4. He will bring the bull before the Lord at the entrance to the meeting tent and press his hand on the bull’s head. Then he will slaughter the bull before the Lord.
5. The anointed priest will take some of the bull’s blood and take it into the meeting tent.
6. The priest will dip his finger into the blood and sprinkle some of it seven times before the Lord, toward the sanctuary’s inner curtain.
7. Then the priest will put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of perfumed incense, which is in the meeting tent before the Lord. But he will pour out all the rest of the bull’s blood at the base of the altar of entirely burned offerings, which is at the meeting tent’s entrance.
8. Then he will remove all the fat from the bull for the purification offering: the fat that covers and surrounds the insides;
9. the two kidneys and the fat around them at the loins; and the lobe on the liver, which he will remove with the kidneys,
10. just as this is removed from the ox for the communal sacrifice of well-being. Then the priest will completely burn these on the altar of entirely burned offerings.
11. But the bull’s hide and all of its flesh, along with its head, lower legs, entrails, and dung—
12. all that remains of the bull—will be taken to a clean location outside the camp, to the ash heap. It should be burned there at the ash heap on a wood fire.
13. If it is the entire Israelite community that has done something wrong unintentionally and the deed escapes the assembly’s notice—but they’ve done something that shouldn’t be done in violation of the Lord’s commands, becoming guilty of sin—
14. once the sin that they committed becomes known, the assembly must present a bull from the herd as a purification offering. They will bring it before the meeting tent.
15. The community elders will press their hands on the bull’s head before the Lord and then slaughter it before the Lord.
16. The anointed priest will take some of the bull’s blood into the meeting tent.
