Offering for the Anointed Priest

3

then, if it is the anointed cohen who sinned and thus brought guilt on the people, he is to offer ADONAI a young bull without defect as a sin offering for the sin he committed.

4

He must bring the bull to the entrance of the tent of meeting before ADONAI, lay his hand on the bull's head and slaughter the bull in the presence of ADONAI.

5

The anointed cohen is to take some of the bull's blood and bring it to the tent of meeting.

6

The cohen is to dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle some of the blood seven times in the presence of ADONAI in front of the curtain of the sanctuary.

7

The cohen is to put some of the blood on the horns of the altar for fragrant incense before ADONAI there in the tent of meeting. All the remaining blood of the bull he is to pour out at the base of the altar for burnt offerings, which is at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

8

He is to remove from the bull for the sin offering all of its fat -the fat covering the inner organs, all the fat above the inner organs,

9

the two kidneys, the fat on them near the flanks, and the covering of the liver, which he will remove with the kidneys

10

as it is removed from an ox sacrificed as a peace offering; and the cohen is to make these parts go up in smoke on the altar for burnt offerings.

11

But the bull's hide and all its flesh, with its head, the lower parts of its legs, its inner organs and dung -

12

in other words, the entire bull -he is to bring outside the camp to a clean place, where the ashes are emptied out. There he is to burn it on wood with fire; there, where the ashes are emptied out, it is to be burned up.
