1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak 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: 3 If 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. 4 And 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. 5 And the priest that is anointed shall take of the bullock’s blood, and bring it to the tabernacle of the congregation: 6 And 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. 7 And 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. 8 And 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, 9 And 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, 10 As 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. 11 And the skin of the bullock, and all his flesh, with his head, and with his legs, and his inwards, and his dung, 12 Even 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.

13 And 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; 14 When 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. 15 And 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. 16 And the priest that is anointed shall bring of the bullock’s blood to the tabernacle of the congregation: 17 And the priest shall dip his finger in some of the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD, even before the vail. 18 And 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. 19 And he shall take all his fat from him, and burn it upon the altar. 20 And 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. 21 And 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.

22 When 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; 23 Or 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: 24 And 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. 25 And 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. 26 And 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.

27 And 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; 28 Or 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. 29 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering. 30 And 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. 31 And 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. 32 And if he bring a lamb for a sin offering, he shall bring it a female without blemish. 33 And 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. 34 And 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: 35 And 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.

1 Verder het die HERE met Moses gespreek en gesê:

2 Spreek met die kinders van Israel en sê: As iemand in swakheid sondig teen een van alle gebooie van die HERE en een van die dinge wat nie gedoen mag word nie, tog doen

3 as die gesalfde priester sondig, sodat die volk daardeur skuldig word, moet hy vir die sonde wat hy gedoen het, 'n jong bul sonder gebrek aan die HERE as sondoffer bring;

4 en hy moet die bul bring na die ingang van die tent van samekoms, voor die aangesig van die HERE, en moet sy hand op die kop van die bul lê en die bul slag voor die aangesig van die HERE.

5 Dan moet die gesalfde priester van die bloed van die bul neem en dit na die tent van samekoms bring,

6 en die priester moet sy vinger in die bloed steek en van die bloed sewe maal sprinkel voor die aangesig van die HERE, voor die voorhangsel van die heiligdom.

7 Ook moet die priester van die bloed stryk aan die horings van die altaar van die reukwerk van speserye, wat in die tent van samekoms is, voor die aangesig van die HERE; en hy moet al die orige bloed van die bul uitgiet aan die onderkant van die brandofferaltaar wat by die ingang van die tent van samekoms is;

8 en al die vet van die sondofferbul moet hy van hom aflig, die vet wat oor die binnegoed lê, en al die vet wat aan die binnegoed is,

9 en die twee niere en die vet daarop wat aan die lendene is, en die lap aan die lewer by die niere moet hy dit wegneem

10 soos dit van die dankofferbul afgelig word en die priester moet dit aan die brand steek op die brandofferaltaar.

11 Maar die vel van die bul en al sy vleis met die kop en die pote en die binnegoed en die mis

12 die hele bul moet hy buitekant die laer uitbring op 'n rein plek waar die as uitgegooi word, en hy moet hom op hout met vuur verbrand; op die plek waar die as uitgegooi word, moet hy verbrand word.

13 En as die hele vergadering van Israel hulle misgaan sonder dat die vergadering hom daarvan bewus is; en hulle enigiets doen wat die HERE verbied het, en skuldig word;

14 en die sonde wat hulle so gedoen het, bekend word, moet die vergadering 'n jong bul as sondoffer laat aankom en hom voor die tent van samekoms bring,

15 en die oudstes van die vergadering moet hulle hande op die kop van die bul lê voor die aangesig van die HERE, en die bul moet voor die aangesig van die HERE geslag word.

16 Dan moet die gesalfde priester van die bloed van die bul in die tent van samekoms bring,

17 en die priester moet sy vinger in die bloed steek en sewe maal voor die aangesig van die HERE, voor die voorhangsel sprinkel.

18 En hy moet van die bloed stryk aan die horings van die altaar wat in die tent van samekoms voor die aangesig van die HERE is. Dan moet hy al die orige bloed uitgiet aan die onderkant van die brandofferaltaar wat by die ingang van die tent van samekoms is;

19 en hy moet al die vet van hom aflig en op die altaar aan die brand steek

20 en met die bul doen soos hy met die sondofferbul gedoen het. So moet hy met hom maak; en die priester moet vir hulle versoening doen, en dit sal hulle vergewe word.

21 Daarna moet hy die bul buitekant die laer uitbring en hom verbrand soos hy die eerste bul verbrand het; dit is 'n sondoffer van die vergadering.

22 As 'n owerste sondig en in swakheid enigiets doen wat die HERE sy God verbied het, en hy skuldig word;

23 of as sy sonde wat hy so gedoen het, aan hom bekend word, moet hy as sy offer bring 'n bok sonder gebrek, 'n ram;

24 en hy moet sy hand op die kop van die bok lê en hom slag op die plek waar hulle die brandoffer voor die aangesig van die HERE slag; dit is 'n sondoffer.

25 Dan moet die priester van die bloed van die sondoffer met sy vinger neem en dit aan die horings van die brandofferaltaar stryk; maar die orige bloed moet hy aan die onderkant van die brandofferaltaar uitgiet.

26 Hy moet ook al die vet op die altaar aan die brand steek soos die vet van die dankoffer. So moet die priester dan vir hom versoening doen weens sy sonde, en dit sal hom vergewe word.

27 En as iemand van die volk van die land in swakheid sondig, omdat hy enigiets doen wat die HERE verbied het, en hy skuldig word;

28 of as sy sonde wat hy gedoen het, aan hom bekend word, dan moet hy as sy offer bring 'n bok sonder gebrek, 'n ooi, vir die sonde wat hy gedoen het;

29 en hy moet sy hand op die kop van die sondoffer lê en die sondoffer slag op die plek van die brandoffer.

30 Dan moet die priester van haar bloed met sy vinger neem en dit aan die horings van die brandofferaltaar stryk; maar al die orige bloed moet hy aan die onderkant van die altaar uitgiet;

31 en al die vet moet hy wegneem soos die vet van die dankoffer af weggeneem is, en die priester moet dit op die altaar aan die brand steek as lieflike geur vir die HERE. So moet die priester dan vir hom versoening doen, en dit sal hom vergewe word.

32 Maar ingeval hy 'n skaaplam as sy sondoffer bring, moet dit 'n ooi wees sonder gebrek wat hy bring;

33 en hy moet sy hand op die kop van die sondoffer lê en dit as sondoffer slag op die plek waar hulle die brandoffer slag.

34 Dan moet die priester van die bloed van die sondoffer met sy vinger neem en dit aan die horings van die brandofferaltaar stryk, maar al die orige bloed moet hy aan die onderkant van die altaar uitgiet;

35 en al die vet moet hy wegneem soos die vet van die dankofferlam weggeneem word, en die priester moet dit op die altaar oor die vuuroffers van die HERE aan die brand steek. So moet die priester dan vir hom versoening doen vir die sonde wat hy gedoen het, en dit sal hom vergewe word.
