Leviticus 4:8-19 The Regulations for Offering Sacrifices

8 He shall remove all the fat from the bull of the sin offering—the fat that covers the inner parts or is connected to them,

9 both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the covering of the liver, which he will remove with the kidneys—

10 just as the fat is removed from the ox sacrificed as a fellowship offering. Then the priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering.

11 But the hide of the bull and all its flesh, as well as the head and legs, the inner parts and offal—

12 that is, all the rest of the bull—he must take outside the camp to a place ceremonially clean, where the ashes are thrown, and burn it in a wood fire on the ash heap.

13 “‘If the whole Israelite community sins unintentionally and does what is forbidden in any of the Lord’s commands, even though the community is unaware of the matter, they are guilty.

14 When they become aware of the sin they committed, the assembly must bring a young bull as a sin offering and present it before the Tent of Meeting.

15 The elders of the community are to lay their hands on the bull’s head before the Lord, and the bull shall be slaughtered before the Lord.

16 Then the anointed priest is to take some of the bull’s blood into the Tent of Meeting.

17 He shall dip his finger into the blood and sprinkle it before the Lord seven times in front of the curtain.

18 He is to put some of the blood on the horns of the altar that is before the Lord in the Tent of Meeting. The rest of the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

19 He shall remove all the fat from it and burn it on the altar,
