HIS WORDS: Leviticus 4:1-35

MY WORDS

The LORD spoke to Moses and said, "Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, 'If a person sins unintentionally by straying from any of God's commands, breaking what must not be broken, if it's the anointed priest who sins and brings guilt on the people, he is to bring a bull without defect to GOD as a sin offering. [Heb. 7:27,28] He must bring the bull to the door of the Tent of Meeting in the presence of GOD, lay [both] of his hands on the bull's head and kill [it] before the Lord. Then he shall take some of the bull's blood, bring it into the Tent of Meeting, dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle some of it seven times before the Lord before the veil (curtain) of the sanctuary. He is to put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of sweet (fragrant) incense before the Lord which is in the Tent of Meeting; and all the rest of the blood of the bull shall be poured out at the base of the altar of the burnt offering at the door of the Tent of Meeting. He is to remove all the fat from the bull of the sin offering that covers and is on its organs, the two kidneys and the fat that is on them at the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which he shall take away with the kidneys (just as these are taken off of the ox of the sacrifice of the peace offerings), and the priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering. But the hide of the bull and all its flesh, its head, its legs, its organs, and its dung - he is to take outside the camp to a clean place where the ashes are dumped and burned on a wood fire. [Heb. 13:11-13]

'If the whole congregation sins unintentionally by straying from one of the commandments of GOD that must not be broken, they become guilty even though no one is aware of it. When they do become aware, the congregation must bring a bull as a burnt offering for a sin offering and bring it before the tent of meeting. Then the 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. Then the anointed priest is to bring some of the blood, and sprinkle some of it seven times before GOD in front of the curtain. He will smear some of the blood on the horns of the altar which is before the LORD in the Tent of Meeting and pour the rest of it at the base of the altar of burnt offering which is at the doorway of the tent of meeting. He shall remove all the fat from it and offer it up in the smoke on the altar. He shall do with the bull just as he did with the bull of the sin offering;  The priest would make atonement (cover over their sin), and they are forgiven. Then they will take the bull outside the camp and burn it just as they burned the first bull. It is the sin offering for the assembly.

'When a leader sins and unintentionally does any of all the things which the LORD his God has commanded not to be done and he becomes guilty, if his sin which he has committed is made known to him, he must bring for his offering a goat, a male without defect. He shall lay his hand on the head of the male goat and slay it in the place where they slay the burnt offering before the LORD; it is a sin offering. Then the priest is to take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put in on the horns of the altar of burnt offerings; and the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering. All its fat he shall offer up in smoke on the altar as in the case of the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings. Thus the priest shall make atonement (cover over the sin) for himself in regard to his sin, and he will be forgiven. 

'Now if any of the common people sins unintentionally in doing any of the things which the LORD has commanded not to be done; and becomes guilty, if his sin which he has committed is made known to him, than he shall bring for his offering a goat, a female without defect, for his sin which he has committed. He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and kill the sin offering at the place of the burnt offering. The priest shall take some of the blood with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering; and all the rest of it blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar. Then he shall remove all its fat, just as the fat was removed from the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall offer it up in smoke on the altar for a pleasing fragrance to the LORD. 


'Thus the priest shall make atonement (cover over the sin) for him, and he will be forgiven. 

'If he brings a lamb as his sin offering, he shall bring a female without blemish. He shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering. And 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 all the rest of the blood of the lamb he shall pour out at the base of the altar. And he shall take away all the fat of it, just as the fat of the lamb is removed from the sacrifice of the peace offerings; and the priest shall burn it on the altar upon the offerings made by fire to the Lord; and the priest shall make atonement for the sin which the man has committed, and he shall be forgiven. [Heb. 9:13,14]
