord’s commands—he will be guilty.

28. When he is told about what he has done wrong, he must bring a female goat that has no defects as his offering for what he has done wrong.
