4Verse 1And the Lord spake to Moses, and said,Verse 2Speak thou to the sons of Israel, When a soul, that is, a man, hath done sin by ignorance, and hath done anything of all the commandments of the Lord, which he commanded that those [or they] shall not be done, thou shalt follow these ordinances;Verse 3if a priest that is anointed, hath done sin, making the people to trespass, he shall offer for his sin a calf without wem to the Lord.Verse 4And he shall bring it to the door of the tabernacle of witnessing, before the Lord, and he shall put his hand on the head thereof, and he shall offer it to the Lord.Verse 5And he shall take up of the blood of the calf, and shall bring it into the tabernacle of witnessing.Verse 6And when he hath dipped his finger into the blood, he shall sprinkle it seven times before the Lord, against the veil of the saintuary.Verse 7And he shall put of the same blood on the corners of the altar of incense most acceptable to the Lord, which altar is in the tabernacle of witnessing; soothly he shall pour all the tother blood into the foundament of the altar of burnt sacrifice in the entering of the tabernacle.Verse 8And he shall offer for his sin the inner fatness of the calf, as well it that covereth the entrails, as all things that be within,Verse 9two little reins, and the caul, which is on them, beside [the] ileum, and the fatness of the maw, with the little reins,Verse 10as it is offered of the calf of the sacrifice of peaceable things; and the priest shall burn those things on the altar of burnt sacrifice.Verse 11Soothly the priest shall bear out of the tents, the skin, and all the flesh, with the head, and the feet, and [the] entrails, and the dung,Verse 12and the body that is left, into a clean place, where [the] ashes be wont to be poured out; and he shall burn those things upon the heap of wood, the which shall be burnt in the place of ashes poured out.Verse 13That if all the company of the sons of Israel knoweth not, and doeth by unknowing that that is against the commandment of the Lord,Verse 14and afterward understandeth his sin, he shall offer a calf for that sin, and he shall bring the calf to the door of the tabernacle.Verse 15And the elder men of the people shall set [or put] hands on the head thereof before the Lord; and when the calf is offered in the sight of the Lord,Verse 16the priest that is anointed shall bear in of his blood into the tabernacle of witnessing;Verse 17and when he hath dipped his finger, he shall sprinkle the blood seven times against the veil.Verse 18And he shall put of the same blood in the horns of the altar, which is before the Lord in the tabernacle of witnessing; soothly he shall pour the blood that leaveth beside the foundament of the altar of burnt sacrifice, which is in the door of the tabernacle of witnessing.Verse 19And he shall take all the fatness thereof, and shall burn it on the altar;Verse 20and he shall do also of this calf, as he did before of the tother; and when the priest shall pray for them, the Lord shall be merciful.Verse 21Forsooth he shall bear out [of the tents] that calf, and he shall burn it, as he did also the former calf, for it is for the sin of the multitude.Verse 22If a prince sinneth, and doeth by ignorance one thing of many, which is forbidden in the law of the Lord,Verse 23and afterward understandeth his sin, he shall offer to the Lord a sacrifice, a goat buck, without wem;Verse 24and he shall set his hand on the head thereof. And when he hath offered it in the place, where [the] burnt sacrifice is wont to be slain, before the Lord, for it is for sin;Verse 25the priest shall dip his finger in the blood of [the] sacrifice for sin, and he shall touch with his bloody finger the corners of the altar of burnt sacrifice, and he shall pour the blood that leaveth at the foundament thereof.Verse 26Soothly the priest shall burn the inner fatness above the altar, as it is wont to be done in the sacrifice of peaceable things, and the priest shall pray for him, and for his sin, and it shall be forgiven to him.Verse 27That if a soul, that is, a singular man, of the people of the land sinneth by ignorance, that he do anything of these [things] that be forbidden in the law of the Lord, and trespasseth,Verse 28and knoweth his sin, he shall offer a she-goat without wem;Verse 29and he shall set his hand upon the head of the sacrifice which is for [the] sin, and he shall offer it in the place of [the] burnt sacrifice.Verse 30And the priest shall take of the blood thereof upon his finger, and he shall touch the horns of the altar of burnt sacrifice, and he shall pour the blood that is left at the foundament of the altar.Verse 31Soothly he shall take away all the inner fatness, as it is wont to be done away of the sacrifices of peaceable things, and he shall burn it on the altar, into odour of sweetness to the Lord; and the priest shall pray for him, and it shall be forgiven to him.Verse 32Soothly if he offereth of little beasts a sacrifice for sin, that is, a sheep without wem,Verse 33he shall put his hand on the head thereof, and he shall offer it in the place where the beasts of burnt sacrifices be wont to be slain.Verse 34And the priest shall take of the blood thereof in his finger, and he shall touch therewith the horns of the altar of burnt sacrifice, and he shall pour the blood that is left at the foundament of the altar.Verse 35And he shall do away all the inner fatness, as the inner fatness of the ram, that is offered for peaceable things, is wont to be done away, and the priest shall burn it upon the altar of incense of the Lord; and the priest shall pray for him, and for his sin, and it shall be forgiven to him.
