Levítico 4

Green's Literal Translation

1And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying:

2Speak to the sons of Israel saying, When a person sins against any of the commands of Jehovah through ignorance, which is not to be done, and shall do any one of them;

3if the priest who is anointed sins, resulting in guilt to the people, then he shall bring near for his sin which he has sinned a bullock, a son of the herd, a perfect one, to Jehovah for a sin offering.

4And he shall bring the bullock into the opening of the tabernacle of the congregation, before the face of Jehovah. And he shall lay his hand on the head of the bullock and shall slaughter the bullock before the face of Jehovah.

5And the priest who is anointed shall take of the blood of the bullock and shall bring it to the tabernacle of the congregation.

6And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle of the blood seven times before the face of Jehovah, at the front of the veil of the holy place.

7And the priest shall put of the blood on the horns of the altar of sweet incense, at the opening of the tabernacle of the congregation, before the face of Jehovah.

8And he shall lift up from it the fat which covers over the inward parts, and all the fat on the inward parts,

9and the two kidneys and the fat on them, beside the loins, and he shall remove the fold on the liver beside the kidneys.

10As it is raised up from the sacrifice of the peace offerings of the bullock, the priest shall burn them as incense on the altar of burnt offering.

11And the skin of the bullock, and all its flesh with its head, and with its legs, and the inward parts, and its dung,

12he shall bring out all the bullock to the outside of the camp, to a clean place, to the place of the pouring of ashes; and he shall burn it on the wood with fire; it shall be burned at the place of pouring of ashes.

13And if the whole company of Israel shall err, and the thing has been hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they do that which is not to be done to any of all the commands of Jehovah, and are guilty;

14When the sin shall be known, that which they have sinned against it, then the congregation shall bring near a bullock, a son of the herd, for a sin offering. And they shall bring it in front of the tabernacle of the congregation.

15And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the bullock before the face of Jehovah. And they shall slaughter the bullock before the face of Jehovah.

16And the priest who is anointed shall bring in of the blood of the bullock to the tabernacle of the congregation.

17And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and shall sprinkle seven times before the face of Jehovah, at the front of the veil.

18And he shall put of the blood on the horns of the altar before the face of Jehovah in the tabernacle of the congregation. And he shall pour out all the blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

19And he shall lift up all its fat from it and shall burn it as incense on the altar.

20And he shall do with the bullock as he has done to the bullock of the sin offering, so he shall do to it. And the priest shall atone for them; and it shall be forgiven them.

21And he shall bring the bullock to the outside of the camp, and he shall burn it as he burned the first bullock; it is a sin offering of the congregation.

22When a ruler sins and has acted against one of all the commands of Jehovah his God, which not is to be done, through ignorance, and is guilty;

23or his sin which he has sinned shall be made known to him, then he shall bring his offering, a buck of the goats, a male, a perfect one;

24and he shall lay his hand on the head of the goat and shall slaughter it in the place where he slaughters the burnt offering, before the face of Jehovah; it is a sin offering.

25And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering, and with his finger he shall put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering; and he shall pour out its blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering.

26And he shall burn it as incense on the altar, with all its fat, as the fat of the sacrifice of the peace offerings. And the priest shall atone for him because of his sin; and it shall be forgiven him.

27And if any person of the people of the land sins through ignorance by doing that which is not to be done, against one of the commands of Jehovah, and is guilty;

28or his sin which he has sinned shall be made known to him, then he shall bring his offering, a ewe of the goats, a perfect one, a female, for his sin which he has sinned;

29then he shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and shall slaughter the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering.

30And the priest shall take of its blood with his finger and shall put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering. And he shall pour out all its blood at the base of the altar;

31and he shall take off all its fat, as has been taken off the sacrifice of peace offerings. And the priest shall burn it as incense on the altar for a soothing fragrance to Jehovah. And the priest shall atone for him, and it is forgiven him.

32And if he brings a lamb as his offering, a female, a perfect one, he shall bring it,

33and he shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and he shall slaughter it for a sin offering in the place where he slaughters the burnt offering.

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

35And he shall take off all its fat, as is taken off the fat of the lamb from the sacrifice of peace offerings. And the priest shall burn them as incense on the altar, on the fire offerings of Jehovah. And the priest shall atone for him for his sin which he has sinned; and it is forgiven him.

Reina-Valera 1909

1Y HABLÓ Jehová á Moisés, diciendo:

2Habla á los hijos de Israel, diciendo: Cuando alguna persona pecare por yerro en alguno de los mandamientos de Jehová sobre cosas que no se han de hacer, y obrare contra alguno de ellos;

3Si sacerdote ungido pecare según el pecado del pueblo, ofrecerá á Jehová, por su pecado que habrá cometido, un becerro sin tacha para expiación.

4Y traerá el becerro á la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio delante de Jehová, y pondrá su mano sobre la cabeza del becerro, y lo degollará delante de Jehová.

5Y el sacerdote ungido tomará de la sangre del becerro, y la traerá al tabernáculo del testimonio;

6Y mojará el sacerdote su dedo en la sangre, y rociará de aquella sangre siete veces delante de Jehová, hacia el velo del santuario.

7Y pondrá el sacerdote de la sangre sobre los cuernos del altar del perfume aromático, que está en el tabernáculo del testimonio delante de Jehová: y echará toda la sangre del becerro al pie del altar del holocausto, que está á la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio.

8Y tomará del becerro para la expiación todo su sebo, el sebo que cubre los intestinos, y todo el sebo que está sobre las entrañas,

9Y los dos riñones, y el sebo que está sobre ellos, y el que está sobre los ijares, y con los riñones quitará el redaño de sobre el hígado,

10De la manera que se quita del buey del sacrificio de las paces: y el sacerdote lo hará arder sobre el altar del holocausto.

11Y el cuero del becerro, y toda su carne, con su cabeza, y sus piernas, y sus intestinos, y su estiércol,

12En fin, todo el becerro sacará fuera del campo, á un lugar limpio, donde se echan las cenizas, y lo quemará al fuego sobre la leña: en donde se echan las cenizas será quemado.

13Y si toda la congregación de Israel hubiere errado, y el negocio estuviere oculto á los ojos del pueblo, y hubieren hecho algo contra alguno de los mandamientos de Jehová en cosas que no se han de hacer, y fueren culpables;

14Luego que fuere entendido el pecado sobre que delinquieron, la congregación ofrecerá un becerro por expiación, y lo traerán delante del tabernáculo del testimonio.

15Y los ancianos de la congregación pondrán sus manos sobre la cabeza del becerro delante de Jehová; y en presencia de Jehová degollarán aquel becerro.

16Y el sacerdote ungido meterá de la sangre del becerro en el tabernáculo del testimonio:

17Y mojará el sacerdote su dedo en la misma sangre, y rociará siete veces delante de Jehová hacia el velo.

18Y de aquella sangre pondrá sobre los cuernos del altar que está delante de Jehová en el tabernáculo del testimonio, y derramará toda la sangre al pie del altar del holocausto, que está á la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio.

19Y le quitará todo el sebo, y harálo arder sobre el altar.

20Y hará de aquel becerro como hizo con el becerro de la expiación; lo mismo hará de él: así hará el sacerdote expiación por ellos, y obtendrán perdón.

21Y sacará el becerro fuera del campamento, y lo quemará como quemó el primer becerro; expiación de la congregación.

22Y cuando pecare el príncipe, é hiciere por yerro algo contra alguno de todos los mandamientos de Jehová su Dios, sobre cosas que no se han de hacer, y pecare;

23Luego que le fuere conocido su pecado en que ha delinquido, presentará por su ofrenda un macho cabrío sin defecto;

24Y pondrá su mano sobre la cabeza del macho cabrío, y lo degollará en el lugar donde se degüella el holocausto delante de Jehová; es expiación.

25Y tomará el sacerdote con su dedo de la sangre de la expiación, y pondrá sobre los cuernos del altar del holocausto, y derramará la sangre al pie del altar del holocausto:

26Y quemará todo su sebo sobre el altar, como el sebo del sacrificio de las paces: así hará el sacerdote por él la expiación de su pecado, y tendrá perdón.

27Y si alguna persona del común del pueblo pecare por yerro, haciendo algo contra alguno de los mandamientos de Jehová en cosas que no se han de hacer, y delinquiere;

28Luego que le fuere conocido su pecado que cometió, traerá por su ofrenda una hembra de las cabras, una cabra sin defecto, por su pecado que habrá cometido:

29Y pondrá su mano sobre la cabeza de la expiación, y la degollará en el lugar del holocausto.

30Luego tomará el sacerdote en su dedo de su sangre, y pondrá sobre los cuernos del altar del holocausto, y derramará toda su sangre al pie del altar:

31Y le quitará todo su sebo, de la manera que fué quitado el sebo del sacrificio de las paces; y el sacerdote lo hará arder sobre el altar en olor de suavidad á Jehová: así hará el sacerdote expiación por él, y será perdonado.

32Y si trajere cordero para su ofrenda por el pecado, hembra sin defecto traerá:

33Y pondrá su mano sobre la cabeza de la expiación, y la degollará por expiación en el lugar donde se degüella el holocausto.

34Después tomará el sacerdote con su dedo de la sangre de la expiación, y pondrá sobre los cuernos del altar del holocausto; y derramará toda la sangre al pie del altar:

35Y le quitará todo su sebo, como fué quitado el sebo del sacrificio de las paces, y harálo el sacerdote arder en el altar sobre la ofrenda encendida á Jehová: y le hará el sacerdote expiación de su pecado que habrá cometido, y será perdonado.

King James Version

1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

2Speak 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:

3If 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.

4And 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.

5And the priest that is anointed shall take of the bullock’s 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 seven times before the LORD, before the vail of the sanctuary.

7And 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.

8And he shall take off from it all the fat of the bullock for the sin offering; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,

9And 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,

10As 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.

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

12Even 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.

13And 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;

14When 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.

15And 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.

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

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

18And 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.

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

20And 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.

21And 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.

22When 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;

23Or 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:

24And 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.

25And 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 his blood at the bottom of the altar of burnt offering.

26And he shall burn all his fat upon the altar, as the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings: and the priest shall make an atonement for him as concerning his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.

27And if any one of the common people sin through ignorance, while he doeth somewhat against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which ought not to be done, and be guilty;

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

29And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin 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 upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all the blood thereof at the bottom 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 burn it upon the altar for a sweet savour unto the LORD; and the priest shall make an atonement for him, and it shall be forgiven him.

32And if he bring a lamb for a sin offering, he shall bring it a female without blemish.

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

34And 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:

35And 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.

World English Bible

1The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

2“Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘If anyone sins unintentionally, in any of the things which the LORD has commanded not to be done, and does any one of them,

3if the anointed priest sins so as to bring guilt on the people, then let him offer for his sin which he has sinned a young bull without defect to the LORD for a sin offering.

4He shall bring the bull to the door of the Tent of Meeting before the LORD; and he shall lay his hand on the head of the bull, and kill the bull before the LORD.

5The anointed priest shall take some of the blood of the bull, and bring it to the Tent of Meeting.

6The priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle some of the blood seven times before the LORD, before the veil of the sanctuary.

7The priest shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of sweet incense before the LORD, which is in the Tent of Meeting; and he shall pour out the rest of the blood of the bull at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

8He shall take all the fat of the bull of the sin offering from it: the fat that covers the innards, and all the fat that is on the innards,

9and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys, he shall remove,

10as it is removed from the bull of the sacrifice of peace offerings. The priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering.

11He shall carry the bull’s skin, all its meat, with its head, and with its legs, its innards, and its dung

12—all the rest of the bull—outside of the camp to a clean place where the ashes are poured out, and burn it on wood with fire. It shall be burned where the ashes are poured out.

13“‘If the whole congregation of Israel sins, and the thing is hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done any of the things which the LORD has commanded not to be done, and are guilty;

14when the sin in which they have sinned is known, then the assembly shall offer a young bull for a sin offering, and bring it before the Tent of Meeting.

15The elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the bull before the LORD; and the bull shall be killed before the LORD.

16The anointed priest shall bring some of the blood of the bull to the Tent of Meeting.

17The priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD, before the veil.

18He shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar which is before the LORD, that is in the Tent of Meeting; and the rest of the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

19All its fat he shall take from it, and burn it on the altar.

20He shall do this with the bull; as he did with the bull of the sin offering, so he shall do with this; and the priest shall make atonement for them, and they shall be forgiven.

21He shall carry the bull outside the camp, and burn it as he burned the first bull. It is the sin offering for the assembly.

22“‘When a ruler sins, and unwittingly does any one of all the things which the LORD his God has commanded not to be done, and is guilty,

23if his sin in which he has sinned is made known to him, he shall bring as his offering a goat, a male without defect.

24He shall lay his hand on 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.

25The 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. He shall pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering.

26All its fat he shall burn on the altar, like the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin, and he will be forgiven.

27“‘If anyone of the common people sins unwittingly, in doing any of the things which the LORD has commanded not to be done, and is guilty,

28if his sin which he has sinned is made known to him, then he shall bring for his offering a goat, a female without defect, for his sin which he has sinned.

29He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and kill the sin offering in the place of burnt offering.

30The priest shall take some of its blood with his finger, and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering; and the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar.

31All its fat he shall take away, like the fat is taken away from the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn it on the altar for a pleasant aroma to the LORD; and the priest shall make atonement for him, and he will be forgiven.

32“‘If he brings a lamb as his offering for a sin offering, he shall bring a female without defect.

33He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and kill it for a sin offering in the place where they kill the burnt offering.

34The 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 all the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar.

35He shall remove all its fat, like the fat of the lamb is removed from the sacrifice of peace offerings. The priest shall burn them on the altar, on the offerings of the LORD made by fire. The priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin that he has sinned, and he will be forgiven.
