獻贖罪祭的條例
1耶和華對摩西說： 2「你把以下條例告訴以色列人。
「如果有人無意中犯罪，觸犯耶和華的任何誡命，要按以下方式獻贖罪祭。
3「若大祭司犯罪，禍及眾民，他必須獻給耶和華一頭毫無殘疾的公牛犢作贖罪祭。 4他要把公牛犢牽到會幕門口，將手放在牛頭上，在耶和華面前宰牛。 5他要取一些公牛的血帶進會幕裡， 6在耶和華面前用手指蘸血向聖所的幔子彈灑七次， 7也要把一些公牛的血抹在耶和華面前的香壇凸起的四角上，再把剩下的血倒在會幕門口的燔祭壇腳。 8他要取出作贖罪祭的公牛犢的所有脂肪，即包裹內臟的脂肪和內臟上的脂肪、 9兩個腎臟和腎臟上靠近腰部的脂肪以及肝葉， 10正如取出平安祭牲的脂肪一樣。他要將這一切放在燔祭壇上焚燒。 11-12至於公牛剩下的部分，即皮、所有的肉、頭、腿、內臟和糞便，他要帶到營外潔淨之處，就是倒壇灰的地方，放在柴上焚燒。
13「以色列全體會眾若無意中觸犯耶和華的任何誡命，即使沒有意識到，也是犯罪。 14他們察覺自己犯罪後，必須獻上一頭公牛犢作贖罪祭。要將公牛犢帶到會幕前， 15會眾的長老要把手放在公牛的頭上，在耶和華面前宰牛。 16大祭司要帶一些牛血進入會幕， 17在耶和華面前用手指蘸血向幔子彈灑七次， 18也要把一些血抹在耶和華面前的香壇凸起的四角上，再把剩下的血倒在會幕門前的燔祭壇腳。 19他要取出公牛犢的所有脂肪，放在祭壇上焚燒， 20正如取出贖罪祭牲的脂肪一樣。這樣，祭司為全體會眾贖了罪，他們就會得到赦免。 21他要把這公牛犢剩下的部分拿到營外焚燒，像焚燒前一頭公牛犢一樣。這是為全體會眾所獻的贖罪祭。
22「首領若無意中觸犯他上帝耶和華的任何誡命，也是犯罪。 23他察覺自己犯罪後，必須獻上一隻毫無殘疾的公山羊作祭物。 24他要把手放在羊頭上，在殺燔祭牲的地方，在耶和華面前宰羊。這是他的贖罪祭。 25祭司要用手指蘸一些贖罪祭牲的血抹在燔祭壇凸起的四角上，再把剩下的血倒在燔祭壇腳。 26要像焚燒平安祭牲的脂肪一樣，把羊的所有脂肪都放在壇上焚燒。這樣，祭司為他贖了罪，他就會得到赦免。
27「平民若無意中觸犯耶和華的任何誡命，也是犯罪。 28他察覺自己犯罪後，必須獻上一隻毫無殘疾的母山羊作贖罪祭。 29他要把手放在贖罪祭牲的頭上，在殺燔祭牲的地方宰羊。 30祭司要用手指蘸一些羊血抹在燔祭壇凸起的四角上，再把剩下的血倒在燔祭壇腳。 31獻祭者要像取出平安祭牲的脂肪一樣，取出母山羊的所有脂肪。祭司要把這一切放在壇上焚燒，作為蒙耶和華悅納的馨香之祭。這樣，祭司為他贖了罪，他就會得到赦免。
32「他若獻綿羊作贖罪祭，必須獻一隻毫無殘疾的母綿羊。 33他要把手放在羊頭上，在殺燔祭牲的地方宰羊。 34祭司要用手指蘸一些羊血抹在燔祭壇凸起的四角上，再把剩下的血倒在燔祭壇腳。 35獻祭者要像取出平安祭牲的脂肪一樣，取出母綿羊的所有脂肪。祭司要把這一切放在壇上，與獻給耶和華的祭物一起焚燒。這樣，祭司為他贖了罪，他就會得到赦免。
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.
