Let him do with the ox as he did with the ox of the sin-offering; and the priest will take away their sin and they will have forgiveness.

If anyone becomes unclean through touching unconsciously some unclean thing, such as the dead body of an unclean beast or of unclean cattle or of any unclean animal which goes flat on the earth, he will be responsible:

Let him come to the priest with a sheep, a male without any mark out of the flock, of the value fixed by you, as an offering for his error; and the priest will take away the sin which he did in error, and he will have forgiveness.

And Moses did as the Lord said, and all the people came together at the door of the Tent of meeting.

He put the coat on him, making it tight with its band, and then the robe, and over it the ephod, with its band of needlework to keep it in place.

And Aaron and his sons did all the things about which the Lord had given orders through Moses.

And do not go out from the door of the Tent of meeting, or death will come to you; for the holy oil of the Lord is on you. And they did as Moses said.

Why did you not make a meal of the sin-offering in the holy place? For it is most holy and he has given it to you, so that the sin of the people may be put on it, to take away their sin before the Lord.

And Aaron said to Moses, You have seen that today they have made their sin-offering and their burned offering before the Lord, and such things as these have come on me. If I had taken the sin-offering as food today, would it have been pleasing to the Lord?

Their flesh may not be used for food, and their dead bodies may not even be touched; they are unclean to you.

They may not be used for food, and their dead bodies are disgusting to you.

By these you will be made unclean; anyone touching their dead bodies will be unclean till evening:

Whoever takes away the dead body of one of them is to have his clothing washed, and will be unclean till evening.

Any four-footed beast which goes on the ball of its foot, is unclean to you: anyone touching the dead body of one of these will be unclean till evening.

Anyone who takes away the dead body of one of these is to have his clothing washed and be unclean till evening.

All these are unclean to you: anyone touching them when they are dead will be unclean till evening.

The dead body of any of these, falling on anything, will make that thing unclean; if it is any vessel of wood, or clothing, or skin, or bag, whatever it is, if it is used for any purpose, it will have to be put into water, and will be unclean till evening; after that it will be clean.

Any part of the dead body of one of these, falling on anything, will make it unclean; if it is an oven or a cooking-pot it will have to be broken: they are unclean and will be unclean to you.

But at the same time a fountain or a place where water is stored for use will be clean; but anyone touching their dead bodies will be unclean.

If any part of the dead body of one of these gets on to any seed for planting, it is clean;

But if water is put on the seed, and any part of the dead body gets on to it, it will be unclean to you.

And if any beast which may be used for food comes to a natural death, anyone touching its dead body will be unclean till evening.

And take the cedar-wood and the hyssop and the red thread and the living bird and put them in the blood of the dead bird and in the flowing water, shaking it over the house seven times.

Then let him put to death the goat of the sin-offering for the people, and take its blood inside the veil and do with it as he did with the blood of the ox, shaking drops of it on and before the cover of the ark.

And let this be an order for ever for you, so that the sin of the children of Israel may be taken away once every year. And he did as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

You may not make cuts in your flesh in respect for the dead, or have marks printed on your bodies: I am the Lord.

And do not keep the rules of the nations which I am driving out before you; for they did all these things, and for that reason my soul was turned against them.

And the Lord said to Moses, Say to the priests, the sons of Aaron, Let no man make himself unclean for the dead among his people;

They are not to have their hair cut off for the dead, or the hair on their chins cut short, or make cuts in their flesh.

He may not go near any dead body or make himself unclean for his father or his mother;

No man of the seed of Aaron who is a leper, or who has a flow from his body, may take of the holy food till he is clean. And any man touching anything which is unclean because of the dead, or any man whose seed goes from him;

And Moses said these words to the children of Israel, and they took the man who had been cursing outside the tent-circle and had him stoned. The children of Israel did as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

And I will send destruction on your high places, overturning your perfume altars, and will put your dead bodies on your broken images, and my soul will be turned from you in disgust.
