He put the washing pot between the tent of meeting and the altar, with water in it for washing.

He made the open space all around the meeting tent and the altar. And he hung the curtain for the gate of the open space. So Moses finished the work.

For the cloud of the Lord rested on the meeting tent during the day. And fire was in the cloud during the night. It was seen by all the people of Israel as they traveled.

‘No grain gift that you bring to the Lord will be made with yeast. For you must never burn yeast or honey in any gift by fire to the Lord.

You may bring them to the Lord as a gift of first-fruits, but not for a pleasing smell upon the altar.

The religious leader will burn them on the altar, a food gift by fire for a pleasing smell. All fat is the Lord's.

It will be a Law forever for all your people in all your houses, that you do not eat any fat or any blood.'"

If the chosen religious leader sins and so brings guilt on the people, let him give to the Lord a bull that is perfect. It is a sin gift for the sin he has done.

When their sin becomes known, the people will give a bull from the herd for a sin gift. They will bring it in front of the meeting tent.

He will do the same with the bull as he did with the bull of the sin gift. So the religious leader will pay for their sins. And they will be forgiven.

Then he will bring the bull away from the tents and burn it as he burned the first bull. It is the sin gift for all the people.

If his sin is made known to him, he will bring for his gift a male goat that is perfect.

He will burn all its fat on the altar like the fat of the peace gifts. So the religious leader will pay the price for the man's sin. And he will be forgiven.

If his sin is made known to him, he will bring for his gift a female goat that is perfect, for the sin he has done.

Then he will take all its fat, just as the fat was taken from the peace gifts. And the religious leader will burn it on the altar for a pleasing smell to the Lord. So the religious leader will pay for his sin. And he will be forgiven.

‘If he brings a lamb for a sin gift, he will bring a female lamb that is perfect.

He will lay his hand on the head of the sin gift, and kill it for a sin gift in the place where they kill the burnt gifts.

Then he will take all its fat, just as the lamb's fat is taken from the peace gifts. The religious leader will burn it on the altar, on the gifts by fire to the Lord. So the religious leader will pay for him the price for the sin he has done. And he will be forgiven.

Or if he touches a human who is unclean for whatever reason, without knowing it, when he learns about it, he will be guilty.

He should bring his guilt gift to the Lord for the sin he has done, a female from the flock, a lamb or a goat, for a sin gift. And the religious leader will pay the price for him for his sin.
