1 The Lord said to Moses:
2 Tell the Israelites: When a person inadvertently does wrong by violating any one of the Lord’s prohibitions—
3 If it is the anointed priest who thus does wrong and thereby makes the people guilty, he shall offer to the Lord an unblemished bull of the herd as a purification offering for the wrong he committed.
4 Bringing the bull to the entrance of the tent of meeting, before the Lord, he shall lay his hand on its head and slaughter it before the Lord.
5 The anointed priest shall then take some of the bull’s blood and bring it into the tent of meeting,
6 where, dipping his finger in the blood, he shall sprinkle some of it seven times before the Lord, toward the veil of the sanctuary.
