IV. Again the Lord spoke to Moses saying, Speak to the chil2 dren of Israel and say, When any person sinneth unwittingly before the Lord, and doth any of those things, which by any 3 of the commandments of the Lord he ought not to do-if for instance the chief priest who hath been anointed, sin; on the account of his causing the people to sin, he shall, for the sin which he hath committed, bring a young bull without blemish 4 from the herd before the Lord for his sin offering; and having brought the young bull to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony before the Lord he shall lay his hand on the head of the young bull before the Lord and slay the bull in the pre5 sence of the Lord; And the priest who is anointed, he whose hands have been consecrated, having taken some of the blood of the bull shall carry it into the tabernacle of the testimony. 6 And this priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle

some of the blood seven times before the Lord, before the holy 7 veil; and he shall put some of the blood of the bull on the horns of the altar of compound incense, which is before the Lord in the tabernacle of the testimony. Now all the blood of the bull he is to pour out at the base of the altar of whole burnt offerings which is at the doors of the tabernacle of the testimony. 8 And with regard to all the suet of the bull for the sin offering, he shall strip off the caul, which covereth the entrails and all 9 the fat on the entrails and the two kidneys with the suet on

them-that which is on the loins and the lobe which is on the 10 liver he shall strip off with the two kidneys in the same manner as it is to be taken from the young bull of the sacrifice of thanksgiving; and the priest shall offer up these upon the altar 11 of homage offerings: but the skin of the bull and all his flesh with the head and the limbs and the belly and the dung even 12 the whole bull they shall carry forth without the camp to a clean place where the ashes are emptied out, and burn him on wood with fire. On the out pourings of the ashes he shall be burned. And if the whole congregation of Israel be unwittingly ignorant and a commandment hath escaped the notice of the whole congregation, and they shall do an act, which by any of the commandments of the Lord ought not to be done and shall 14 transgress: when the sin which they have thereby committed is made known to them, the congregation shall bring a young

13

bull from the herd without blemish for their sin offering; and when they have brought him to the doors of the tabernacle of 15 the testimony, the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the bull before the Lord and slay the 16 bull before the Lord; and the priest, the anointed one shall carry some of the blood of the bull into the tabernacle of the 17 testimony; and the priest shall dip his finger into some of the

blood of the bull and sprinkle it seven times before the Lord 18 in front of the holy veil, and shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of compound incense which is before the Lord in the tabernacle of the testimony. Now all the blood he is to pour out at the base of the altar of homage offerings 19 which is at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony. Then he shall take off all the suet of the victim and carry it up upon the altar and shall do with this bull in the same manner as was 20 done with the bull for the sin offering. This being done the

priest shall make atonement for them, and the sin shall be for21 given them. But they must carry forth the whole bull out of the camp and burn him as they did the former bull. It is a sin offering of the congregation.

22

And if the chief sin or do inadvertently any of those things which by the commands of the Lord his God ought not to be 23 done and commit sin or trespass; when the sin which he hath

thereby committed is made known to him he shall bring as 24 his gift a goat from the goats a male without blemish, and he shall lay his hand on the head of the goat, and they shall kill it in the place where they kill the whole burnt offerings before 25 the Lord. It is a sin offering. And the priest with his finger shall put some of the blood of this sin offering on the horns of the altar of whole burnt offerings. Now all the blood thereof he is to pour out at the base of the altar of whole burnt offer26 ings and he shall offer all the suet thereof on the altar as he did

27

the suet of the sacrifice of thanksgiving. So the priest shall make atonement for him because of the sins which he hath committed and it shall be forgiven him.

And if any of the people of the land sin inadvertently by doing any of those things which by the commands of the Lord 28 ought not to be done and shall transgress; when the sin which he hath thereby committed is made known to him, he shall

bring a goat from the goats-he shall bring a she goat without 29 blemish for the sin which he hath committed and shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering; and they shall kill this she goat for his sin offering in the place where they kill the 30 whole burnt offerings. And the priest shall take some of the blood thereof with his finger and put it on the horns of the al31 tar of whole burnt offerings. Now all the blood thereof he is to pour out at the base of the altar. And he shall strip off all the suet in the same manner as suet is stripped from a sacrifice of thanksgiving; and the priest shall offer it on the altar for a smell of fragrance for the Lord. So shall the priest make 32 atonement for him and he shall be forgiven. And if he bring a

sheep as his gift for his sin offering, he shall bring a ewe with33 out blemish, and lay his hand on the head of the sin offering; and they shall kill it in the place where they kill the whole burnt 34 offerings; and the priest having taken up with his finger some

of the blood of the sin offering shall put it on the horns of the altar of whole burnt offerings. Now all the blood thereof he 35 is to pour out at the base of the altar of whole burnt offerings: and he shall strip off all its suet in the same manner as the suet is stripped from the sheep for a sacrifice of thanksgiving; and the priest shall lay it on the altar on the whole burnt offer ing of the Lord. So shall the priest make atonement for him and he shall be forgiven.

V.

And when any person shall sin inadvertently-now should one be adjured and being a witness hath either seen or known, 2 if he do not tell, he will contract that sin; or if any person touch any unclean thing, either a corpse, or the unclean prey of wild beasts, or the carcases of unclean abominations, or the 3 carcases of unclean beasts, or shall touch any impurity of man-any of his impurities by the touching of which one would be defiled, and it escaped his notice and he hath after4 wards come to the knowledge of it; or if a person be a transgressor, either pronouncing with his lips to do evil; or to do good according to all that the man might pronounce with an oath and it hath escaped his notice; when he hath come to the knowledge of his having inadvertently sinned in any of these 5 cases, he shall confess his sin in respect to whatever he hath 6 sinned; and for trespassing against the Lord, for the sin which

he hath sinned, he shall bring a female from the flock either a lamb or a kid of the goats for a sin offering; and the priest shall make atonement for him for the sin which he hath sinned; 7 and the sin shall be forgiven him. And if he is not able to furnish a lamb, he shall bring for the trespass which he hath committed two turtle doves or two young pigeons to the Lord, one for a sin offering and the other for a whole burnt offering: 8 and he shall carry them to the priest and the priest shall offer

that for the sin offering, first. And the priest shall wring off its 9 head from the neck, but shall not divide it; and he shall sprin

kle some of the blood of that which is for a sin offering on the side of the altar and squeeze out the rest of the blood on the 10 base of the altar. It is a sin offering. Then he shall offer the

other as an offering of homage in the usual manner. So shall the priest make atonement for him for the sin which he hath 11 committed and it shall be forgiven him. But if his hand cannct find a pair of doves or two young pigeons, then he shal. bring as his gift for the sin which he hath committed the tenth of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering. Upon this he shal not pour oil, nor shall he lay incense on it, because it is a sin 12 offering. And he shall bring it to the priest; and the priest

having taken his handful from it shall lay this memorial of it 13 on the altar of whole burnt offerings for the Lord. It is a sin

14

offering. So shall the priest make atonement for him, for the sin which he hath committed and it shall be forgiven him. And what is left shall be for the priest, as the sacrifice of fine flour.

Moreover the Lord spoke to Moses saying, If a person through inadvertence hath forgotten or been unwittingly defi15 cient in any of the holy things of the Lord; when he shall bring

for his trespass against the Lord a ram without blemish from the flock, thou must estimate in silver shekels, by the shekel of the sanctuary, the value of that in respect to which he hath 16 trespassed, and he shall pay the amount of the deficiency of which he hath been guilty, and shall add thereto a fifth and give it to the priest; and the priest shall make atonement for him with the trespass ram and he shall be forgiven. So with respect to every person, who may have sinned; when he shall do any of those things, which by any of the commands of the Lord ought

not to be done, and did not know--if he hath trespassed and 18 contracted guilt; when he shall bring a ram without blemish from the flock, thou must fine him in money before the priest to the amount of the trespass; and the priest shall make atonement for him, for the ignorance of which he was guilty, though 19. he did not know; and he shall be forgiven; for he hath been guilty of a trespass in the sight of the Lord.

VI. Moreover the Lord spoke to Moses saying, With regard 2 to the person who shall sin, and who, utterly disregarding the commands of the Lord, shall lie to his neighbour touching a deposit, or touching any thing which he might use in common, or touching any thing made a prey of, whether he hath de3 frauded his neighbour in any respect, or hath found what was lost, and shall lie concerning it; or hath sworn falsely in respect to any of the things which he may have done, so as thereby to 4 commit sin; when he who hath thus sinned and transgressed hath restored the thing wrongfully taken, or that which he hath got unjustly, or the deposit which was committed to his trust, 5 or the thing lost which he hath found; then for every thing about which he hath sworn falsely he shall pay as a fine to the same amount, and add thereto a fifth. To him whose it is he shall make restoration on the day he is convicted. And when 6 for his trespass he shall bring for the Lord a ram from the flock without blemish, thou must fine him to the amount of his tres7 pass. Then the priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord; and he shall be forgiven for every of those things which he hath done, and by which he hath trespassed. 8 Again the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Give a charge to Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the whole 9 burnt offering. The whole burnt offering must be burning on the altar the whole night until the morning, and the fire of the altar must be kept burning thereon. It must not be extin10 guished. Then the priest shall put on a linen vesture, and around his body he shall put on linen drawers; and he shall take away the ashes, into which the fire hath consumed the whole burnt 11 offering, from the altar, and lay them near the altar. Then he

shall put off his robe, and put on another robe, and he shall car12 ry forth the ashes without the camp to a clean place. And the fire on the altar shall be kept burning from itself, and shall not
