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;

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.

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.

If all the company of Israel shall err, and the thing has been hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they do that which is not to be done to any of all the commands of Jehovah, and are guilty;
