Chapter 4 of Leviticus—New American Standard Bible (NASB)

  1. ¶ Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
  2. “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘If a person sins 1unintentionally in any of the [a]things which the LORD has 2commanded not to be done, and commits any of them,
  3. 3if the anointed priest sins so as to bring guilt on the people, then let him offer to the LORD a [b]bull without defect as a sin offering for the sin he has [c]committed.
  4. He shall bring the bull to the doorway of the tent of meeting before the LORD, and 4he shall lay his hand on the head of the bull and slay the bull before the LORD.
  5. Then the 5anointed priest is to take some of the blood of the bull and bring it to the tent of meeting,
  6. and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle some of the blood seven times before the LORD, in front of 6the veil of the sanctuary.
  7. The priest shall also put some of the blood on the horns of 7the altar of fragrant incense which is before the LORD in the tent of meeting; and all the blood of the bull he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering which is at the doorway of the tent of meeting.
  8. 8He shall remove from it all the fat of the bull of the sin offering: the fat that covers the entrails, and all the fat which is on the entrails,
  9. and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them, which is on the loins, and the [d]lobe of the liver, which he shall remove 9with the kidneys
  10. (just as it is removed from the ox of the sacrifice of peace offerings), and the priest is to offer them up in smoke on the altar of burnt offering.
  11. But 10the hide of the bull and all its flesh with its head and its legs and its entrails and its refuse,
  12. [e]that is, all the rest of the bull, he is to bring out to 11a clean place outside the camp where the [f]ashes are poured out, and burn it on wood with fire; where the [g]ashes are poured out it shall be burned.
  13. ¶ ‘12Now if the whole congregation of Israel commits error and the matter [h]escapes the notice of the assembly, and they commit any of the [i]things which the LORD has commanded not to be done, and they become guilty;
  14. 13when the sin [j]which they have [k]committed becomes known, then the assembly shall offer 14a [l]bull of the herd for a sin offering and bring it before the tent of meeting.
  15. Then 15the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the bull before the LORD, and the bull shall be slain 16before the LORD.
  16. Then the anointed priest is to bring some of the blood of the bull to the tent of meeting;
  17. and 17the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD, in front of the veil.
  18. He shall put some of the blood on the horns of 18the altar which is before the LORD [m]in the tent of meeting; and all the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering which is at the doorway of the tent of meeting.
  19. 19He shall remove all its fat from it and offer it up in smoke on the altar.
  20. He shall also do with the bull just as he did with 20the bull of the sin offering; thus he shall do with it. So 21the priest shall make atonement for them, and they will be forgiven.
  21. Then he is to bring out the bull to a place outside the camp and burn it as he burned the first bull; it is 22the sin offering for the assembly.
  22. ¶ ‘When 23a leader 24sins and unintentionally does any one of all the [n]things which the LORD his God has commanded not to be done, and he becomes guilty,
  23. [o]25if his sin [p]which he has committed is made known to him, he shall bring for his offering a [q]26goat, 27a male without defect.
  24. He shall lay his hand on the head of the male goat and slay it in the place where [r]they slay the burnt offering before the LORD; it is a sin offering.
  25. Then the priest is to take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it on 28the horns of the altar of burnt offering; and the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering.
  26. 29All its fat he shall offer up in smoke on the altar as in the case of the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings. Thus 30the priest shall make atonement for him in regard to his sin, and he will be forgiven.
  27. ¶ ‘Now if [s]anyone of [t]the common people sins 31unintentionally in doing any of the [u]things which the LORD has commanded not to be done, and becomes guilty,
  28. [v]32if his sin which he has [w]committed is made known to him, then he shall bring for his offering a [x]33goat, a 34female without defect, for his sin which he has [y]committed.
  29. 35He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and 36slay the sin offering at the place of the burnt offering.
  30. The priest shall take some of its blood with his finger and put it on the horns of 37the altar of burnt offering; and 38all the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar.
  31. 39Then he shall remove all its fat, just as the fat was removed from the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall offer it up in smoke on the altar for 40a soothing aroma to the LORD. Thus the priest shall make atonement for him, [z]and he will be forgiven.
  32. ¶ ‘But if he brings 41a lamb as his offering for a sin offering, he shall bring it, a female without defect.
  33. 42He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slay it for a sin offering 43in the place where [aa]they slay the burnt offering.
  34. The priest is to take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it on the horns of 44the altar of burnt offering, and 45all the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar.
  35. Then he shall remove 46all its fat, just as the fat of the lamb is removed from the sacrifice of the peace offerings, and the priest shall offer them up in smoke on the altar, on the offerings by fire to the LORD. Thus 47the priest shall make atonement for him in regard to his sin which he has [ab]committed, and he will be forgiven.

    The NWT adds words to the text that are not in the greek Manuscripts to fit it's own doctrinal position for example

    Compare the wording of the NWT and the NKJV at Colossians 1:15-17

    NKJV says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

    NWT says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God,the firstborn OF all creation;16 because by means of him all OTHER things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible,whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All OTHER things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all OTHER things,and by means of him all OTHER things were made to exist,

    The word “other” is not in the Greek but they add it Why? So they can decieve their followers into thinking that Christ was created by the Father and that he then created other things, that is not what the Greek says.

      Truth is from God and those that follow him. As for lies? John8:44

      Kiamia, I noticed you used a modern version of kjv to make your point about the nwt.

      Why didn’t you use the original kjv of col1:15?

      Is it because it disproves your point? It proves the opposite of what you wrote?

      Here is kjv col1:15 ¶” Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn OF every creature:“

      Now I appeal to your Christian nature to correct your mistake as God is watching each of us, and let us bless the God of Jesus his father.

      Kjv 1Pe 1:3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ….

    Joshua, Jehovah’s Witnesses have never denied the deity of the Messiah in his prehuman existence. While on Earth he was fully 100% human. I do not mean he was a mere human, he was not affected by Adam’s unfaithful behavior, he was sinless.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
