1. The Lord commanded Moses
2. to tell the people of Israel that anyone who sinned and broke any of the Lord's commands without intending to, would have to observe the following rules.
3. If it is the High Priest who sins and so brings guilt on the people, he shall present a young bull without any defects and sacrifice it to the Lord for his sin.
4. He shall bring the bull to the entrance of the Tent, put his hand on its head, and kill it there in the Lord's presence.
5. Then the High Priest shall take some of the bull's blood and carry it into the Tent.
6. He shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it in front of the sacred curtain seven times.
7. Then he shall put some of the blood on the projections at the corners of the incense altar in the Tent. He shall pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar used for burning sacrifices, which is at the entrance of the Tent.
8. From this bull he shall take all the fat, the fat on the internal organs,
9. the kidneys and the fat on them, and the best part of the liver.
10. The priest shall take this fat and burn it on the altar used for the burnt offerings, just as he does with the fat from the animal killed for the fellowship offering.
11. But he shall take its skin, all its flesh, its head, its legs, and its internal organs including the intestines,
12. carry it all outside the camp to the ritually clean place where the ashes are poured out, and there he shall burn it on a wood fire.
13. If it is the whole community of Israel that sins and becomes guilty of breaking one of the Lord's commands without intending to,
14. then as soon as the sin becomes known, the community shall bring a young bull as a sin offering. They shall bring it to the Tent of the Lord's presence;
