CHAP. IV.

1 The sinne offering of ignorance, 3 for the Priest, 13 for the Congregation, 22 for the Ruler, 27 for any of the people.

¹And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

²Speake vnto the children of Israel, saying, If a soule shall sinne through ignorance against any of the commandements of the Lord (concerning things which ought not to bee done) and shall do against any of them:

³If the Priest that is anointed, doe sinne according to the sinne of the people, then let him bring for his sinne which he hath sinned, a yong bullocke without blemish, vnto the Lord for a sinne offering.

⁴And hee shall bring the bullocke vnto the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation before the Lord, and shall lay his hand vpon the bullockes head, and kill the bullocke before the Lord.

⁵And the Priest that is anointed, shall take of the bullocks blood, and bring it to the Tabernacle of the Congregation.

⁶And the Priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the blood seuen times before the Lord, before the Uaile of the Sanctuary.

⁷And the Priest shall put some of the blood vpon the hornes of the Altar of sweet incense before the Lord, which is in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and shal powre all the blood of the bullocke at the bottome of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.⁷

⁸And he shall take off from it all the fat of the bullocke for the sinne offering: the fat that couereth the inwards, and all the fat that is vpon the inwards.

⁹And the two kidneis, and the fat that is vpon them, which is by the flankes, and the caule aboue the liuer with the kidneis, it shall he take away,

¹⁰As it was taken off from the bullocke of the sacrifice of peace offerings: and the Priest shall burne them vpon the altar of the burnt offering.

¹¹And the skinne of the bullocke, and all his flesh, with his head, and with his legs, and his inwards, and his doung,¹¹

¹²Euen the whole bullocke shall he carie foorth without the campe, vnto a cleane place, where the ashes are powred out, and burne him on the wood with fire: where the ashes are powred out, shall he be burnt.¹²

¹³¶ And if the whole Congregation of Israel sinne through ignorance, and the thing be hid from the eyes of the assembly, and they haue done somewhat against any of the Commandements of the Lord, concerning things which should not be done, and are guiltie:¹³

¹⁴When the sinne which they haue sinned against it, is knowen, then the Congregation shall offer a yong bullocke for the sinne, and bring him before the Tabernacle of the Congregation.

¹⁵And the Elders of the Congregation shall lay their hands vpon the head of the bullocke, before the Lord: and the bullocke shall be killed before the Lord.

¹⁶And the Priest that is anointed, shall bring of the bullockes blood to the Tabernacle of the Congregation.

¹⁷And the Priest shall dip his finger in some of the blood, and sprinkle it seuen times before the Lord, euen before the vaile.

¹⁸And he shal put some of the blood vpon the hornes of the altar, which is before the Lord, that is in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and shall powre out all the blood at the bottome of the altar of the burnt offring, which is at the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.

¹⁹And he shall take all his fat from him, and burne it vpon the altar.

²⁰And he shall do with the bullocke as he did with the bullocke for a sinne offring, so shall he do with this: And the Priest shall make an atonement for them, and it shall be forgiuen them.

²¹And he shall carie foorth the bullocke without the campe, and burne him as he burned the first bullocke: it is a sinne offering for the Congregation.

²²¶ When a ruler hath sinned and done somewhat through ignorance against any of the Commandements of the Lord his God, concerning things which should not be done, and is guilty:

²³Or if his sinne wherein hee hath sinned, come to his knowledge: he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goates, a male without blemish.

²⁴And hee shall lay his hand vpon the head of the goate, and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before the Lord: it is a sinne offring.

²⁵And the Priest shall take of the blood of the sinne offering with his finger, and put it vpon the hornes of the Altar of burnt offring, and shall powre out his blood at the bottome of the Altar of burnt offering.

²⁶And he shall burne all his fat vpon the Altar, as the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings: and the Priest shall make an atonement for him, as concerning his sinne, and it shall be forgiuen him.

²⁷¶ And if any one of the common people sinne through ignorance, while he doeth somewhat against any of the commandements of the Lord, concerning things which ought not to be done, and be guiltie:²⁷

²⁸Or if his sinne which he hath sinned come to his knowledge, then hee shall bring his offering, a kidde of the goats, a female without blemish, for his sinne which he hath sinned.

²⁹And he shall lay his hand vpon the head of the sinne offering, and slay the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering.

³⁰And the Priest shall take of the blood thereof with his finger, and put it vpon the hornes of the Altar of burnt offering, and shall powre out all the blood thereof at the bottome of the Altar.

³¹And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat is taken away from off the sacrifice of peace offerings: and the Priest shall burne it vpon the Altar, for a sweet sauour vnto the Lord, and the Priest shall make an atonement for him, and it shall be forgiuen him.³¹

³²And if he bring a lambe for a sinne offering, he shall bring it a female without blemish.

³³And he shall lay his hand vpon the head of the sinne offering, and slay it for a sinne offering, in the place where they kill the burnt offering.

³⁴And the Priest shall take of the blood of the sinne offering with his finger, and put it vpon the hornes of the Altar of burnt offring, and shall powre out all the blood thereof at the bottome of the Altar.

³⁵And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat of the lambe is taken away from the sacrifice of the peace offerings: and the Priest shall burnt them vpon the Altar, according to the offerings made by fire vnto the Lord, and the Priest shall make an atonement for his sinne that he hath committed, and it shalbe forgiuen him.
