1 Then the LORD said to Moses,
1 Y HABLÓ Jehová á Moisés, diciendo:
2 “Tell the Israelites to do as follows with one who sins unintentionally against any of the LORD’s commandments and does what is forbidden by them:
2 Habla á los hijos de Israel, diciendo: Cuando alguna persona pecare por yerro en alguno de los mandamientos de Jehová sobre cosas que no se han de hacer, y obrare contra alguno de ellos;
3 If the anointed priest sins, bringing guilt on the people, he must bring to the LORD a young bull without blemish as a sin offering for the sin he has committed.
3 Si sacerdote ungido pecare según el pecado del pueblo, ofrecerá á Jehová, por su pecado que habrá cometido, un becerro sin tacha para expiación.
4 He must bring the bull to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting before the LORD, lay his hand on the bull’s head, and slaughter it before the LORD.
4 Y traerá el becerro á la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio delante de Jehová, y pondrá su mano sobre la cabeza del becerro, y lo degollará delante de Jehová.
5 Then the anointed priest shall take some of the bull’s blood and bring it into the Tent of Meeting.
5 Y el sacerdote ungido tomará de la sangre del becerro, y la traerá al tabernáculo del testimonio;
6 The priest is to dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle some of it seven times before the LORD, in front of the veil of the sanctuary.
6 Y mojará el sacerdote su dedo en la sangre, y rociará de aquella sangre siete veces delante de Jehová, hacia el velo del santuario.
7 The priest must then put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of fragrant incense that is before the LORD in the Tent of Meeting. And he is to pour out the rest of the bull’s blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
7 Y pondrá el sacerdote de la sangre sobre los cuernos del altar del perfume aromático, que está en el tabernáculo del testimonio delante de Jehová: y echará toda la sangre del becerro al pie del altar del holocausto, que está á la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio.
8 Then he shall remove all the fat from the bull of the sin offering—the fat that covers the entrails, all the fat that is on them,
8 Y tomará del becerro para la expiación todo su sebo, el sebo que cubre los intestinos, y todo el sebo que está sobre las entrañas,
9 both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which he is to remove with the kidneys—
9 Y los dos riñones, y el sebo que está sobre ellos, y el que está sobre los ijares, y con los riñones quitará el redaño de sobre el hígado,
10 just as the fat is removed from the ox of the peace offering. Then the priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering.
10 De la manera que se quita del buey del sacrificio de las paces: y el sacerdote lo hará arder sobre el altar del holocausto.
11 But the hide of the bull and all its flesh, with its head and legs and its entrails and dung—
11 Y el cuero del becerro, y toda su carne, con su cabeza, y sus piernas, y sus intestinos, y su estiércol,
12 all the rest of the bull—he must take outside the camp to a ceremonially clean place where the ashes are poured out, and there he must burn it on a wood fire on the ash heap.
12 En fin, todo el becerro sacará fuera del campo, á un lugar limpio, donde se echan las cenizas, y lo quemará al fuego sobre la leña: en donde se echan las cenizas será quemado.
13 Now if the whole congregation of Israel strays unintentionally and the matter escapes the notice of the assembly so that they violate any of the LORD’s commandments and incur guilt by doing what is forbidden,
13 Y si toda la congregación de Israel hubiere errado, y el negocio estuviere oculto á los ojos del pueblo, y hubieren hecho algo contra alguno de los mandamientos de Jehová en cosas que no se han de hacer, y fueren culpables;
14 when they become aware of the sin they have committed, then the assembly must bring a young bull as a sin offering and present it before the Tent of Meeting.
14 Luego que fuere entendido el pecado sobre que delinquieron, la congregación ofrecerá un becerro por expiación, y lo traerán delante del tabernáculo del testimonio.
15 The elders of the congregation are to lay their hands on the bull’s head before the LORD, and it shall be slaughtered before the LORD.
15 Y los ancianos de la congregación pondrán sus manos sobre la cabeza del becerro delante de Jehová; y en presencia de Jehová degollarán aquel becerro.
16 Then the anointed priest is to bring some of the bull’s blood into the Tent of Meeting,
16 Y el sacerdote ungido meterá de la sangre del becerro en el tabernáculo del testimonio:
17 and he is to dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD in front of the veil.
17 Y mojará el sacerdote su dedo en la misma sangre, y rociará siete veces delante de Jehová hacia el velo.
18 He is also to put some of the blood on the horns of the altar that is before the LORD in the Tent of Meeting, and he must pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
18 Y de aquella sangre pondrá sobre los cuernos del altar que está delante de Jehová en el tabernáculo del testimonio, y derramará toda la sangre al pie del altar del holocausto, que está á la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio.
19 And he is to remove all the fat from it and burn it on the altar.
19 Y le quitará todo el sebo, y harálo arder sobre el altar.
20 He shall offer this bull just as he did the bull for the sin offering; in this way the priest will make atonement on their behalf, and they will be forgiven.
20 Y hará de aquel becerro como hizo con el becerro de la expiación; lo mismo hará de él: así hará el sacerdote expiación por ellos, y obtendrán perdón.
21 Then he is to take the bull outside the camp and burn it, just as he burned the first bull. It is the sin offering for the assembly.
21 Y sacará el becerro fuera del campamento, y lo quemará como quemó el primer becerro; expiación de la congregación.
22 When a leader sins unintentionally and does what is prohibited by any of the commandments of the LORD his God, he incurs guilt.
22 Y cuando pecare el príncipe, é hiciere por yerro algo contra alguno de todos los mandamientos de Jehová su Dios, sobre cosas que no se han de hacer, y pecare;
23 When he becomes aware of the sin he has committed, he must bring an unblemished male goat as his offering.
23 Luego que le fuere conocido su pecado en que ha delinquido, presentará por su ofrenda un macho cabrío sin defecto;
24 He is to lay his hand on the head of the goat and slaughter it at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered before the LORD. It is a sin offering.
24 Y pondrá su mano sobre la cabeza del macho cabrío, y lo degollará en el lugar donde se degüella el holocausto delante de Jehová; es expiación.
25 Then the priest is to take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.
25 Y tomará el sacerdote con su dedo de la sangre de la expiación, y pondrá sobre los cuernos del altar del holocausto, y derramará la sangre al pie del altar del holocausto:
26 He must burn all its fat on the altar, like the fat of the peace offerings; thus the priest will make atonement for that man’s sin, and he will be forgiven.
26 Y quemará todo su sebo sobre el altar, como el sebo del sacrificio de las paces: así hará el sacerdote por él la expiación de su pecado, y tendrá perdón.
27 And if one of the common people sins unintentionally and does what is prohibited by any of the LORD’s commandments, he incurs guilt.
27 Y si alguna persona del común del pueblo pecare por yerro, haciendo algo contra alguno de los mandamientos de Jehová en cosas que no se han de hacer, y delinquiere;
28 When he becomes aware of the sin he has committed, he must bring an unblemished female goat as his offering for that sin.
28 Luego que le fuere conocido su pecado que cometió, traerá por su ofrenda una hembra de las cabras, una cabra sin defecto, por su pecado que habrá cometido:
29 He is to lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it at the place of the burnt offering.
29 Y pondrá su mano sobre la cabeza de la expiación, y la degollará en el lugar del holocausto.
30 Then the priest is to take some of its blood with his finger, put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.
30 Luego tomará el sacerdote en su dedo de su sangre, y pondrá sobre los cuernos del altar del holocausto, y derramará toda su sangre al pie del altar:
31 Then he is to remove all the fat, just as it is removed from the peace offering, and the priest is to burn it on the altar as a pleasing aroma to the LORD. In this way the priest will make atonement for him, and he will be forgiven.
31 Y le quitará todo su sebo, de la manera que fué quitado el sebo del sacrificio de las paces; y el sacerdote lo hará arder sobre el altar en olor de suavidad á Jehová: así hará el sacerdote expiación por él, y será perdonado.
32 If, however, he brings a lamb as a sin offering, he must bring an unblemished female.
32 Y si trajere cordero para su ofrenda por el pecado, hembra sin defecto traerá:
33 And he is to lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it as a sin offering at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered.
33 Y pondrá su mano sobre la cabeza de la expiación, y la degollará por expiación en el lugar donde se degüella el holocausto.
34 Then the priest is to take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar.
34 Después tomará el sacerdote con su dedo de la sangre de la expiación, y pondrá sobre los cuernos del altar del holocausto; y derramará toda la sangre al pie del altar:
35 And he shall remove all the fat, just as the fat of the lamb is removed from the peace offerings, and he shall burn it on the altar along with the offerings made by fire to the LORD. In this way the priest will make atonement for him for the sin he has committed, and he will be forgiven.
35 Y le quitará todo su sebo, como fué quitado el sebo del sacrificio de las paces, y harálo el sacerdote arder en el altar sobre la ofrenda encendida á Jehová: y le hará el sacerdote expiación de su pecado que habrá cometido, y será perdonado.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… was offered for sin, a ram, anything; the victim itself which was offered for sin was called "sin." A sacrifice for sin then was called "sin;" so that in one place the Law says, "That the Priests are to lay their hands upon the sin." "Him" then, "who knew no sin, He made sin for us;" that is, "He was …
