New Testament

Leviticus 4:9-17 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

9. He must remove both kidneys and the fat on them. They are near the lower back muscle. He must remove the best part of the liver with the kidneys.

10. He must do this in the same way the fat is removed from the bull of the fellowship offering. Then the priest must burn the animal parts on the altar of burnt offering.

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.
