Contextual Overview

13'Now if the whole congregation of Israel sins unintentionally, and the matter escapes the notice of the assembly, and they have done any one of the things which the LORD has commanded not to be done, and they become guilty; 14when the sin which they have committed becomes known, then the congregation shall offer a young bull of the herd as a sin offering and bring it before the Tent of Meeting. 15'Then the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the bull before the LORD [to transfer symbolically the congregation's guilt to the sacrifice], and they shall kill the bull before the LORD. 16'The anointed priest is to bring some of the bull's blood to the Tent of Meeting, 17and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD, in front of the veil [which screens off the Holy of Holies and the ark of the covenant]. 18'He shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar [of incense] which is before the LORD in the Tent of Meeting; and he shall pour out all the rest of the blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering which is at the doorway of the Tent of Meeting.19'He shall remove all its fat from the bull and offer it up in smoke on the altar. 20'He shall also do with the bull just as he did with the bull of the sin offering; that is what he shall do with this. So the priest shall make atonement for [the sin of] the people, and they will be forgiven. 21'Then the priest is to bring the bull outside the camp and burn it as he burned the first bull; it is the sin offering for the congregation.

Bible Verse Review

upon the: Leviticus 4:7

and shall pour out: The reason for pouring out the blood, which is so constantly and strictly required by the law, was in opposition to an idolatrous custom of the ancient Zabii, who "were accustomed to eat of the blood of their sacrifices, because they imagined this to be the food of their gods, with whom they thought they had such communion, by eating their meat, that they revealed to them future things." - Maimonides

Reciprocal: Exodus 27:2 - horns of it upon the four corners thereof Exodus 29:12 - pour all Exodus 30:1 - an altar Leviticus 4:25 - put Leviticus 5:9 - the rest Leviticus 8:15 - Moses Leviticus 9:9 - General Leviticus 16:18 - General 2 Chronicles 29:22 - sprinkled Jeremiah 17:1 - and upon Zechariah 9:15 - the corners
