The Lord told Moses to offer a sacrifice, asking for forgiveness when you sin by accidentally doing something I have told you not to do (vv. 1-2). When the high priest sins, he makes everyone else guilty (v.3). He must sacrifice a young bull that is perfect (v. 4). The priest will lead the bull to the entrance of the sacred tent, lay his hand on its head, and kill it there (v. 5). He will take a bowl of the blood inside the tent (v. 6), and sprinkle some of it seven times on the sacred chest behind the curtain (v. 7). Then he will put blood on the four corners of the incense altar, before pouring out the rest at the foot of the bronze altar. The priest will remove the fat from the bull. This includes the lower part of the liver and the two kidneys. He will then send it all up in smoke (vv. 8-10). The skin and flesh of the bull, together with its legs, insides, and the food still in its stomach, are to be taken outside the camp and burned on a wood fire near the ash heap (vv.11-12).
The Lord said: When the nation of Israel disobeys me without meaning to, the whole nation is still guilty (v. 13). Once you realize what has happened, you must sacrifice a young bull to ask my forgiveness (v. 14).
The nation must go through the same procedure as the high priest did when he sinned and the priest will respond in the same way (vv. 15-21). By this sacrifice the sin of the whole nation will be forgiven.
