Leviticus 4:1-16 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

1. Adonai spoke to Moses, saying:

2. “Speak to Bnei-Yisrael, saying: If anyone sins unintentionally in any of Adonai’s mitzvot that are not to be done, and commits any one of them

3. —or if the anointed kohen sins so as to bring guilt on the people—then let him offer for his sin which he has committed, a young bull without blemish to Adonai for a sin offering.

4. He is to bring the bull to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting before Adonai, lay his hand on the head of the bull, and slaughter it before Adonai.

5. The anointed kohen shall take some of the blood of the bull, and bring it to the Tent of Meeting.

6. The kohen is to dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before Adonai, before the curtain of the Sanctuary.

7. The kohen shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of sweet incense before Adonai, which is in the Tent of Meeting, and he is to pour out all of rest of the blood of the bull at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.

8. He is to take all the fat of the bull of the sin offering off of it, the fat that covers the innards, all the fat that is on the entrails,

9. the two kidneys and the fat that is over them which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, which he is to remove with the kidneys,

10. just as it is removed from the bull of the sacrifice of fellowship offerings. The kohen shall burn them up as smoke on the altar of burnt offering.

11. The bull’s hide, all its flesh, with its head, along with its legs, its innards and its dung—

12. the entire bull—he is to carry outside the camp to a clean place, where the fat ashes are poured out, and burn it over wood in the fire. It is to be burned on top of the place of pouring fat ashes.

13. “Now if the whole congregation of Israel sins, but the deed is hidden from the eyes of the community, yet they have done one of Adonai’s mitzvot that are not to be done, then they are guilty.

14. When the sin that they committed becomes known, then the community is to offer a young bull for a sin offering, and bring it before the Tent of Meeting.

15. The elders of the congregation are to lay their hands on the head of the bull before Adonai, and the bull is to be slaughtered before Adonai.

16. The anointed kohen shall bring some of the blood from the bull to the Tent of Meeting.
