Sin Offerings

4¹ And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, ² 'Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, When a person doth sin through ignorance against any of the commands of Jehovah 'regarding things' which are not to be done, and hath done 'something' against one of these— ³ 'If the priest who is anointed doth sin according to the guilt of the people, then he hath brought near for his sin which he hath sinned a bullock, a son of the herd, a perfect one, to Jehovah, for a sin-offering, ⁴ and he hath brought in the bullock unto the opening of the tent of meeting before Jehovah, and hath laid his hand on the head of the bullock, and hath slaughtered the bullock before Jehovah. ⁵ 'And the priest who is anointed hath taken of the blood of the bullock, and hath brought it in unto the tent of meeting, ⁶ and the priest hath dipped his finger in the blood, and sprinkled of the blood seven times before Jehovah, at the front of the vail of the sanctuary; ⁷ and the priest hath put of the blood on the horns of the altar of spice-perfume before Jehovah, which 'is' in the tent of meeting, and all the blood of the bullock he doth pour out at the foundation of the altar of the burnt-offering, which 'is' at the opening of the tent of meeting. ⁸ 'And all the fat of the bullock of the sin-offering he doth lift up from it, the fat which is covering over the inwards, and all the fat which 'is' on the inwards, ⁹ and the two kidneys, and the fat which 'is' on them, which 'is' on the flanks, and the redundance above the liver, (beside the kidneys he doth turn it aside), ¹⁰ as it is lifted up from the ox of the sacrifice of the peace-offerings; and the priest hath made them a perfume on the altar of the burnt-offering. ¹¹ 'And the skin of the bullock, and all its flesh, besides its head, and besides its legs, and its inwards, and its dung— ¹² he hath even brought out the whole bullock unto the outside of the camp, unto a clean place, unto the place of the pouring out of the ashes, and he hath burnt it on the wood with fire; beside the place of the pouring out of the ashes it is burnt.

¹³ 'And if the whole company of Israel err ignorantly, and the thing hath been hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done 'something against' one of all the commands of Jehovah 'concerning things' which are not to be done, and have been guilty; ¹⁴ when the sin which they have sinned concerning it hath been known, then have the assembly brought near a bullock, a son of the herd, for a sin-offering, and they have brought it in before the tent of meeting; ¹⁵ and the elders of the company have laid their hands on the head of the bullock, before Jehovah, and 'one' hath slaughtered the bullock before Jehovah. ¹⁶ 'And the priest who is anointed hath brought in of the blood of the bullock unto the tent of meeting, ¹⁷ and the priest hath dipped his finger in the blood, and hath sprinkled seven times before Jehovah at the front of the vail, ¹⁸ and 'some' of the blood he doth put on the horns of the altar which 'is' before Jehovah, which 'is' in the tent of meeting; and all the blood he doth pour out at the foundation of the altar of the burnt-offering, which 'is' at the opening of the tent of meeting; ¹⁹ and all its fat he doth lift up from it, and hath made perfume on the altar. ²⁰ 'And he hath done to the bullock as he hath done to the bullock of the sin-offering, so he doth to it; and the priest hath made atonement for them, and it hath been forgiven them; ²¹ and he hath brought out the bullock unto the outside of the camp, and hath burned it as he hath burned the first bullock; it 'is' a sin-offering of the assembly.

²² 'When a prince doth sin, and hath done 'something against' one of all the commands of Jehovah his God 'regarding things' which are not to be done, through ignorance, and hath been guilty— ²³ or his sin wherein he hath sinned hath been made known unto him, then he hath brought in his offering, a kid of the goats, a male, a perfect one, ²⁴ and he hath laid his hand on the head of the goat, and hath slaughtered it in the place where he doth slaughter the burnt-offering before Jehovah; it 'is' a sin-offering. ²⁵ 'And the priest hath taken of the blood of the sin-offering with his finger, and hath put on the horns of the altar of the burnt-offering, and its blood he doth pour out at the foundation of the altar of the burnt-offering, ²⁶ and with all its fat he doth make perfume on the altar, as the fat of the sacrifice of the peace-offerings; and the priest hath made atonement for him because of his sin, and it hath been forgiven him.

²⁷ 'And if any person of the people of the land sin through ignorance, by his doing 'something against' one of the commands of Jehovah 'regarding things' which are not to be done, and hath been guilty— ²⁸ or his sin which he hath sinned hath been made known unto him, then he hath brought in his offering, a kid of the goats, a perfect one, a female, for his sin which he hath sinned, ²⁹ and he hath laid his hand on the head of the sin-offering, and hath slaughtered the sin-offering in the place of the burnt-offering. ³⁰ 'And the priest hath taken of its blood with his finger, and hath put on the horns of the altar of the burnt-offering, and all its blood he doth pour out at the foundation of the altar, ³¹ and all its fat he doth turn aside, as the fat hath been turned aside from off the sacrifice of the peace-offerings, and the priest hath made perfume on the altar, for sweet fragrance to Jehovah; and the priest hath made atonement for him, and it hath been forgiven him. ³² 'And if he bring in a sheep 'for' his offering, for a sin-offering, a female, a perfect one, he doth bring in, ³³ and he hath laid his hand on the head of the sin-offering, and hath slaughtered it for a sin-offering in the place where he slaughtereth the burnt-offering. ³⁴ 'And the priest hath taken of the blood of the sin-offering with his finger, and hath put on the horns of the altar of the burnt-offering, and all its blood he poureth out at the foundation of the altar, ³⁵ and all its fat he turneth aside, as the fat of the sheep is turned aside from the sacrifice of the peace-offerings, and the priest hath made them a perfume on the altar, according to the fire-offerings of Jehovah, and the priest hath made atonement for him, for his sin which he hath sinned, and it hath been forgiven him.

5¹ 'And when a person doth sin, and hath heard the voice of an oath, and he 'is' witness, or hath seen, or hath known—if he declare not, then he hath borne his iniquity: ² 'Or when a person cometh against any thing unclean, or against a carcase of an unclean beast, or against a carcase of unclean cattle, or against a carcase of an unclean teeming creature, and it hath been hidden from him, and he unclean, and guilty; ³ 'Or when he cometh against uncleanness of man, even any of his uncleanness whereby he is unclean, and it hath been hidden from him, and he hath known, and hath been guilty: ⁴ 'Or when a person sweareth, speaking wrongfully with the lips to do evil, or to do good, even anything which man speaketh wrongfully with an oath, and it hath been hid from him;—when he hath known then he hath been guilty of one of these; ⁵ 'And it hath been when he is guilty of one of these, that he hath confessed concerning that which he hath sinned, ⁶ and hath brought in his guilt-offering to Jehovah for his sin which he hath sinned, a female out of the flock, a lamb, or a kid of the goats, for a sin-offering, and the priest hath made atonement for him, because of his sin.

⁷ 'And if his hand reach not to the sufficiency of a lamb, then he hath brought in his guilt-offering—he who hath sinned—two turtle-doves or two young pigeons to Jehovah, one for a sin-offering, and one for a burnt-offering; ⁸ and he hath brought them in unto the priest, and hath brought near that which 'is' for a sin-offering first, and hath wrung off its head from its neck, and doth not separate 'it', ⁹ and he hath sprinkled of the blood of the sin-offering on the side of the altar, and that which is left of the blood is wrung out at the foundation of the altar; it 'is' a sin-offering. ¹⁰ 'And the second he maketh a burnt-offering, according to the ordinance, and the priest hath made atonement for him, because of his sin which he hath sinned, and it hath been forgiven him. ¹¹ 'And if his hand reach not to two turtle-doves, or to two young pigeons, then he hath brought in his offering—he who hath sinned—a tenth of an ephah of flour for a sin-offering; he putteth no oil on it, nor doth he put on it frankincense, for it 'is' a sin-offering, ¹² and he hath brought it in unto the priest, and the priest hath taken a handful from it—the fulness of his hand—its memorial—and hath made perfume on the altar, according to the fire-offerings of Jehovah; it 'is' a sin-offering. ¹³ 'And the priest hath made atonement for him, for his sin which he hath sinned against one of these, and it hath been forgiven him, and 'the remnant' hath been to the priest, like the present.'

Trespass Offerings

¹⁴ And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, ¹⁵ 'When a person committeth a trespass, and hath sinned through ignorance against the holy things of Jehovah, then he hath brought in his guilt-offering to Jehovah, a ram, a perfect one, out of the flock, at thy valuation 'in' silver—shekels by the shekel of the sanctuary—for a guilt-offering. ¹⁶ 'And that which he hath sinned against the holy thing he repayeth, and its fifth is adding to it, and hath given it to the priest, and the priest maketh atonement for him with the ram of the guilt-offering, and it hath been forgiven him. ¹⁷ 'And when any person sinneth, and hath done 'something against' one of all the commands of Jehovah 'regarding things' which are not to be done, and hath not known, and he hath been guilty, and hath borne his iniquity, ¹⁸ 'Then he hath brought in a ram, a perfect one, out of the flock, at thy valuation, for a guilt-offering, unto the priest; and the priest hath made atonement for him, for his ignorance in which he hath erred and he hath not known, and it hath been forgiven him; ¹⁹ it 'is' a guilt-offering; he hath been certainly guilty before Jehovah.'

The Coming of the Son of Man

²⁹ 'And immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from the heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken; ³⁰ and then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in the heaven; and then shall all the tribes of the earth smite the breast, and they shall see the Son of Man coming upon the clouds of the heaven, with power and much glory; ³¹ and he shall send his messengers with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his chosen from the four winds, from the ends of the heavens unto the ends thereof.

³² 'And from the fig-tree learn ye the simile: When already its branch may have become tender, and the leaves it may put forth, ye know that summer 'is' nigh, ³³ so also ye, when ye may see all these, ye know that it is nigh—at the doors. ³⁴ Verily I say to you, this generation may not pass away till all these may come to pass. ³⁵ The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

No Man Knoweth the Day and Hour

³⁶ 'And concerning that day and the hour no one hath known—not even the messengers of the heavens—except my Father only; ³⁷ and as the days of Noah—so shall be also the presence of the Son of Man; ³⁸ for as they were, in the days before the flood, eating, and drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage, till the day Noah entered into the ark, ³⁹ and they did not know till the flood came and took all away; so shall be also the presence of the Son of Man. ⁴⁰ Then two men shall be in the field, the one is received, and the one is left; ⁴¹ two women shall be grinding in the mill, one is received, and one is left. ⁴² 'Watch ye therefore, because ye have not known in what hour your Lord doth come; ⁴³ and this know, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief doth come, he had watched, and not suffered his house to be broken through; ⁴⁴ because of this also ye, become ye ready, because in what hour ye do not think, the Son of Man doth come.

The Unfaithful Servant

⁴⁵ 'Who, then, is the servant, faithful and wise, whom his lord did set over his household, to give them the nourishment in season? ⁴⁶ Happy that servant, whom his lord, having come, shall find doing so; ⁴⁷ verily I say to you, that over all his substance he will set him. ⁴⁸ 'And, if that evil servant may say in his heart, My Lord doth delay to come, ⁴⁹ and may begin to beat the fellow-servants, and to eat and to drink with the drunken, ⁵⁰ the lord of that servant will arrive in a day when he doth not expect, and in an hour of which he doth not know, ⁵¹ and will cut him off, and his portion with the hypocrites will appoint; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.
