Leviticus 4

• 1. Then the LORD said to Moses,
• 2. "Give the Israelites the following instructions for dealing with those who sin unintentionally by doing anything forbidden by the LORD's commands.
• 3. "If the high priest sins, bringing guilt upon the entire community, he must bring to the LORD a young bull with no physical defects.
• 4. He must present the bull to the LORD at the entrance of the Tabernacle, lay his hand on the bull's head, and slaughter it there in the LORD's presence.
• 5. The priest on duty will then take some of the animal's blood into the Tabernacle,
• 6. dip his finger into the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD in front of the inner curtain of the Most Holy Place.
• 7. The priest will put some of the blood on the horns of the incense altar that stands in the LORD's presence in the Tabernacle. The rest of the bull's blood must be poured out at the base of the altar of burnt offerings at the entrance of the Tabernacle.
• 8. The priest must remove all the fat around the bull's internal organs,
• 9. the two kidneys with the fat around them near the loins, and the lobe of the liver.
• 10. Then he must burn them on the altar of burnt offerings, just as is done with the bull or cow sacrificed as a peace offering.
• 11. But the rest of the bull--its hide, meat, head, legs, internal organs, and dung--
• 12. must be carried away to a ceremonially clean place outside the camp, the place where the ashes are thrown. He will burn it all on a wood fire in the ash heap.
• 13. "If the entire Israelite community does something forbidden by the LORD and the matter escapes the community's notice, all the people will be guilty.
• 14. When they discover their sin, the leaders of the community must bring a young bull for a sin offering and present it at the entrance of the Tabernacle.
• 15. The leaders must then lay their hands on the bull's head and slaughter it there before the LORD.
• 16. The priest will bring some of its blood into the Tabernacle,
• 17. dip his finger into the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD in front of the inner curtain.
• 18. He will then put some of the blood on the horns of the incense altar that stands in the LORD's presence in the Tabernacle. The rest of the blood must then be poured out at the base of the altar of burnt offerings at the entrance of the Tabernacle.
• 19. The priest must remove all the animal's fat and burn it on the altar,
• 20. following the same procedure as with the sin offering for the priest. In this way, the priest will make atonement for the people, and they will be forgiven.
• 21. The priest must then take what is left of the bull outside the camp and burn it there, just as is done with the sin offering for the high priest. This is a sin offering for the entire community of Israel.
• 22. "If one of Israel's leaders does something forbidden by the LORD his God, he will be guilty even if he sinned unintentionally.
• 23. When he becomes aware of his sin, he must bring as his offering a male goat with no physical defects.
• 24. He is to lay his hand on the goat's head and slaughter it before the LORD at the place where burnt offerings are slaughtered. This will be his sin offering.
• 25. Then the priest will dip his finger into the blood of the sin offering, put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offerings, and pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.
• 26. He must burn all the goat's fat on the altar, just as is done with the peace offering. In this way, the priest will make atonement for the leader's sin, and he will be forgiven.
• 27. "If any of the citizens of Israel do something forbidden by the LORD, they will be guilty even if they sinned unintentionally.
• 28. When they become aware of their sin, they must bring as their offering a female goat with no physical defects. It will be offered for their sin.
• 29. They are to lay a hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it at the place where burnt offerings are slaughtered.
• 30. The priest will then dip his finger into the blood, put the blood on the horns of the altar of burnt offerings, and pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.
• 31. Those who are guilty must remove all the goat's fat, just as is done with the peace offering. Then the priest will burn the fat on the altar, and it will be very pleasing to the LORD. In this way, the priest will make atonement for them, and they will be forgiven.
• 32. "If any of the people bring a sheep as their sin offering, it must be a female with no physical defects.
• 33. They are to lay a hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it at the place where the burnt offerings are slaughtered.
• 34. The priest will then dip his finger into the blood, put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offerings, and pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.
• 35. Those who are guilty must remove all the sheep's fat, just as is done with a sheep presented as a peace offering. Then the priest will burn the fat on the altar on top of the offerings given to the LORD by fire. In this way, the priest will make atonement for them, and they will be forgiven.

Leviticus 5

• 1. "If any of the people are called to testify about something they have witnessed, but they refuse to testify, they will be held responsible and be subject to punishment.
• 2. "Or if they touch something that is ceremonially unclean, such as the dead body of an animal that is ceremonially unclean--whether a wild animal, a domesticated animal, or an animal that scurries along the ground--they will be considered ceremonially unclean and guilty, even if they are unaware of their defilement.
• 3. "Or if they come into contact with any source of human defilement, even if they don't realize they have been defiled, they will be considered guilty as soon as they become aware of it.
• 4. "Or if they make a rash vow of any kind, whether its purpose is for good or bad, they will be considered guilty even if they were not fully aware of what they were doing at the time.
• 5. "When any of the people become aware of their guilt in any of these ways, they must confess their sin
• 6. and bring to the LORD as their penalty a female from the flock, either a sheep or a goat. This will be a sin offering to remove their sin, and the priest will make atonement for them.
• 7. "If any of them cannot afford to bring a sheep, they must bring to the LORD two young turtledoves or two young pigeons as the penalty for their sin. One of the birds will be a sin offering, and the other will be a burnt offering.
• 8. They must bring them to the priest, who will offer one of the birds as the sin offering. The priest will wring its neck but without severing its head from the body.
• 9. Then he will sprinkle some of the blood of the sin offering against the sides of the altar, and the rest will be drained out at the base of the altar.
• 10. The priest will offer the second bird as a whole burnt offering, following all the procedures that have been prescribed. In this way, the priest will make atonement for those who are guilty, and they will be forgiven.
• 11. "If any of the people cannot afford to bring young turtledoves or pigeons, they must bring two quarts of choice flour for their sin offering. Since it is a sin offering, they must not mix it with olive oil or put any incense on it.
• 12. They must take the flour to the priest, who will scoop out a handful as a token portion. He will burn this flour on the altar just like any other offering given to the LORD by fire. This will be their sin offering.
• 13. In this way, the priest will make atonement for those who are guilty, and they will be forgiven. The rest of the flour will belong to the priest, just as with the grain offering."
• 14. Then the LORD said to Moses,
• 15. "If any of the people sin by unintentionally defiling the LORD's sacred property, they must bring to the LORD a ram from the flock as their guilt offering. The animal must have no physical defects, and it must be of the proper value in silver as measured by the standard sanctuary shekel.
• 16. They must then make restitution for whatever holy things they have defiled by paying for the loss, plus an added penalty of 20 percent. When they give their payments to the priest, he will make atonement for them with the ram sacrificed as a guilt offering, and they will be forgiven.
• 17. "If any of them sin by doing something forbidden by the LORD, even if it is done unintentionally, they will be held responsible. When they become aware of their guilt,
• 18. they must bring to the priest a ram from the flock as a guilt offering. The animal must have no physical defects, and it must be of the proper value. In this way, the priest will make atonement for those who are guilty, and they will be forgiven.
• 19. This is a guilt offering, for they have been guilty of an offense against the LORD."

Leviticus 6

• 1. And the LORD said to Moses,
• 2. "Suppose some of the people sin against the LORD by falsely telling their neighbor that an item entrusted to their safekeeping has been lost or stolen. Or suppose they have been dishonest with regard to a security deposit, or they have taken something by theft or extortion.
• 3. Or suppose they find a lost item and lie about it, or they deny something while under oath, or they commit any other similar sin.
• 4. If they have sinned in any of these ways and are guilty, they must give back whatever they have taken by theft or extortion, whether a security deposit, or property entrusted to them, or a lost object that they claimed as their own,
• 5. or anything gained by swearing falsely. When they realize their guilt, they must restore the principal amount plus a penalty of 20 percent to the person they have harmed.
• 6. They must then bring a guilt offering to the priest, who will present it before the LORD. This offering must be a ram with no physical defects or the animal's equivalent value in silver.
• 7. The priest will then make atonement for them before the LORD, and they will be forgiven."
• 8. Then the LORD said to Moses,
• 9. "Give Aaron and his sons the following instructions regarding the whole burnt offering. The burnt offering must be left on the altar until the next morning, and the altar fire must be kept burning all night.
• 10. The next morning, after dressing in his special linen clothing and undergarments, the priest on duty must clean out the ashes of the burnt offering and put them beside the altar.
• 11. Then he must change back into his normal clothing and carry the ashes outside the camp to a place that is ceremonially clean.
• 12. Meanwhile, the fire on the altar must be kept burning; it must never go out. Each morning the priest will add fresh wood to the fire and arrange the daily whole burnt offering on it. He must then burn the fat of the peace offerings on top of this daily whole burnt offering.
• 13. Remember, the fire must be kept burning on the altar at all times. It must never go out.
• 14. "These are the instructions regarding the grain offering. Aaron's sons must present this offering to the LORD in front of the altar.
• 15. The priest on duty will take a handful of the choice flour that has been mixed with olive oil and sprinkled with incense. He will burn this token portion on the altar, and it will be very pleasing to the LORD.
• 16. After burning this handful, the rest of the flour will belong to Aaron and his sons for their food. It must, however, be baked without yeast and eaten in a sacred place within the courtyard of the Tabernacle.
• 17. Remember, this flour may never be prepared with yeast. I have given it to the priests as their share of the offerings presented to me by fire. Like the sin offering and the guilt offering, it is most holy.
• 18. Any of Aaron's male descendants, from generation to generation, may eat of the grain offering, because it is their regular share of the offerings given to the LORD by fire. Anyone or anything that touches this food will become holy."
• 19. And the LORD said to Moses,
• 20. "On the day Aaron and his sons are anointed, they must bring to the LORD a grain offering of two quarts of choice flour, half to be offered in the morning and half to be offered in the evening.
• 21. It must be cooked on a griddle with olive oil, and it must be well mixed and broken into pieces. You must present this grain offering, and it will be very pleasing to the LORD.
• 22. As the sons of the priests replace their fathers, they will be inducted into office by offering this same sacrifice on the day they are anointed. It is the LORD's regular share, and it must be completely burned up.
• 23. All such grain offerings of the priests must be entirely burned up. None of the flour may be eaten."
• 24. Then the LORD said to Moses,
• 25. "Give Aaron and his sons these further instructions regarding the sin offering. The animal given as a sin offering is most holy and must be slaughtered in the LORD's presence at the place where the burnt offerings are slaughtered.
• 26. The priest who offers the sacrifice may eat his portion in a sacred place within the courtyard of the Tabernacle.
• 27. Anything or anyone who touches the sacrificial meat will become holy, and if the sacrificial blood splatters anyone's clothing, it must be washed off in a sacred place.
• 28. If a clay pot is used to boil the sacrificial meat, it must be broken. If a bronze kettle is used, it must be scoured and rinsed thoroughly with water.
• 29. Only males from a priest's family may eat of this offering, for it is most holy.
• 30. If, however, the blood of a sin offering has been taken into the Tabernacle to make atonement in the Holy Place for the people's sins, none of that animal's meat may be eaten. It must be completely burned up.
