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.

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.
