Leviticus chapter .iiij.
¶ And the LORD talked with Moses saying:
speak unto the children of Israel and say: when a soul sinneth thorow ignorance, and hath done any of those things which the LORD hath forbidden in his commandments to be done:
If the priest that is anointed sin and make the people to do amiss, he shall bring for his sin which he hath done: an ox without blemish unto the LORD for a sinoffering.
And he shall bring the ox unto the door of the tabernacle of witness before the LORD, and shall put his hand upon the ox's head and kill him before the LORD.
And the priest that is anointed shall take of the ox's blood, and bring it into the tabernacle of witness,
and shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle thereof seven times before the LORD: even before the hanging of the holy place.
And he shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar of sweet cense before the LORD which is in the tabernacle of witness, and shall pour all the blood of the ox upon the bottom of the altar of burntofferings which is by the door of the tabernacle of witness.
And he shall take away all the fat of the ox that is the sinoffering: the fat that covereth the inwards and all the fat that is about them,
and the two kidneys with the fat that lieth upon them and upon the loins, and the caul upon the liver let them take away also with the kidneys:
as it was taken from the ox of the peaceoffering, and let the priest burn them upon the altar of burntofferings.
But the skin of the ox and all his flesh with his head, his legs, his inwards with his dung,
shall he carry altogether out of the host unto a clean place: even where the ashes are poured out, and burn him on wood with fire: even upon the heap of ashes.
¶ If the whole commonalty of the children of Israel sin thorow ignorance, and the thing be hid from their eyes: so that they have committed any of these things which the LORD hath forbidden to be done in his commandments and have offended,
and the sin which they have sinned be afterward known, then shall they offer an ox for a sinoffering and shall bring him before the tabernacle of witness,
and the elders of the multitude shall put their hands upon his head before the LORD.
And the priest that is anointed shall bring of his blood into the tabernacle of witness,
and shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD: even before the vail.
And shall put of the blood upon the horns of the altar which is before the LORD in the tabernacle of witness, and shall pour all the blood upon the bottom of the altar of burntofferings which is by the door of the tabernacle of witness,
and shall take all his fat from him and burn it upon the altar,
and shall do with his ox as he did with the sinoffering ox. And the priest shall make an atonement for them, and so it shall be forgiven them.
And he shall bring the ox without the host, and burn him as he burned the first, so is this the sinoffering of the commonalty.
¶ When a lord sinneth and committeth thorow ignorance any of these things which the LORD his God hath forbidden to be done in his commandments and hath so offended:
when his sin is shewed unto him which he hath sinned, he shall bring for his offering an hegoat without blemish
and lay his hand upon the head of it, and kill it in the place where the burntofferings are killed before the LORD: this is a sinoffering.
Then let the priest take of the blood of the sinoffering with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the burntoffering altar, and pour his blood upon the bottom of the burntoffering altar
and burn all his fat upon the altar, as he doth the fat of the peaceofferings. And the priest shall make an atonement for him as concerning his sin, and so it shall be forgiven him.
¶ If one of the common people of the land sin thorow ignorance and commit any of the things which the LORD hath forbidden, in his commandments to be done and so hath trespassed,
when his sin which he hath sinned is come to his knowledge, he shall bring for his offering, a she goat without blemish for his sin which he hath sinned,
and lay his hand upon the head of the sinoffering, and slay it in the place of burntofferings.
And the priest shall take of the blood with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the burntoffering altar, and pour all the blood upon the bottom of the altar,
and shall take away all his fat as the fat of the peaceofferings is taken away. And the priest shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savour unto the LORD, and the priest shall make an atonement for him and it shall be forgiven him.
If he bring a sheep and offer it for a sinoffering, he shall bring a ewe without blemish,
and lay his hand upon the head of the sinoffering, and slay it in the place where the burntofferings are slain.
And the priest shall take of the blood of the sinoffering with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the burntoffering altar, and shall pour all the blood thereof unto the bottom of the altar.
And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat of the sheep of the peaceofferings was taken away. And the priest shall burn it upon the altar for the LORD's sacrifice, and the priest shall make an atonement for his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.
Praise the Everlasting Lord for His Faithful Word.
