¹ 耶和华对摩西说：

² 你晓谕以色列人说：若有人在耶和华所吩咐不可行的甚麽事上误犯了一件，

³ 或是受膏的祭司犯罪，使百姓陷在罪里，就当为他所犯的罪把没有残疾的公牛犊献给耶和华为赎罪祭。

⁴ 他要牵公牛到会幕门口，在耶和华面前按手在牛的头上，把牛宰於耶和华面前。

⁵ 受膏的祭司要取些公牛的血带到会幕，

⁶ 把指头蘸於血中，在耶和华面前对着圣所的幔子弹血七次，

⁷ 又要把些血抹在会幕内、耶和华面前香坛的四角上，再把公牛所有的血倒在会幕门口、燔祭坛的脚那里。

⁸ 要把赎罪祭公牛所有的脂油，乃是盖脏的脂油和脏上所有的脂油，

⁹ 并两个腰子和腰子上的脂油，就是靠腰两旁的脂油，与肝上的网子和腰子，一概取下，

¹⁰ 与平安祭公牛上所取的一样；祭司要把这些烧在燔祭的坛上。

¹¹ 公牛的皮和所有的肉，并头、腿、脏、腑、粪，

¹² 就是全公牛，要搬到营外洁净之地、倒灰之所，用火烧在柴上。

¹³ 以色列全会众若行了耶和华所吩咐不可行的甚麽事，误犯了罪，是隐而未现，会众看不出来的，

¹⁴ 会众一知道所犯的罪就要献一只公牛犊为赎罪祭，牵到会幕前。

¹⁵ 会中的长老就要在耶和华面前按手在牛的头上，将牛在耶和华面前宰了。

¹⁶ 受膏的祭司要取些公牛的血带到会幕，

¹⁷ 把指头蘸於血中，在耶和华面前对着幔子弹血七次，

¹⁸ 又要把些血抹在会幕内、耶和华面前坛的四角上，再把所有的血倒在会幕门口、燔祭坛的脚那里。

¹⁹ 把牛所有的脂油都取下，烧在坛上；

²⁰ 收拾这牛，与那赎罪祭的牛一样。祭司要为他们赎罪，他们必蒙赦免。

²¹ 他要把牛搬到营外烧了，像烧头一个牛一样；这是会众的赎罪祭。

²² 官长若行了耶和华─他神所吩咐不可行的甚麽事，误犯了罪，

²³ 所犯的罪自己知道了，就要牵一只没有残疾的公山羊为供物，

²⁴ 按手在羊的头上，宰於耶和华面前、宰燔祭牲的地方；这是赎罪祭。

²⁵ 祭司要用指头蘸些赎罪祭牲的血，抹在燔祭坛的四角上，把血倒在燔祭坛的脚那里。

²⁶ 所有的脂油，祭司都要烧在坛上，正如平安祭的脂油一样。至於他的罪，祭司要为他赎了，他必蒙赦免。

²⁷ 民中若有人行了耶和华所吩咐不可行的甚麽事，误犯了罪，

²⁸ 所犯的罪自己知道了，就要为所犯的罪牵一只没有残疾的母山羊为供物，

²⁹ 按手在赎罪祭牲的头上，在那宰燔祭牲的地方宰了。

³⁰ 祭司要用指头蘸些羊的血，抹在燔祭坛的四角上，所有的血都要倒在坛的脚那里，

³¹ 又要把羊所有的脂油都取下，正如取平安祭牲的脂油一样。祭司要在坛上焚烧，在耶和华面前作为馨香的祭，为他赎罪，他必蒙赦免。

³² 人若牵一只绵羊羔为赎罪祭的供物，必要牵一只没有残疾的母羊，

³³ 按手在赎罪祭牲的头上，在那宰燔祭牲的地方宰了作赎罪祭。

³⁴ 祭司要用指头蘸些赎罪祭牲的血，抹在燔祭坛的四角上，所有的血都要倒在坛的脚那里，

³⁵ 又要把所有的脂油都取下，正如取平安祭羊羔的脂油一样。祭司要按献给耶和华火祭的条例，烧在坛上。至於所犯的罪，祭司要为他赎了，他必蒙赦免。

¹ Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

² "Sanctify to me all of the firstborn, whatever opens the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of animal. It is mine."

³ Moses said to the people, "Remember this day, in which you came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand Yahweh brought you out from this place. No leavened bread shall be eaten.

⁴ This day you go forth in the month Abib.

⁵ It shall be, when Yahweh shall bring you into the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, which he swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, that you shall keep this service in this month.

⁶ Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to Yahweh.

⁷ Unleavened bread shall be eaten throughout the seven days; and no leavened bread shall be seen with you, neither shall there be yeast seen with you, in all your borders.

⁸ You shall tell your son in that day, saying, 'It is because of that which Yahweh did for me when I came forth out of Egypt.'

⁹ It shall be for a sign to you on your hand, and for a memorial between your eyes, that the law of Yahweh may be in your mouth; for with a strong hand Yahweh has brought you out of Egypt.

¹⁰ You shall therefore keep this ordinance in its season from year to year.

¹¹ "It shall be, when Yahweh shall bring you into the land of the Canaanite, as he swore to you and to your fathers, and shall give it you,

¹² that you shall set apart to Yahweh all that opens the womb, and every firstborn which you have that comes from an animal. The males shall be Yahweh's.

¹³ Every firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb; and if you will not redeem it, then you shall break its neck; and you shall redeem all the firstborn of man among your sons.

¹⁴ It shall be, when your son asks you in time to come, saying, 'What is this?' that you shall tell him, 'By strength of hand Yahweh brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage;

¹⁵ and it happened, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that Yahweh killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of animal. Therefore I sacrifice to Yahweh all that opens the womb, being males; but all the firstborn of my sons I redeem.'

¹⁶ It shall be for a sign on your hand, and for symbols between your eyes: for by strength of hand Yahweh brought us forth out of Egypt."

¹⁷ It happened, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God didn't lead them by the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, "Lest perhaps the people change their minds when they see war, and they return to Egypt;"

¹⁸ but God led the people around by the way of the wilderness by the Red Sea; and the children of Israel went up armed out of the land of Egypt.

¹⁹ Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for he had made the children of Israel swear, saying, "God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones away from here with you."

²⁰ They took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.

²¹ Yahweh went before them by day in a pillar of cloud, to lead them on their way, and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light, that they might go by day and by night:

²² the pillar of cloud by day, and the pillar of fire by night, didn't depart from before the people.
