Malcom: Welcome to Immerse: the
daily bible reading experience.
Day 100 and 23
then the Lord said to Moses,
give the following instructions
to the people of Israel.
This is how you are to deal with those
who sin unintentionally by doing anything
that violates one of the Lord's commands.
If the high priest sins bringing guilt
upon the entire community, he must give a
sin offering for the sin he has committed.
He must present to the Lord
a young bull with no defects.
He must bring the bull to the Lord
at the entrance of the tabernacle,
lay his hand on the bull's head
and slaughter it before the Lord.
The high priest will then take some of
the bull's blood into the tabernacle,
dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle
it seven times before the Lord in front
of the inner curtain of the sanctuary.
The priest will then put some of
the blood on the horns of the altar.
For fragrant incense that stands
in the Lord's presence inside the
tabernacle, he will pour out the
rest of the bull's blood at the base
of the altar for burned offerings
at the entrance of the tabernacle.
Then the priest must remove all the fat of
the bull to be offered as a sin offering.
This includes all the fat around the
internal organs, the two kidneys,
and the fat around them, near the
loins and the long lobe of the liver.
He must remove these
along with the kidneys.
Just as he does with cattle, offered
as a peace offering and burn them on
the altar of burnt offerings, but he
must take whatever is left of the bull.
It's hide meat, head legs, internal
organs, and dung, and carry
it away to a place outside the
camp that is ceremonially clean.
The place where the ashes are
dumped there on the ash heap,
he will burn it on a wood fire.
If the entire Israelite community
sins by violating one of the Lord's
commands, but the people don't
realize it, they are still guilty
when they become aware of their sin.
The people must bring a young bull
as an offering for their sin and
present it before the tabernacle.
The elders of the community must then
lay their hands on the bull's head
and slaughter it before the Lord.
The high priest will then take some of
the bull's blood into the tabernacle,
dip his finger in the blood, and
sprinkle it seven times before the
Lord in front of the inner curtain.
He will then put some of the blood on
the horns of the altar for fragrant
incense that stands in the Lord's
presence inside the tabernacle.
He will pour out the rest of the blood at
the base of the altar for burnt offerings
at the entrance of the tabernacle.
Then the priest must remove all the
animals' fat and burn it on the altar,
just as he does with the bull offered
as a sin offering for the high priest.
Through this process, the priest will
purify the people, making them right
with the Lord and they will be forgiven.
Then the priest must take what
is left of the bull and carry
it outside the camp and burn it.
There just as is done with the
sin offering for the high priest.
This offering is for the sin of
the entire congregation of Israel.
If one of Israel's leaders sins
by violating one of the commands
of the Lord his God, but doesn't
realize it, he is still guilty.
When he becomes aware of his sin, he
must bring as his offering a male goat
with no defects, he must lay his hand
on the goat's head and slaughter it
at the place where burnt offerings
are slaughtered before the Lord.
This is an offering for his sin.
Then the priest will dip his
finger in the blood of the sin
offering and put it on the horns
of the altar for burnt offerings.
He will pour out the rest of the
blood at the base of the altar.
Then he must burn all the goats
fat on the altar just as he
does with the peace offering.
Through this process, the priest
will purify the leader from his
sin, making him right with the
Lord, and he will be forgiven.
If any of the common people sin
by violating one of the Lord's
commands, but they don't realize
it, they are still guilty.
When they become aware of their sin,
they must bring as an offering for their
sin, a female goat with no defects.
They must lay a hand on the head of the
sin offering and slaughter it at the place
where burnt offerings are slaughtered.
Then the priest will dip his finger
in the blood and put it on the horns
of the altar for burnt offerings.
He will pour out the rest of the
blood at the base of the altar.
Then he must remove all the
goat's fat just as he does with
the fat of the peace offering.
He will burn the fat on the altar and
it will be a pleasing aroma to the Lord.
Through this process, the priest will
purify the people, making them right
with the Lord and they will be forgiven.
If the people bring a sheep
as their sin offering, it must
be a female with no defects.
They must lay a hand on the head of the
sin offering and slaughter it at the place
where burnt offerings are slaughtered.
Then the priest will dip his
finger in the blood of the sin
offering and put it on the horns
of the altar for burnt offerings.
He will pour out the rest of the
blood at the base of the altar.
Then he must remove all the sheep's fat.
Just as he does with the fat of a sheep
presented as a peace offering, he will
burn the fat on the altar on top of the
special gifts presented to the Lord.
Through this process, the priest
will purify the people from their
sin, making them right with the
Lord and they will be forgiven.
If you are called to testify about
something you have seen or that you know
about, it is sinful to refuse to testify
and you will be punished for your sin.
Or suppose you unknowingly touch something
that is ceremonially unclean, such
as the carcass of an unclean animal.
When you realize what you have done, you
must admit your defilement and your guilt.
This is true whether it is a wild
animal, a domestic animal, or an
animal that scurries along the ground,
or suppose you unknowingly touch
something that makes a person unclean.
When you realize what you have
done, you must admit your guilt.
Or suppose you make a foolish
vow of any kind, whether its
purpose is for good or for bad.
When you realize its foolishness,
you must admit your guilt.
When you become aware of your guilt in any
of these ways, you must confess your sin.
Then you must bring to the Lord as a
penalty for your sin, a female from
the flock, either a sheep or a goat.
This is a sin offering with which the
priest will purify you from your sin.
Making you right with the Lord.
But if you cannot afford to bring
a sheep, you may bring to the
Lord two turtle doves or two young
pigeons as the penalty for your sin.
One of the birds will be for a sin
offering and the other for a burnt
offering, you must bring them to
the priest who will present the
first bird as the sin offering.
He will ring its neck, but without
severing its head from the body.
Then he will sprinkle some of the blood
of the sin offering against the sides of
the altar, and the rest of the blood will
be drained out at the base of the altar.
This is an offering for sin.
The priest will then prepare the second
bird as a burnt offering following all
the procedures that have been prescribed
Through this process, the priest will
purify you from your sin, making you right
with the Lord, and you will be forgiven.
If you cannot afford to bring two
turtle doves or two young pigeons,
you may bring two quartz of choice
flour for your sin offering.
Since it is an offering for sin,
you must not moisten it with olive
oil or put any frankincense on it.
Take the flour to the priest
who will scoop out a handful
as a representative portion.
He will burn it on the altar on top of
the special gifts presented to the Lord.
It is an offering for sin.
Through this process, the priest will
purify those who are guilty of any
of these sins, making them right with
the Lord, and they will be forgiven.
The rest of the flower
will belong to the priest.
Just as with the grain offering.
Then the, the Lord said to Moses, if one
of you commits a sin by unintentionally
defiling the Lord's sacred property, you
must bring a guilt offering to the Lord.
The offering must be your own ram
with no defects, or you may buy one
of equal value with silver as measured
by the weight of the sanctuary.
Shekel, you must make restitution for the
sacred property you have harmed by paying
for the loss, plus an additional 20%.
When you give the payment to the
priest, he will purify you with
the ram, sacrificed as a guilt
offering, making you right with
the Lord and you will be forgiven.
Suppose you sin by violating
one of the Lord's commands.
Even if you are unaware of what
you have done, you are guilty and
will be punished for your sin.
For a guilt offering, you must bring to
the priest your own ram with no defects,
or you may buy one of equal value.
Through this process, the priest will
purify you from your unintentional
sin, making you right with the
Lord, and you will be forgiven.
This is a guilt offering for you have been
guilty of an offense against the Lord.
Then the Lord said to Moses, suppose
one of you sins against your associate
and is unfaithful to the Lord.
Suppose you cheat in a deal involving
a security deposit, or you steal
or commit fraud, or you find lost
property and lie about it, or you
lie while swearing to tell the truth
or you commit any other such sin.
If you have sinned in any of these
ways you are guilty, you must give back
whatever you stole or the money you took
by extortion or the security deposit
or the lost property you found, or
anything obtained by swearing falsely.
You must make restitution by paying the
full price plus an additional 20% to the
person you have harmed on the same day.
You must present a guilt offering.
As a guilt offering to the Lord,
you must bring to the priest
your own ram with no defects, or
you may buy one of equal value.
Through this process, the priest will
purify you before the Lord, making you
right with him, and you will be forgiven
for any of these sins you have committed.
