The Sin Offering
1The Lord said to Moses, 2“Say to the Israelites: ‘When anyone sins unintentionally and does what is forbidden in any of the Lord’s commands—
3“ ‘If the anointed priest sins, bringing guilt on the people, he must bring to the Lord a young bull without defect as a sin offering4:3 Or purification offering; here and throughout this chapter for the sin he has committed. 4He is to present the bull at the entrance to the tent of meeting before the Lord. He is to lay his hand on its head and slaughter it there before the Lord. 5Then the anointed priest shall take some of the bull’s blood and carry it into the tent of meeting. 6He is to dip his finger into the blood and sprinkle some of it seven times before the Lord, in front of the curtain of the sanctuary. 7The priest shall then put some of the blood on the horns 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 of burnt offering at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 8He shall remove all the fat from the bull of the sin offering—all the fat that is connected to the internal organs, 9both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the long lobe of the liver, which he will remove with the kidneys— 10just as the fat is removed from the ox4:10 The Hebrew word can refer to either male or female. sacrificed as a fellowship offering. Then the priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering. 11But the hide of the bull and all its flesh, as well as the head and legs, the internal organs and the intestines— 12that is, all the rest of the bull—he must take outside the camp to a place ceremonially clean, where the ashes are thrown, and burn it there in a wood fire on the ash heap.
13“ ‘If the whole Israelite community sins unintentionally 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 14and the sin they committed becomes known, the assembly must bring a young bull as a sin offering and present it before the tent of meeting. 15The elders of the community are to lay their hands on the bull’s head before the Lord, and the bull shall be slaughtered before the Lord. 16Then the anointed priest is to take some of the bull’s blood into the tent of meeting. 17He shall dip his finger into the blood and sprinkle it before the Lord seven times in front of the curtain. 18He is to put some of the blood on the horns of the altar that is before the Lord in the tent of meeting. The rest of the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 19He shall remove all the fat from it and burn it on the altar, 20and do with this bull just as he did with the bull for the sin offering. In this way the priest will make atonement for the community, and they will be forgiven. 21Then he shall take the bull outside the camp and burn it as he burned the first bull. This is the sin offering for the community.
22“ ‘When a leader sins unintentionally and does what is forbidden in any of the commands of the Lord his God, when he realizes his guilt 23and the sin he has committed becomes known, he must bring as his offering a male goat without defect. 24He 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. It is a sin offering. 25Then 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. 26He 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 for the leader’s sin, and he will be forgiven.
27“ ‘If any member of the community sins unintentionally and does what is forbidden in any of the Lord’s commands, when they realize their guilt 28and the sin they have committed becomes known, they must bring as their offering for the sin they committed a female goat without defect. 29They are to lay their hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it at the place of the burnt offering. 30Then the priest is to take some of the 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 base of the altar. 31They shall remove all the fat, just as the fat is removed from the fellowship offering, and the priest shall burn it on the altar as an aroma pleasing to the Lord. In this way the priest will make atonement for them, and they will be forgiven.
32“ ‘If someone brings a lamb as their sin offering, they are to bring a female without defect. 33They are to lay their hand on its head and slaughter it for a sin offering at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered. 34Then 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. 35They 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 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.

Ataweka mkono wake juu ya kichwa cha huyo fahali na kumchinja mbele za Bwana. 54:5 Law 16:14Kisha kuhani huyo aliyetiwa mafuta atachukua sehemu ya damu ya huyo fahali na kuileta katika Hema la Kukutania. 64:6 Kut 24:8; 25:8; Law 16:14-19; Isa 42:21; Yn 8:20; Rum 3:24; 2Kor 5:19; Efe 2:13; Ufu 5:9Atachovya kidole chake katika hiyo damu na kuinyunyiza sehemu yake mara saba mbele za Bwana mbele ya pazia la mahali patakatifu. 74:7 Kut 27:2; 29:12; Law 8:15; 5:9; 9:9; 16:18; Ebr 9:21-25; Yos 7:11Kisha kuhani atatia sehemu ya hiyo damu juu ya pembe za madhabahu ya kufukizia uvumba wenye harufu nzuri iliyoko mbele za Bwana katika Hema la Kukutania. Damu iliyobaki ya huyo fahali ataimwaga chini ya hayo madhabahu ya kuteketezea sadaka kwenye ingilio la Hema la Kukutania. 8Atayaondoa mafuta yote ya fahali huyo wa sadaka ya dhambi, mafuta yale yanayofunika sehemu za ndani au zile zinazounganika nazo, 94:9 Law 3:4figo zote mbili na mafuta yaliyo juu yake karibu na kiuno na yale yanayofunika ini ambayo atayaondoa pamoja na figo zote, 104:10 Kut 32:2; 29:13kama vile mafuta yanayoondolewa kutoka kwenye maksai aliyetolewa sadaka ya amani. Kisha kuhani ataviteketeza juu ya madhabahu ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa. 114:11 Kut 29:14; Law 8:17; 9:11; Hes 19:5; 4:12; Kut 29:14; Law 1:16; 6:11, 30; 8:17; 9:11; 10:14; Ebr 13:11; Hes 19:9Lakini ngozi ya huyo fahali na nyama zake zote, pamoja na kichwa na miguu yake, sehemu za ndani na matumbo, 12yaani sehemu nyingine zote zilizobaki za huyo fahali, lazima azitoe nje ya kambi mpaka mahali palipo safi kiibada, ambapo majivu hutupwa, naye atamchoma kwa moto juu ya kuni zilizoko juu ya lundo la majivu.
134:13 Hes 15:24-26“ ‘Ikiwa jumuiya yote ya Israeli watatenda dhambi pasipo kukusudia na kufanya lile lililokatazwa katika amri yoyote ya Bwana, hata kama jumuiya haifahamu juu ya jambo hilo, wana hatia. 144:14 Hes 15:24; 4:15; Kut 3:16; 19:7; 29:10; 2Nya 29:23; Hes 8:10; Isa 53:6; Mt 8:17; Ebr 9:2; 9:12-14Wanapotambua kuhusu dhambi waliyoitenda, lazima kusanyiko lilete fahali mchanga kuwa sadaka ya dhambi na kuikabidhi mbele ya Hema la Kukutania. 15Wazee wa jumuiya wataweka mikono yao juu ya kichwa cha huyo fahali aliye mbele za Bwana, naye fahali atachinjwa mbele za Bwana. 16Kisha kuhani aliyetiwa mafuta ataiingiza sehemu ya damu ya huyo fahali ndani ya Hema la Kukutania. 174:17 Hes 19:4, 18Atachovya kidole chake kwenye damu na kuinyunyiza mara saba mbele za Bwana mbele ya hilo pazia. 184:18 Law 5:9; 6:30; 8:15; 10:18; 17:6; 2Nya 29:22Atatia sehemu ya hiyo damu juu ya pembe za madhabahu yaliyo mbele za Bwana katika Hema la Kukutania. Damu iliyobaki ataimwaga chini ya madhabahu ya kuteketezea sadaka, penye ingilio la Hema la Kukutania. 19Atayaondoa mafuta yote ya yule fahali na kuyateketeza juu ya madhabahu, 204:20 Kut 29:36; 32:30; Rum 3:25; Ebr 10:10-15; Hes 15:25; Dan 9:24naye atamfanyia fahali huyu kama alivyomfanyia yule fahali mwingine wa sadaka ya dhambi. Kwa njia hii kuhani atawafanyia watu upatanisho, nao watasamehewa. 214:21 Law 16:5, 15; 2Nya 29:21Kisha atamchukua yule fahali nje ya kambi na kumteketeza kama alivyomteketeza yule wa kwanza. Hii ni sadaka ya dhambi kwa ajili ya jumuiya.

Hii ni sadaka ya dhambi. 254:25 Law 9:9; 16:18; Eze 43:20-22Kisha kuhani atachukua sehemu ya damu ya sadaka ya dhambi kwa kidole chake na kuitia kwenye pembe za madhabahu ya sadaka ya kuteketeza, na kuimwaga damu iliyobaki chini ya madhabahu. 264:26 Kut 32:30; Law 5:10; 12:8; Hes 15:28Atayateketeza mafuta yote juu ya madhabahu, kama alivyoteketeza mafuta ya sadaka ya amani.

Kwa njia hii kuhani atafanya upatanisho kwa ajili yake, naye atasamehewa.
