Leviticus 4:11-12-19 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

11-12. But the priest must carry out the skin of the bull and all its meat. He must take these with the rest of the bull—its head, legs, intestines and other inner organs. He must take it outside the camp to the special clean place where the ashes are poured out. He must burn it on a wood fire on the pile of ashes.

13. “‘The whole nation of Israel might sin without knowing it. They might do something the Lord has commanded not to be done. If this happens, they are guilty.

14. When they learn about the sin they have done, a young bull must be offered. It is a sin offering for the whole nation. They must bring it and give it before the Meeting Tent.

15. The elders of the group of people must put their hands on the bull’s head. It must be done before the Lord. And the bull must be killed before the Lord.

16. Then the appointed priest must bring some of the bull’s blood into the Meeting Tent.

17. The priest will dip his finger in the blood. He must sprinkle it seven times before the Lord in front of the curtain.

18. Then he must put some of the blood on the corners of the altar. The altar is before the Lord in the Meeting Tent. The priest must pour out the rest of the blood. He must pour it at the bottom of the altar of burnt offering. That altar is at the entrance to the Meeting Tent.

19. The priest must remove all the fat from the animal. And he must burn it on the altar.
