Quod si hostia pacificorum fuerit ejus oblatio, et de bobus voluerit offerre, marem sive feminam, immaculata offeret coram Domino.

Ponetque manum super caput victimae suae, quae immolabitur in introitu tabernaculi testimonii, fundentque filii Aaron sacerdotes sanguinem per altaris circuitum.

Et offerent de hostia pacificorum in oblationem Domino, adipem qui operit vitalia, et quidquid pinguedinis est intrinsecus:

duos renes cum adipe quo teguntur ilia, et reticulum jecoris cum renunculis.

Adolebuntque ea super altare in holocaustum, lignis igne supposito, in oblationem suavissimi odoris Domino.

Si vero de ovibus fuerit ejus oblatio et pacificorum hostia, sive masculum obtulerit, sive feminam, immaculata erunt.

Si agnum obtulerit coram Domino,

ponet manum suam super caput victimae suae: quae immolabitur in vestibulo tabernaculi testimonii: fundentque filii Aaron sanguinem ejus per circuitum altaris.

Et offerent de pacificorum hostia sacrificium Domino: adipem et caudam totam

10 cum renibus, et pinguedinem quae operit ventrem atque universa vitalia, et utrumque renunculum cum adipe qui est juxta ilia, reticulumque jecoris cum renunculis.

11 Et adolebit ea sacerdos super altare in pabulum ignis et oblationis Domini.

12 Si capra fuerit ejus oblatio, et obtulerit eam Domino,

13 ponet manum suam super caput ejus: immolabitque eam in introitu tabernaculi testimonii, et fundent filii Aaron sanguinem ejus per altaris circuitum.

14 Tollentque ex ea in pastum ignis dominici, adipem qui operit ventrem, et qui tegit universa vitalia:

15 duos renunculos cum reticulo, quod est super eos juxta ilia, et arvinam jecoris cum renunculis:

16 adolebitque ea super altare sacerdos in alimoniam ignis, et suavissimi odoris. Omnis adeps, Domini erit

17 jure perpetuo in generationibus, et cunctis habitaculis vestris: nec sanguinem nec adipem omnino comedetis.

Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:

Loquere filiis Israel: Anima, quae peccaverit per ignorantiam, et de universis mandatis Domini, quae praecepit ut non fierent, quippiam fecerit:

si sacerdos, qui unctus est, peccaverit, delinquere faciens populum, offeret pro peccato suo vitulum immaculatum Domino:

et adducet illum ad ostium tabernaculi testimonii coram Domino, ponetque manum super caput ejus, et immolabit eum Domino.

Hauriet quoque de sanguine vituli, inferens illum in tabernaculum testimonii.

Cumque intinxerit digitum in sanguine, asperget eo septies coram Domino contra velum sanctuarii.

Ponetque de eodem sanguine super cornua altaris thymiamatis gratissimi Domino, quod est in tabernaculo testimonii: omnem autem reliquum sanguinem fundet in basim altaris holocausti in introitu tabernaculi.

Et adipem vituli auferet pro peccato, tam eum qui vitalia operit quam omnia quae intrinsecus sunt:

duos renunculos et reticulum quod est super eos juxta ilia, et adipem jecoris cum renunculis,

10 sicut aufertur de vitulo hostiae pacificorum: et adolebit ea super altare holocausti.

11 Pellem vero et omnes carnes, cum capite et pedibus et intestinis et fimo,

12 et reliquo corpore, efferet extra castra in locum mundum, ubi cineres effundi solent: incendetque ea super lignorum struem, quae in loco effusorum cinerum cremabuntur.

13 Quod si omnis turba Israel ignoraverit, et per imperitiam fecerit quod contra mandatum Domini est,

14 et postea intellexerit peccatum suum, offeret pro peccato suo vitulum, adducetque eum ad ostium tabernaculi.

15 Et ponent seniores populi manus super caput ejus coram Domino. Immolatoque vitulo in conspectu Domini,

16 inferet sacerdos, qui unctus est, de sanguine ejus in tabernaculum testimonii,

17 tincto digito aspergens septies contra velum.

18 Ponetque de eodem sanguine in cornibus altaris, quod est coram Domino in tabernaculo testimonii: reliquum autem sanguinem fundet juxta basim altaris holocaustorum, quod est in ostio tabernaculi testimonii.

19 Omnemque ejus adipem tollet, et adolebit super altare:

20 sic faciens et de hoc vitulo quomodo fecit et prius: et rogante pro eis sacerdote, propitius erit eis Dominus.

21 Ipsum autem vitulum efferet extra castra, atque comburet sicut et priorem vitulum: quia est pro peccato multitudinis.

22 Si peccaverit princeps, et fecerit unum e pluribus per ignorantiam, quod Domini lege prohibetur:

23 et postea intellexerit peccatum suum, offeret hostiam Domino, hircum de capris immaculatum.

24 Ponetque manum suam super caput ejus: cumque immolaverit eum loco ubi solet mactari holocaustum coram Domino, quia pro peccato est,

25 tinget sacerdos digitum in sanguine hostiae pro peccato, tangens cornua altaris holocausti, et reliquum fundens ad basim ejus.

26 Adipem vero adolebit supra, sicut in victimis pacificorum fieri solet: rogabitque pro eo sacerdos, et pro peccato ejus, et dimittetur ei.

27 Quod si peccaverit anima per ignorantiam, de populo terrae, ut faciat quidquam de his, quae Domini lege prohibentur, atque delinquat,

28 et cognoverit peccatum suum, offeret capram immaculatam.

29 Ponetque manum super caput hostiae quae pro peccato est, et immolabit eam in loco holocausti.

30 Tolletque sacerdos de sanguine in digito suo: et tangens cornua altaris holocausti, reliquum fundet ad basim ejus.

31 Omnem autem adipem auferens, sicut auferri solet de victimis pacificorum, adolebit super altare in odorem suavitatis Domino: rogabitque pro eo, et dimittetur ei.

32 Sin autem de pecoribus obtulerit victimam pro peccato, ovem scilicet immaculatam:

33 ponet manum super caput ejus, et immolabit eam in loco ubi solent caedi holocaustorum hostiae.

34 Sumetque sacerdos de sanguine ejus digito suo, et tangens cornua altaris holocausti, reliquum fundet ad basim ejus.

35 Omnem quoque adipem auferens, sicut auferri solet adeps arietis, qui immolatur pro pacificis, cremabit super altare in incensum Domini: rogabitque pro eo, et pro peccato ejus, et dimittetur ei.

The Fellowship Offering

“‘If your offering is a fellowship offering,(A) and you offer an animal from the herd, whether male or female, you are to present before the Lord an animal without defect.(B) You are to lay your hand on the head(C) of your offering and slaughter it(D) at the entrance to the tent of meeting.(E) Then Aaron’s sons the priests shall splash(F) the blood against the sides(G) of the altar.(H) From the fellowship offering you are to bring a food offering to the Lord: the internal organs(I) and all the fat(J) that is connected to them, both kidneys(K) with the fat on them near the loins, and the long lobe of the liver, which you will remove with the kidneys. Then Aaron’s sons(L) are to burn it on the altar(M) on top of the burnt offering(N) that is lying on the burning wood;(O) it is a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.(P)

“‘If you offer an animal from the flock as a fellowship offering(Q) to the Lord, you are to offer a male or female without defect. If you offer a lamb,(R) you are to present it before the Lord,(S) lay your hand on its head and slaughter it(T) in front of the tent of meeting. Then Aaron’s sons shall splash its blood against the sides of the altar. From the fellowship offering you are to bring a food offering(U) to the Lord: its fat, the entire fat tail cut off close to the backbone, the internal organs and all the fat that is connected to them, 10 both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the long lobe of the liver, which you will remove with the kidneys. 11 The priest shall burn them on the altar(V) as a food offering(W) presented to the Lord.(X)

12 “‘If your offering is a goat,(Y) you are to present it before the Lord, 13 lay your hand on its head and slaughter it in front of the tent of meeting. Then Aaron’s sons shall splash(Z) its blood against the sides of the altar.(AA) 14 From what you offer you are to present this food offering to the Lord: the internal organs and all the fat that is connected to them, 15 both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the long lobe of the liver, which you will remove with the kidneys.(AB) 16 The priest shall burn them on the altar(AC) as a food offering,(AD) a pleasing aroma.(AE) All the fat(AF) is the Lord’s.(AG)

17 “‘This is a lasting ordinance(AH) for the generations to come,(AI) wherever you live:(AJ) You must not eat any fat or any blood.(AK)’”

The Sin Offering

The Lord said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites: ‘When anyone sins unintentionally(AL) and does what is forbidden in any of the Lord’s commands(AM)

“‘If the anointed priest(AN) sins,(AO) bringing guilt on the people, he must bring to the Lord a young bull(AP) without defect(AQ) as a sin offering[a](AR) for the sin he has committed.(AS) He is to present the bull at the entrance to the tent of meeting before the Lord.(AT) He is to lay his hand on its head and slaughter it there before the Lord. Then the anointed priest shall take some of the bull’s blood(AU) and carry it into the tent of meeting. He is to dip his finger into the blood and sprinkle(AV) some of it seven times before the Lord,(AW) in front of the curtain of the sanctuary.(AX) The priest shall then put some of the blood on the horns(AY) of the altar of fragrant incense that is before the Lord in the tent of meeting. The rest of the bull’s blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar(AZ) of burnt offering(BA) at the entrance to the tent of meeting. He shall remove all the fat(BB) from the bull of the sin offering—all the fat that is connected to the internal organs, both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the long lobe of the liver, which he will remove with the kidneys(BC) 10 just as the fat is removed from the ox[b](BD) sacrificed as a fellowship offering.(BE) Then the priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering.(BF) 11 But the hide of the bull and all its flesh, as well as the head and legs, the internal organs and the intestines(BG) 12 that is, all the rest of the bull—he must take outside the camp(BH) to a place ceremonially clean,(BI) where the ashes(BJ) are thrown, and burn it(BK) there in a wood fire on the ash heap.(BL)

13 “‘If the whole Israelite community sins unintentionally(BM) and does what is forbidden in any of the Lord’s commands, even though the community is unaware of the matter, when they realize their guilt 14 and the sin they committed becomes known, the assembly must bring a young bull(BN) as a sin offering(BO) and present it before the tent of meeting. 15 The elders(BP) of the community are to lay their hands(BQ) on the bull’s head(BR) before the Lord, and the bull shall be slaughtered before the Lord.(BS) 16 Then the anointed priest is to take some of the bull’s blood(BT) into the tent of meeting. 17 He shall dip his finger into the blood and sprinkle(BU) it before the Lord(BV) seven times in front of the curtain. 18 He is to put some of the blood(BW) on the horns of the altar that is before the Lord(BX) in the tent of meeting. The rest of the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar(BY) of burnt offering at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 19 He shall remove all the fat(BZ) from it and burn it on the altar,(CA) 20 and do with this bull just as he did with the bull for the sin offering. In this way the priest will make atonement(CB) for the community, and they will be forgiven.(CC) 21 Then he shall take the bull outside the camp(CD) and burn it as he burned the first bull. This is the sin offering for the community.(CE)

22 “‘When a leader(CF) sins unintentionally(CG) and does what is forbidden in any of the commands of the Lord his God, when he realizes his guilt 23 and the sin he has committed becomes known, he must bring as his offering a male goat(CH) without defect. 24 He is to lay his hand on the goat’s head and slaughter it at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered before the Lord.(CI) It is a sin offering.(CJ) 25 Then the priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar(CK) of burnt offering and pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.(CL) 26 He shall burn all the fat on the altar as he burned the fat of the fellowship offering. In this way the priest will make atonement(CM) for the leader’s sin, and he will be forgiven.(CN)

27 “‘If any member of the community sins unintentionally(CO) and does what is forbidden in any of the Lord’s commands, when they realize their guilt 28 and the sin they have committed becomes known, they must bring as their offering(CP) for the sin they committed a female goat(CQ) without defect. 29 They are to lay their hand on the head(CR) of the sin offering(CS) and slaughter it at the place of the burnt offering.(CT) 30 Then the priest is to take some of the blood with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering(CU) and pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar. 31 They shall remove all the fat, just as the fat is removed from the fellowship offering, and the priest shall burn it on the altar(CV) as an aroma pleasing to the Lord.(CW) In this way the priest will make atonement(CX) for them, and they will be forgiven.(CY)

32 “‘If someone brings a lamb(CZ) as their sin offering, they are to bring a female without defect.(DA) 33 They are to lay their hand on its head and slaughter it(DB) for a sin offering(DC) at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered.(DD) 34 Then the priest shall 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 base of the altar.(DE) 35 They shall remove all the fat, just as the fat is removed from the lamb of the fellowship offering, and the priest shall burn it on the altar(DF) on top of the food offerings presented to the Lord. In this way the priest will make atonement for them for the sin they have committed, and they will be forgiven.

And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin through ignorance against any of the commandments of the Lord concerning things which ought not to be done, and shall do against any of them:

If the priest that is anointed do sin according to the sin of the people; then let him bring for his sin, which he hath sinned, a young bullock without blemish unto the Lord for a sin offering.

And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord; and shall lay his hand upon the bullock's head, and kill the bullock before the Lord.

And the priest that is anointed shall take of the bullock's blood, and bring it to the tabernacle of the congregation:

And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the blood seven times before the Lord, before the vail of the sanctuary.

And the priest shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar of sweet incense before the Lord, which is in the tabernacle of the congregation; and shall pour all the blood of the bullock at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

And the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away,

10 As it was taken off from the bullock of the sacrifice of peace offerings: and the priest shall burn them upon the altar of the burnt offering.

11 And the skin of the bullock, and all his flesh, with his head, and with his legs, and his inwards, and his dung,

12 Even the whole bullock shall he carry forth without the camp unto a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn him on the wood with fire: where the ashes are poured out shall he be burnt.

13 And if the whole congregation of Israel sin through ignorance, and the thing be hid from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done somewhat against any of the commandments of the Lord concerning things which should not be done, and are guilty;

14 When the sin, which they have sinned against it, is known, then the congregation shall offer a young bullock for the sin, and bring him before the tabernacle of the congregation.

15 And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands upon the head of the bullock before the Lord: and the bullock shall be killed before the Lord.

16 And the priest that is anointed shall bring of the bullock's blood to the tabernacle of the congregation:

17 And the priest shall dip his finger in some of the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before the Lord, even before the vail.

18 And he shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar which is before the Lord, that is in the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall pour out all the blood at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

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

20 And he shall do with the bullock as he did with the bullock for a sin offering, so shall he do with this: and the priest shall make an atonement for them, and it shall be forgiven them.

21 And he shall carry forth the bullock without the camp, and burn him as he burned the first bullock: it is a sin offering for the congregation.

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

23 Or if his sin, wherein he hath sinned, come to his knowledge; he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a male without blemish:

24 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat, and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before the Lord: it is a sin offering.

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

34 And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all the blood thereof at the bottom of the altar:

35 And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat of the lamb is taken away from the sacrifice of the peace offerings; and the priest shall burn them upon the altar, according to the offerings made by fire unto the Lord: and the priest shall make an atonement for his sin that he hath committed, and it shall be forgiven him.

The Peace Offering

‘When his offering is a (A)sacrifice of a peace offering, if he offers it of the herd, whether male or female, he shall offer it (B)without [a]blemish before the Lord. And (C)he shall lay his hand on the head of his offering, and kill it at the door of the tabernacle of meeting; and Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall (D)sprinkle the blood all around on the altar. Then he shall offer from the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire to the Lord. (E)The fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is on the entrails, the two kidneys and the fat that is on them by the flanks, and the fatty lobe attached to the liver above the kidneys, he shall remove; and Aaron’s sons (F)shall burn it on the altar upon the (G)burnt sacrifice, which is on the wood that is on the fire, as an (H)offering made by fire, a (I)sweet aroma to the Lord.

‘If his offering as a sacrifice of a peace offering to the Lord is of the flock, whether male or female, (J)he shall offer it without blemish. If he offers a (K)lamb as his offering, then he shall (L)offer it (M)before the Lord. And he shall lay his hand on the head of his offering, and kill it before the tabernacle of meeting; and Aaron’s sons shall sprinkle its blood all around on the altar.

‘Then he shall offer from the sacrifice of the peace offering, as an offering made by fire to the Lord, its fat and the whole fat tail which he shall remove close to the backbone. And the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is on the entrails, 10 the two kidneys and the fat that is on them by the flanks, and the fatty lobe attached to the liver above the kidneys, he shall remove; 11 and the priest shall burn them on the altar as (N)food, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

12 ‘And if his (O)offering is a goat, then (P)he shall offer it before the Lord. 13 He shall lay his hand on its head and kill it before the tabernacle of meeting; and the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle its blood all around on the altar. 14 Then he shall offer from it his offering, as an offering made by fire to the Lord. The fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is on the entrails, 15 the two kidneys and the fat that is on them by the flanks, and the fatty lobe attached to the liver above the kidneys, he shall remove; 16 and the priest shall burn them on the altar as food, an offering made by fire for a sweet aroma; (Q)all the fat is the Lord’s.

17 This shall be a (R)perpetual[b] statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings: you shall eat neither fat nor (S)blood.’ ”

The Sin Offering

Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: (T)‘If a person sins [c]unintentionally against any of the commandments of the Lord in anything which ought not to be done, and does any of them, (U)if the anointed priest sins, bringing guilt on the people, then let him offer to the Lord for his sin which he has sinned (V)a young bull without blemish as a (W)sin offering. He shall bring the bull (X)to the door of the tabernacle of meeting before the Lord, lay his hand on the bull’s head, and kill the bull before the Lord. Then the anointed priest (Y)shall take some of the bull’s blood and bring it to the tabernacle of meeting. The priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle some of the blood seven times before the Lord, in front of the (Z)veil of the sanctuary. And the priest shall (AA)put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of sweet incense before the Lord, which is in the tabernacle of meeting; and he shall pour (AB)the remaining blood of the bull at the base of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. He shall take from it all the fat of the bull as the sin offering. The fat that covers the entrails and all the fat which is on the entrails, the two kidneys and the fat that is on them by the flanks, and the fatty lobe attached to the liver above the kidneys, he shall remove, 10 (AC)as it was taken from the bull of the sacrifice of the peace offering; and the priest shall burn them on the altar of the burnt offering. 11 (AD)But the bull’s hide and all its flesh, with its head and legs, its entrails and offal— 12 the whole bull he shall carry outside the camp to a clean place, (AE)where the ashes are poured out, and (AF)burn it on wood with fire; where the ashes are poured out it shall be burned.

13 ‘Now (AG)if the whole congregation of Israel sins unintentionally, (AH)and the thing is hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done something against any of the commandments of the Lord in anything which should not be done, and are guilty; 14 when the sin which they have committed becomes known, then the assembly shall offer a young bull for the sin, and bring it before the tabernacle of meeting. 15 And the elders of the congregation (AI)shall lay their hands on the head of the bull before the Lord. Then the bull shall be killed before the Lord. 16 (AJ)The anointed priest shall bring some of the bull’s blood to the tabernacle of meeting. 17 Then the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the Lord, in front of the veil. 18 And he shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar which is before the Lord, which is in the tabernacle of meeting; and he shall pour the remaining blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. 19 He shall take all the fat from it and burn it on the altar. 20 And he shall do (AK)with the bull as he did with the bull as a sin offering; thus he shall do with it. (AL)So the priest shall make [d]atonement for them, and it shall be forgiven them. 21 Then he shall carry the bull outside the camp, and burn it as he burned the first bull. It is a sin offering for the assembly.

22 ‘When a [e]ruler has sinned, and (AM)done something unintentionally against any of the commandments of the Lord his God in anything which should not be done, and is guilty, 23 or (AN)if his sin which he has committed [f]comes to his knowledge, he shall bring as his offering a kid of the goats, a male without blemish. 24 And (AO)he shall lay his hand on the head of the goat, and kill it at the place where they kill the burnt offering before the Lord. It is a sin offering. 25 (AP)The priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour its blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering. 26 And he shall burn all its fat on the altar, like (AQ)the fat of the sacrifice of the peace offering. (AR)So the priest shall make [g]atonement for him concerning his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.

27 (AS)‘If [h]anyone of the [i]common people sins unintentionally by doing something against any of the commandments of the Lord in anything which ought not to be done, and is guilty, 28 or (AT)if his sin which he has committed comes to his knowledge, then he shall bring as his offering a kid of the goats, a female without blemish, for his sin which he has committed. 29 (AU)And he shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and kill the sin offering at the place of the burnt offering. 30 Then the priest shall take some of its blood with his finger, put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour all the remaining blood at the base of the altar. 31 (AV)He shall remove all its fat, (AW)as fat is removed from the sacrifice of the peace offering; and the priest shall burn it on the altar for a (AX)sweet aroma to the Lord. (AY)So the priest shall make atonement for him, and it shall be forgiven him.

32 ‘If he brings a lamb as his sin offering, (AZ)he shall bring a female without blemish. 33 Then he shall (BA)lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and kill it as a sin offering at the place where they kill the burnt offering. 34 The priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour all the remaining blood at the base of the altar. 35 He shall remove all its fat, as the fat of the lamb is removed from the sacrifice of the peace offering. Then the priest shall burn it on the altar, (BB)according to the offerings made by fire to the Lord. (BC)So the priest shall make atonement for his sin that he has committed, and it shall be forgiven him.
