1The Lord told Moses, 2“Tell the Israelites that these are the rules to handle cases#4:2. “The rules to handle cases”: supplied for clarity. of those who sin unintentionally against any of the Lord's commandments and do what is not permitted.
3If it is the high priest who sins and brings guilt on everyone, he must present to the Lord a young bull without defects as a sin offering for his sin. 4He must take the bull to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting before the Lord, put his hand on its head and kill it before the Lord. 5Then the high priest shall take some of the bull's blood into the Tent of Meeting. 6The high priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle some of it seven times before the Lord in front of the veil of the sanctuary. 7The priest shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of aromatic incense that stands before the Lord in the Tent of Meeting. The rest of the bull's blood he is to pour out at the bottom of the altar of burnt offering at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. 8Then he shall remove all the fat from the bull of the sin offering: all the fat that covers the insides, 9both kidneys with the fat on them by the loins, and the best part of the liver, which he is to remove together with the kidneys 10in the same way as the fat is removed from the bull of the peace offering. Then the priest shall burn this on the altar of burnt offering.
11But the skin of the bull, all its flesh, head, legs, insides and waste— 12all the rest of it—he has to take outside the camp to a place that is ceremonially clean, where the ashes are dumped, and he must burn it on a wood fire there on the ash heap.
13If the whole Israelite community goes astray unintentionally, and even though they are unaware of doing what is not permitted by any of the Lord's commandments, they are all still guilty. 14When they realize their sin, then they must bring a young bull as a sin offering and present it before the Tent of Meeting. 15The elders of Israel are to put their hands on its head and kill it before the Lord. 16Then the high priest shall take some of the bull's blood into the Tent of Meeting. 17He shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the Lord in front of the veil. 18He shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar that stands before the Lord in the Tent of Meeting. Then he is to pour out the rest of the bull's blood at the bottom of the altar of burnt offering at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. 19Then he shall remove all the fat from the bull and burn it on the altar. 20He shall offer this bull in the same way he did for the sin offering. This is how the priest will make them right, and they will be forgiven. 21Then he shall take the bull outside the camp and burn it, just as he burned the bull previously mentioned. It is the sin offering for the whole community.
22If a leader sins unintentionally and does what is not permitted by any of the commandments of the Lord his God, he is guilty. 23When he realizes his sin, he must bring a male goat without defects as his offering. 24He must put his hand on the head of the goat and kill it at the place where the burnt offering is killed before the Lord. It is a sin offering. 25Then the priest is to take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour out the rest of the blood at the bottom of the altar. 26He shall burn all its fat on the altar like the fat of the peace offerings. In this way the priest will make the man's sin right, and he will be forgiven.
27If any other Israelite sins unintentionally and does what is not permitted by any of the commandments of the Lord his God, he is guilty. 28When he realizes his sin, he must bring a female goat without defects as his offering for that sin. 29He must put his hand on the head of the sin offering and kill it at the place of the burnt offering. 30Then the priest is to take some of its blood with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour out the rest of the blood at the bottom of the altar. 31He shall remove all its fat like the fat of the peace offerings and burn it on the altar and it will be accepted by the Lord. In this way the priest will make the man's sin right, and he will be forgiven.
32If he brings a lamb as a sin offering, he is to bring a female without defects. 33He must put his hand on the head of the sin offering and kill it as a sin offering at the place where the burnt offering is killed. 34Then the priest is to take some of its blood with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour out the rest of the blood at the bottom of the altar. 35He shall remove all its fat like the fat of the lamb is removed from the peace offerings and burn it on the altar to be accepted by the Lord. In this way the priest will make the man's sin right, and he will be forgiven.”

Offerings for Unintentional Sins
1The Lord commanded Moses 2to tell the people of Israel that anyone who sinned and broke any of the Lord's commands without intending to, would have to observe the following rules.
3If it is the High Priest who sins and so brings guilt on the people, he shall present a young bull without any defects and sacrifice it to the Lord for his sin. 4He shall bring the bull to the entrance of the Tent, put his hand on its head, and kill it there in the Lord's presence. 5Then the High Priest shall take some of the bull's blood and carry it into the Tent. 6He shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it in front of the sacred curtain seven times. 7Then he shall put some of the blood on the projections at the corners of the incense altar in the Tent. He shall pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar used for burning sacrifices, which is at the entrance of the Tent. 8From this bull he shall take all the fat, the fat on the internal organs, 9the kidneys and the fat on them, and the best part of the liver. 10The priest shall take this fat and burn it on the altar used for the burnt offerings, just as he does with the fat from the animal killed for the fellowship offering. 11But he shall take its skin, all its flesh, its head, its legs, and its internal organs, including the intestines, 12carry it all outside the camp to the ritually clean place where the ashes are poured out, and there he shall burn it on a wood fire.
13If it is the whole community of Israel that sins and becomes guilty of breaking one of the Lord's commands without intending to, 14then as soon as the sin becomes known, the community shall bring a young bull as a sin offering. They shall bring it to the Tent of the Lord's presence; 15the leaders of the community shall put their hands on its head, and it shall be killed there. 16The High Priest shall take some of the bull's blood into the Tent, 17dip his finger in it, and sprinkle it in front of the curtain seven times. 18He shall put some of the blood on the projections at the corners of the incense altar inside the Tent and pour out the rest of it at the base of the altar used for burning sacrifices, which is at the entrance of the Tent. 19Then he shall take all its fat and burn it on the altar. 20He shall do the same thing with this bull as he does with the bull for the sin offering, and in this way he shall make the sacrifice for the people's sin, and they will be forgiven. 21Then he shall take the bull outside the camp and burn it, just as he burns the bull offered for his own sin. This is an offering to take away the sin of the community.
22If it is a ruler who sins and becomes guilty of breaking one of the Lord's commands without intending to, 23then as soon as the sin is called to his attention, he shall bring as his offering a male goat without any defects. 24He shall put his hand on its head and kill it on the north side of the altar, where the animals for the burnt offerings are killed. This is an offering to take away sin. 25The priest shall dip his finger in the blood of the animal, put it on the projections at the corners of the altar, and pour out the rest of it at the base of the altar. 26Then he shall burn all of its fat on the altar, just as he burns the fat of the animals killed for the fellowship offerings. In this way the priest shall offer the sacrifice for the sin of the ruler, and he will be forgiven.

Nu 15.27,28 If any of you people sin and become guilty of breaking one of the Lord's commands without intending to, 28then as soon as the sin is called to your attention, you shall bring as your offering a female goat without any defects. 29You shall put your hand on its head and kill it on the north side of the altar, where the animals for the burnt offerings are killed. 30The priest shall dip his finger in the blood of the animal, put it on the projections at the corners of the altar, and pour out the rest of it at the base of the altar. 31Then he shall remove all its fat, just as the fat is removed from the animals killed for the fellowship offerings, and he shall burn it on the altar as an odor pleasing to the Lord. In this way the priest shall offer the sacrifice for the man's sin, and he will be forgiven.
32If you bring a sheep as a sin offering, it must be a female without any defects. 33You shall put your hand on its head and kill it on the north side of the altar, where the animals for the burnt offerings are killed. 34The priest shall dip his finger in the blood of the animal, put it on the projections at the corners of the altar, and pour out the rest of it at the base of the altar. 35Then he shall remove all its fat, just as the fat is removed from the sheep killed for the fellowship offerings, and he shall burn it on the altar along with the food offerings given to the Lord. In this way the priest shall offer the sacrifice for your sin, and you will be forgiven.
