Leviticus 4:1–5 · Berean Standard Bible

1 Then the LORD said to Moses,

2 “Tell the Israelites to do as follows with one who sins unintentionally against any of the LORD’s commandments and does what is forbidden by them:

3 If the anointed priest sins, bringing guilt on the people, he must bring to the LORD a young bull without blemish as a sin offering for the sin he has committed.

4 He must bring the bull to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting before the LORD, lay his hand on the bull’s head, and slaughter it before the LORD.

5 Then the anointed priest shall take some of the bull’s blood and bring it into the Tent of Meeting.
