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.
