1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
1 Y HABLÓ Jehová á Moisés, diciendo:
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, When a person sins through ignorance against any of the commands of YHWH [regarding things] which are not to be done, and has done [something] against one of these—
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;
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘If anyone sins unintentionally, in any of the things which Yahweh has commanded not to be done, and does any one of them,
3 if the priest who is anointed sins according to the guilt of the people, then he has brought near for his sin which he has sinned a bullock, a son of the herd, a perfect one, to YHWH, for a sin-offering,
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.
3 if the anointed priest sins so as to bring guilt on the people, then let him offer for his sin which he has sinned a young bull without defect to Yahweh for a sin offering.
4 and he has brought in the bullock to the opening of the Tent of Meeting before YHWH, and has laid his hand on the head of the bullock, and has slaughtered the bullock before YHWH.
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.
4 He shall bring the bull to the door of the Tent of Meeting before Yahweh; and he shall lay his hand on the head of the bull, and kill the bull before Yahweh.
5 And the priest who is anointed has taken of the blood of the bullock, and has brought it into the Tent of Meeting,
5 Y el sacerdote ungido tomará de la sangre del becerro, y la traerá al tabernáculo del testimonio;
5 The anointed priest shall take some of the blood of the bull, and bring it to the Tent of Meeting.
6 and the priest has dipped his finger in the blood, and sprinkled of the blood seven times before YHWH, at the front of the veil of the holy place;
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.
6 The priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle some of the blood seven times before Yahweh, before the veil of the sanctuary.
7 and the priest has put of the blood on the horns of the altar of spice-incense before YHWH, which [is] in the Tent of Meeting, and he pours out all the blood of the bullock at the foundation of the altar of the burnt-offering, which [is] at the opening of 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.
7 The priest shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of sweet incense before Yahweh, which is in the Tent of Meeting; and he shall pour out the rest of the blood of the bull at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
8 And he lifts up from it all the fat of the bullock of the sin-offering, the fat which is covering over the innards, and all the fat which [is] on the innards,
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,
8 He shall take all the fat of the bull of the sin offering from it: the fat that covers the innards, and all the fat that is on the innards,
9 and the two kidneys, and the fat which [is] on them, which [is] on the flanks, and the redundance on the liver above the kidneys—he turns it aside,
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,
9 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys, he shall remove,
10 as it is lifted up from the ox of the sacrifice of the peace-offerings; and the priest has made them an incense on the altar of the 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.
10 as it is removed from the bull of the sacrifice of peace offerings. The priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering.
11 And the skin of the bullock, and all its flesh, with its head, and with its legs, and its innards, and its dung—
11 Y el cuero del becerro, y toda su carne, con su cabeza, y sus piernas, y sus intestinos, y su estiércol,
11 He shall carry the bull’s skin, all its meat, with its head, and with its legs, its innards, and its dung
12 he has even brought out the whole bullock to the outside of the camp, to a clean place, to the place of the pouring out of the ashes, and he has burned it on the wood with fire; it is burned beside the place of the pouring out of the ashes.
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.
12 —all the rest of the bull—outside of the camp to a clean place where the ashes are poured out, and burn it on wood with fire. It shall be burned where the ashes are poured out.
13 And if all the congregation of Israel errs ignorantly, and the thing has been hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done [something against] one of all the commands of YHWH [regarding things] which are not to be done, and have been guilty;
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;
13 “‘If the whole congregation of Israel sins, and the thing is hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done any of the things which Yahweh has commanded not to be done, and are guilty;
14 when the sin which they have sinned concerning it has been known, then the assembly has brought a bullock near, a son of the herd, for a sin-offering, and they have brought it in 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.
14 when the sin in which they have sinned is known, then the assembly shall offer a young bull for a sin offering, and bring it before the Tent of Meeting.
15 and the elderly of the congregation have laid their hands on the head of the bullock, before YHWH, and [one] has slaughtered the bullock before YHWH.
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.
15 The elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the bull before Yahweh; and the bull shall be killed before Yahweh.
16 And the priest who is anointed has brought in of the blood of the bullock to the Tent of Meeting,
16 Y el sacerdote ungido meterá de la sangre del becerro en el tabernáculo del testimonio:
16 The anointed priest shall bring some of the blood of the bull to the Tent of Meeting.
17 and the priest has dipped his finger in the blood, and has sprinkled seven times before YHWH at the 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.
17 The priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before Yahweh, before the veil.
18 and he puts [some] of the blood on the horns of the altar which [is] before YHWH, which [is] in the Tent of Meeting; and he pours out all the blood at the foundation of the altar of the burnt-offering, which [is] at the opening of 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.
18 He shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar which is before Yahweh, that is in the Tent of Meeting; and the rest of the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
19 and he lifts up all its fat from it, and has made incense on the altar.
19 Y le quitará todo el sebo, y harálo arder sobre el altar.
19 All its fat he shall take from it, and burn it on the altar.
20 And he has done to the bullock as he has done to the bullock of the sin-offering, so he does to it; and the priest has made atonement for them, and it has been forgiven them;
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.
20 He shall do this with the bull; as he did with the bull of the sin offering, so he shall do with this; and the priest shall make atonement for them, and they shall be forgiven.
21 and he has brought out the bullock to the outside of the camp, and has burned it as he has burned the first bullock; it [is] a sin-offering of the assembly.
21 Y sacará el becerro fuera del campamento, y lo quemará como quemó el primer becerro; expiación de la congregación.
21 He shall carry the bull outside the camp, and burn it as he burned the first bull. It is the sin offering for the assembly.
22 When a prince sins, and has done [something against] one of all the commands of his God YHWH [regarding things] which are not to be done, through ignorance, and has been guilty,
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;
22 “‘When a ruler sins, and unwittingly does any one of all the things which Yahweh his God has commanded not to be done, and is guilty,
23 or his sin wherein he has sinned has been made known to him, then he has brought in his offering, a kid of the goats, a male, a perfect one,
23 Luego que le fuere conocido su pecado en que ha delinquido, presentará por su ofrenda un macho cabrío sin defecto;
23 if his sin in which he has sinned is made known to him, he shall bring as his offering a goat, a male without defect.
24 and he has laid his hand on the head of the goat, and has slaughtered it in the place where he slaughters the burnt-offering before YHWH; 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.
24 He shall lay his hand on the head of the goat, and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before Yahweh. It is a sin offering.
25 And the priest has taken of the blood of the sin-offering with his finger, and has put [it] on the horns of the altar of the burnt-offering, and he pours out its blood at the foundation of the altar of the burnt-offering,
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:
25 The priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering. He shall pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering.
26 and he makes incense on the altar with all its fat, as the fat of the sacrifice of the peace-offerings; and the priest has made atonement for him because of his sin, and it has been forgiven him.
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.
26 All its fat he shall burn on the altar, like the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin, and he will be forgiven.
27 And if any person of the people of the land sins through ignorance, by his doing [something against] one of the commands of YHWH [regarding things] which are not to be done, and has been guilty,
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;
27 “‘If anyone of the common people sins unwittingly, in doing any of the things which Yahweh has commanded not to be done, and is guilty,
28 or his sin which he has sinned has been made known to him, then he has brought in his offering, a kid of the goats, a perfect one, a female, for his sin which he has sinned,
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:
28 if his sin which he has sinned is made known to him, then he shall bring for his offering a goat, a female without defect, for his sin which he has sinned.
29 and he has laid his hand on the head of the sin-offering, and has slaughtered the sin-offering in 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.
29 He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and kill the sin offering in the place of burnt offering.
30 And the priest has taken of its blood with his finger, and has put [it] on the horns of the altar of the burnt-offering, and he pours out all its blood at the foundation 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:
30 The priest shall take some of its blood with his finger, and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering; and the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar.
31 and he turns aside all its fat, as the fat has been turned aside from off the sacrifice of the peace-offerings, and the priest has made incense on the altar for refreshing fragrance to YHWH; and the priest has made atonement for him, and it has been forgiven him.
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.
31 All its fat he shall take away, like the fat is taken away from the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn it on the altar for a pleasant aroma to Yahweh; and the priest shall make atonement for him, and he will be forgiven.
32 And if he brings in a sheep [for] his offering, a female for a sin-offering, he brings in a perfect one,
32 Y si trajere cordero para su ofrenda por el pecado, hembra sin defecto traerá:
32 “‘If he brings a lamb as his offering for a sin offering, he shall bring a female without defect.
33 and he has laid his hand on the head of the sin-offering, and has slaughtered it for a sin-offering in the place where he slaughters the burnt-offering.
33 Y pondrá su mano sobre la cabeza de la expiación, y la degollará por expiación en el lugar donde se degüella el holocausto.
33 He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and kill it for a sin offering in the place where they kill the burnt offering.
34 And the priest has taken of the blood of the sin-offering with his finger, and has put [it] on the horns of the altar of the burnt-offering, and he pours out all its blood at the foundation 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:
34 The priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering; and all the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar.
35 and he turns aside all its fat, as the fat of the sheep is turned aside from the sacrifice of the peace-offerings, and the priest has made them an incense on the altar, according to the fire-offerings of YHWH, and the priest has made atonement for him, for his sin which he has sinned, and it has been forgiven him.”
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.
35 He shall remove all its fat, like the fat of the lamb is removed from the sacrifice of peace offerings. The priest shall burn them on the altar, on the offerings of Yahweh made by fire. The priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin that he has sinned, and he will be forgiven.

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 …
