¹³ “‘If the whole Israelite community sins unintentionally^(A) 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 ¹⁴ and the sin they committed becomes known, the assembly must bring a young bull^(B) as a sin offering^(C) and present it before the tent of meeting. ¹⁵ The elders^(D) of the community are to lay their hands^(E) on the bull’s head^(F) before the Lord, and the bull shall be slaughtered before the Lord.^{(G) 16} Then the anointed priest is to take some of the bull’s blood^(H) into the tent of meeting. ¹⁷ He shall dip his finger into the blood and sprinkle^(I) it before the Lord^(J) seven times in front of the curtain. ¹⁸ He is to put some of the blood^(K) on the horns of the altar that is before the Lord^(L) in the tent of meeting. The rest of the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar^(M) of burnt offering at the entrance to the tent of meeting. ¹⁹ He shall remove all the fat^(N) from it and burn it on the altar,^{(O) 20} and do with this bull just as he did with the bull for the sin offering. In this way the priest will make atonement^(P) for the community, and they will be forgiven.^{(Q) 21} Then he shall take the bull outside the camp^(R) and burn it as he burned the first bull. This is the sin offering for the community.^(S)

²⁷ Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices^(A) day after day, first for his own sins,^(B) and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all^(C) when he offered himself.^(D)

⁷ But only the high priest entered^(A) the inner room,^(B) and that only once a year,^(C) and never without blood,^(D) which he offered for himself^(E) and for the sins the people had committed in ignorance.^(F)

¹² He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves;^(A) but he entered the Most Holy Place^(B) once for all^(C) by his own blood,^(D) thus obtaining^[a] eternal redemption.

¹¹ The high priest carries the blood of animals into the Most Holy Place as a sin offering,^(A) but the bodies are burned outside the camp.^(B)
