Contextual Overview

1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 2 Speak to the sons of Israel saying, When a person sins against any of the commands of Jehovah through error, which is not to be done, and shall do any one of them; 3 if the priest who is anointed sins, resulting in guilt to the people, then he shall bring near for his sin which he has sinned a bull, a son of the herd, without blemish, to Jehovah for a sin offering. 4 And he shall bring the bull into the opening of the tabernacle of the congregation, before the face of Jehovah. And he shall lay his hand on the head of the bull and shall slaughter the bull before the face of Jehovah. 5 And the priest who is anointed shall take some of the blood of the bull and shall bring it to the tabernacle of the congregation. 6 And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle some of the blood seven times before the face of Jehovah, at the front of the veil of the holy place. 7 And the priest shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of sweet incense, at the opening of the tabernacle of the congregation, before the face of Jehovah. 8 And all the fat of the bull of the sin offering, he shall lift up the fat which is covering over the inward parts, and all the fat which is on the inward parts, 9 and the two kidneys, and the fat which is on them, which is on the flanks, and he shall remove the lobe on the liver beside the kidneys. 10 As it is raised up from the sacrifice of the peace offerings of the bull, the priest shall burn them as incense on the altar of burnt offering.
