Leviticus 4

And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 2 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, If any one shall sin through ignorance, in any of the things which Yahweh has commanded not to be done, and shall do any one of them: 3 if the anointed priest shall sin so as to bring guilt on the people, then let him offer for his sin, which he has sinned, a young bullock without blemish to Yahweh for a sin-offering. 4 And he shall bring the bullock to the door of the tent of meeting before Yahweh; and he shall lay his hand on the head of the bullock, and kill the bullock before Yahweh. 5 And the anointed priest shall take of the blood of the bullock, and bring it to the tent of meeting: 6 and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the blood seven times before Yahweh, before the veil of the sanctuary. 7 And the priest shall put of the blood upon the horns of the altar of sweet incense before Yahweh, which is in the tent of meeting; and all the blood of the bullock shall he pour out at the base of the altar of burnt-offering, which is at the door of the tent of meeting. 8 And all the fat of the bullock of the sin-offering he shall take off from it; and the fat that covers the inner parts, and all the fat that is on the inner parts, 9 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the covering on the liver, with the kidneys shall he take away, 10 as it is taken off from the ox of the sacrifice of peace-offerings: and the priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt-offering. 11 And the skin of the bullock, and all its flesh, with its head, and with its legs, and its inner parts, and its dung, 12 even the whole bullock shall he carry forth outside the camp to a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn it on wood with fire: where the ashes are poured out shall it be burnt.

 

13 And if the whole congregation of Israel errs, and the thing is hid from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done any of the things which Yahweh has commanded not to be done, and are guilty; 14 when the sin in which they have sinned is known, then the assembly shall offer a young bullock for a sin-offering, and bring it before the tent of meeting. 15 And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands upon the head of the bullock before Yahweh; and the bullock shall be killed before Yahweh. 16 And the anointed priest shall bring of the blood of the bullock to the tent of meeting: 17 and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before Yahweh, before the veil. 18 And he shall put of the blood on the horns of the altar which is before Yahweh, that is in the tent of meeting, and all the blood shall he pour out at the base of the altar of burnt-offering, which is at the door of the tent of meeting. 19 And all the fat of it shall he take off from it, and burn it on the altar. 20 In this manner shall he do with the bullock; as he did with the bullock of the sin-offering, so shall he do with this; and the priest shall make atonement for them, and they shall be forgiven. 21 And he shall carry forth the bullock outside the camp, and burn it as he burned the first bullock: it is the sin-offering for the assembly.

 

22 When a ruler sins, and does through ignorance any one of all the things which Yahweh his Elohim has commanded not to be done, and is guilty; 23 if his sin, in which he has sinned, is made known to him, he shall bring for his oblation a goat, a male without blemish; 24 and he shall lay his hand on the head of the goat, and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt-offering before Yahweh: it is a sin-offering. 25 And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin-offering with his finger, and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt-offering; and the blood of it shall he pour out at the base of the altar of burnt-offering. 26 And all the fat of it shall he burn on the altar, as the fat of the sacrifice of peace-offerings; and the priest shall make atonement for him as concerning his sin, and he shall be forgiven.

 

27 And if any one of the common people sins through ignorance, in doing any of the things which Yahweh has commanded not to be done, and is guilty; 28 if his sin, which he has sinned, is made known to him, then he shall bring for his oblation a goat, a female without blemish, for his sin which he has sinned. 29 And he shall lay his hand on the head of the sin-offering, and kill the sin-offering in the place of burnt-offering. 30 And the priest shall take of the blood of it with his finger, and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt-offering; and all the blood of it shall he pour out at the base of the altar. 31 And all the fat of it shall he take away, as the fat is taken away from off the sacrifice of peace-offerings; and the priest shall burn it on the altar for a sweet savor to Yahweh; and the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be forgiven.

 

32 And if he brings a lamb as his oblation for a sin-offering, he shall bring a female without blemish. 33 And he shall lay his hand on the head of the sin-offering, and kill it for a sin-offering, in the place where they kill the burnt-offering. 34 And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin-offering with his finger, and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt-offering; and all the blood of it shall he pour out at the base of the altar: 35 and all the fat of it shall he take away, as the fat of the lamb is taken away from the sacrifice of peace-offerings; and the priest shall burn them on the altar, on the offerings of Yahweh made by fire; and the priest shall make atonement for him as touching his sin that he has sinned, and he shall be forgiven.

 

 

Leviticus 5

And if anyone sins, in that he hears the voice of adjuration, he being a witness, if he has seen or known, if he does not utter it, then he shall bear his iniquity. 2 Or if anyone touches any unclean thing, whether it is the carcass of an unclean beast, or the carcass of unclean cattle, or the carcass of unclean creeping things, and it is hidden from him, and he is unclean, then he shall be guilty. 3 Or if he touches the uncleanness of man, whatever his uncleanness is with which he is unclean, and it is hid from him; when he knows of it, then he shall be guilty. 4 Or if anyone swears rashly with his lips to do evil, or to do good, whatever it is that a man shall utter rashly with an oath, and it is hid from him; when he knows of it, then he shall be guilty in one of these things. 5 And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these things, that he shall confess that in which he has sinned: 6 and he shall bring his trespass-offering to Yahweh for his sin which he has sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a goat, for a sin-offering; and the priest shall make atonement for him as concerning his sin.

 

7 And if he cannot afford a lamb, then he shall bring his trespass-offering for that in which he has sinned, two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, to Yahweh; one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering. 8 And he shall bring them to the priest, who shall offer that which is for the sin-offering first, and wring off its head from its neck, but shall not divide it completely: 9 And he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin-offering on the side of the altar: and the rest of the blood shall be drained out at the base of the altar: it is a sin-offering. 10 And he shall offer the second for a burnt-offering, according to the ordinance; and the priest shall make atonement for him as concerning his sin which he has sinned, and he shall be forgiven.

 

11 But if he cannot afford two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, then he shall bring his oblation for that in which he has sinned, the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin-offering: he shall put no oil on it, neither shall he put any frankincense thereon; for it is a sin-offering. 12 And he shall bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it as the memorial of it, and burn it on the altar, on the offerings of Yahweh made by fire: it is a sin-offering. 13 And the priest shall make atonement for him as touching his sin that he has sinned in any of these things, and he shall be forgiven: and the remnant shall be the priest’s, as the meal-offering.

 

14 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 15 If any one commits a trespass, and sins through ignorance, in the holy things of Yahweh; then he shall bring his trespass-offering to Yahweh, a ram without blemish out of the flock, according to your estimation in silver by shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass-offering: 16 and he shall make restitution for that which he has done wrong in the holy thing, and shall add the fifth part to it, and give it to the priest; and the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass-offering, and he shall be forgiven.

 

17 And if anyone sins, and does any of the things which Yahweh has commanded not to be done; though he knew it not, yet is he guilty, and shall bear his iniquity. 18 And he shall bring a ram without blemish out of the flock, according to your estimation, for a trespass-offering, to the priest; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning the thing in which he erred through ignorance and knew it not, and he shall be forgiven. 19 It is a trespass-offering: he is certainly guilty before Yahweh.

 

 

Leviticus 6

And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 2 If anyone sins, and commits a trespass against Yahweh, and deals falsely with his neighbor in a matter of deposit, or of bargain, or of robbery, or has oppressed his neighbor, 3 or has found that which was lost, and deals falsely in it, and swears to a lie; in any of all these things that a man does, sinning in it; 4 then it shall be, if he has sinned, and is guilty, that he shall restore that which he took by robbery, or the thing which he has gotten by oppression, or the deposit which was committed to him, or the lost thing which he found, 5 or any thing about which he has sworn falsely; he shall even restore it in full, and shall add the fifth part more thereto: to him to whom it pertains he shall give it, in the day of his being found guilty. 6 And he shall bring his trespass-offering to Yahweh, a ram without blemish out of the flock, according to your estimation, for a trespass-offering, to the priest: 7 and the priest shall make atonement for him before Yahweh; and he shall be forgiven concerning whatever he does so as to be guilty in it.

 

8 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 9 Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the burnt-offering: the burnt-offering shall be on the hearth on the altar all night to the morning; and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning on it. 10 And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and his linen trousers shall he put on his flesh; and he shall take up the ashes to which the fire has consumed the burnt-offering on the altar, and he shall put them beside the altar. 11 And he shall put off his garments, and put on other garments, and carry forth the ashes outside the camp to a clean place. 12 And the fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it, it shall not go out; and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning: and he shall lay the burnt-offering in order on it, and shall burn on it the fat of the peace-offerings. 13 Fire shall be kept burning on the altar continually; it shall not go out.

 

14 And this is the law of the meal-offering: the sons of Aaron shall offer it before Yahweh, before the altar. 15 And he shall take up from it his handful, of the fine flour of the meal-offering, and of the oil of it, and all the frankincense which is on the meal-offering, and shall burn it on the altar for a sweet savor, as the memorial of it, to Yahweh. 16 And that which is left of it shall Aaron and his sons eat: it shall be eaten without leaven in a holy place; in the court of the tent of meeting they shall eat it. 17 It shall not be baked with leaven. I have given it as their portion of my offerings made by fire; it is most holy, as the sin-offering, and as the trespass-offering. 18 Every male among the children of Aaron shall eat of it, as his portion forever throughout your generations, from the offerings of Yahweh made by fire: whoever touches them shall be holy.

 

19 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 20 This is the oblation of Aaron and of his sons, which they shall offer to Yahweh in the day when he is anointed: the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meal-offering perpetually, half of it in the morning, and half of it in the evening. 21 On a baking-pan it shall be made with oil; when it is soaked, you shall bring it in: in baked pieces you shall offer the meal-offering for a sweet savor to Yahweh. 22 And the anointed priest that shall be in his place from among his sons shall offer it: by a statute forever it shall be wholly burnt to Yahweh. 23 And every meal-offering of the priest shall be wholly burnt: it shall not be eaten.

 

24 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 25 Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, This is the law of the sin-offering: in the place where the burnt-offering is killed shall the sin-offering be killed before Yahweh: it is most holy. 26 The priest that offers it for sin shall eat it: in a holy place shall it be eaten, in the court of the tent of meeting. 27 All that touches the flesh of it shall be holy; and when there is sprinkled of the blood of it on any garment, you shall wash that on which it was sprinkled in a holy place. 28 But the earthen vessel in which it is boiled shall be broken; and if it is boiled in a copper vessel, it shall be scoured, and rinsed in water. 29 Every male among the priests shall eat of it: it is most holy. 30 And no sin-offering, of which any of the blood is brought into the tent of meeting to make atonement in the holy place, shall be eaten: it shall be burnt with fire.
