And Yahweh spake, unto Moses, saying:

Speak thou unto the sons of Israel, saying - When any person, shall sin by mistake, departing from any of the commandments of Yahweh, as to things which should not be done, and shall do any one of them, -

If, the anointed priest, shall sin, so as to bring guilt upon the people, then shall he bring near for his sin which he hath committed a choice young bullock without defect, unto Yahweh as a sin-bearer.

And he shall bring in the bullock unto the entrance of the tent of meeting, before Yahweh, - and shall lean his hand upon the head of the bullock, and shall slay the bullock before Yahweh.

And the anointed priest shall take of the blood of the bullock, - and bring it into the tent of meeting;

and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, - and sprinkle of the blood seven times, before Yahweh, in front of the veil of the sanctuary.

Then shall the priest put of the blood upon the horns of the altar of fragrant incense before Yahweh, which is in the tent of meeting, - and, all the remainder of the blood of the bullock, shall he pour out at the base of the altar of ascending-sacrifice, which is at the entrance of the tent of meeting,

And all the fat of the sin-bearing bullock, shall he heave up therefrom, - the fat that covereth over the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards;

and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them which is upon the loins, - and as for the caul upon the liver, upon the kidneys, shall he remove it:

just as it is heaved up from the ox of the peace-offering, - and the priest shall make of them a perfume on the altar of ascending-sacrifice,

But, as for the skin of the bullock and all its flesh with its head and with its legs, - and its inwards, and its dung,

he shall take forth the entire bullock - unto the outside of the camp, unto a clean place unto the outpoured heap of fat-ashes, and shall burn it up on wood in the fire, - upon the outpoured heap of fat-ashes, shall it be burned up.

And, if the whole assembly of Israel, shall make a mistake, and a matter be hidden from the eyes of the convocation, - and so they do something, whereby they depart from any of the commandments of Yahweh as to things which should not be done, and become guilty;

and the sin shall become known, which they have committed therein, then shall the convocation bring near a choice young bullock as a sin-bearer, yea they shall bring it in. before the tent of meeting;

and the elders of the assembly shall lean their hands upon the head of the bullock before Yahweh, - and shall slay the bullock, before Yahweh;

and the anointed priest shall bring in of the blood of the bullock, - into the tent of meeting;

and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, - and shall sprinkle of the blood seven times before Yahweh, upon the face of the veil;

and, some of the blood, shall he put upon the horns of the altar which is before Yahweh, which is in the tent of meeting; and, all the remainder of the blood, shall he pour out at the base of the altar of ascending-sacrifice, which is at the entrance of the tent of meeting;

and, as for all the fat thereof, he shall heave up therefrom, - and make a perfume at the altar.

And he shall do to the bullock, as he did to the first sin-bearing bullock, so shall he do with this, - and the priest shall put a propitiatory-covering over them, and it shall be forgiven them.

And he shall take forth the bullock unto the outside of the camp, and burn it up, just as he burned up the first bullock, - the sin-bearer of the convocation, it is.

When a prince, shall sin, - and shall do something, departing from any of the commandments of Yahweh his God as to things which should not be done, by mistake and shall become aware of his guilt;

or his sin wherein he hath sinned he made known unto him, then shall he bring in. as his oblation a he-goat a male without defect;

and shall lean his hand upon the head of the goat, and shall slay it in the place where they slay the ascending-sacrifice before Yahweh, - a sin-bearer, it is.

And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin-bearer with his finger, and put upon the horns of the altar of ascending-sacrifice; and, the remainder of the blood thereof, shall he pour out at the base of the altar of ascending-sacrifice;

and with all the fat thereof, shall he make a perfume at the altar, as with the fat of the peace-offering, - so shall the priest put a propitiatory-covering over him because of his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.

And, if, any person, shall sin, by mistake from among the people of the land, - by his doing anything departing from any of the commandments of Yahweh, as to things which should not be done, and shall become aware of his guilt;

or his sin which he hath committed shall be made known unto, him, then shall he bring in, as his oblation, a kid of the goats a female, without defect, for his sin which he hath committed;

and shall lean his hand upon the head of the sin-bearer, - and shall slay the sin-bearer in the place of the ascending-sacrifice.

Then shall the priest take of the blood thereof with his finger, and put upon the horns of the altar of ascending-sacrifice, - and all the remaining bleed thereof, shall he pour out, at the base of the altar;

and all the fat thereof, shall he remove as the fat from off the peace-offering was removed, and the priest shall make a perfume at the altar, for a satisfying odour unto Yahweh, - so shall the priest put propitiatory-covering over him, and it shall be forgiven him.

And, if a lamb, he bring in. as his oblation for a sin-bearer, a female without defect, shall he bring in;

and shall lean his hand upon the head of the sin-bearer, - and shall slay it as a sin-bearer, in the place where they slay the ascending-sacrifice.

Then shall the priest take of the blood of the sin-bearer with his finger, and put upon the horns of the altar of ascending-sacrifice, - and all the remaining blood thereof, shall he pour out, at the base of the altar;

and all the fat thereof, shall he remove as the fat of the lamb is removed, from the peace-offering, and the priest shall make a perfume therewith at the altar, upon the altar-flames of Yahweh, - so shall the priest put a propitiatory-covering over him on account of his sin which he hath committed, and it shall be forgiven him.

Any person, moreover, whensoever he shall sin in that, when he heareth a voice of swearing, he himself, being a witness either seeing or knowing, - if he do not tell and so hath to bear his iniquity: -

Or, any person, who toucheth anything unclean, whether the carcase of an unclean wild-beast or the carcase of an unclean tame-beast, or the carcase of an unclean creeping thing, - and it is hidden from him, he himself being unclean, and he becometh aware of his guilt: -

Or whensoever one shall touch the uncleanness of man, as regardeth any uncleanness of his, wherewith one may become unclean, - and it be hidden from him, and then he himself, getting to know it becometh aware of his guilt: -

Or, any person, whensoever he shall swear, speaking unadvisedly with the lips, to harm or to help, as regardeth anything wherein the son of earth may speak unadvisedly by way of oath, and it be hidden from him, - and then, he himself, getting to know it, becometh aware of his guilt as regardeth any one of these things.

Then shall it be, when he becometh aware of his guilt, as regardeth any one of these things, that he shall confess that wherein he hath sinned;

and shall bring in as his guilt-bearer unto Yahweh for his sin which he hath committed, a female from the flock - a lamb or a kid of the goats - as a sin-bearer, - so shall the priest put propitiatory-covering over him, because of his sin.

And, if his hand can-not reach sufficient for a lamb, then shall he bring in to bear his guilt - for that he hath sinned - two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons unto Yahweh, - one for a sin-bearer, and one for an ascending-sacrifice.

And he shall take them in unto the priest, who shall bring near that which is for a sin-bearer first, - and shall nip through the neck close to the head but shall not divide it asunder.

And he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin-bearer upon the wall of the altar, and the remainder of the blood, shall he drain out at the base of the altar, - a, sin-bearer, it is.

And of the second, shall he make an ascending-sacrifice according to the regulation, - so shall the priest put a propitiatory-covering over him, because of his sin which he hath committed and it shall be forgiven him.

But if his hand cannot lay hold of two turtledove, or two young pigeons, then shall he bring in as his oblation - because he hath sinned - the tenth of an ephah of fine meal for bearing sin, - he shall not put thereon oil, neither shall he lay thereon frankincense, for a sin-bearer, it is.

And he shall bring it in unto the priest, and the priest shall take therefrom a handful, as the memorial thereof, and shall make a perfume at the altar, upon the altar-flames of Yahweh, - a sin-bearer, it is.

So shall the priest put a propitiatory-covering over him, on account of his sin which he hath committed, departing from some one of these things, and it shall be forgiven him, - then shall it be the priest's, like the meal-offering.
