¹ And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

² Say to the children of Israel: The soul that sinneth through ignorance, and doth any thing concerning any of the commandments of the Lord, which he commanded not to be done:

³ If the priest that is anointed shall sin, making the people to offend, he shall offer to the Lord for his sin a calf without blemish.

⁴ And he shall bring it to the door of the testimony before the Lord, and shall put his hand upon the head thereof, and shall sacrifice it to the Lord.

⁵ He shall take also of the blood of the calf, and carry it into the tabernacle of the testimony.

⁶ And having dipped his finger in the blood, he shall sprinkle with it seven times before the Lord, before the veil of the sanctuary.

⁷ And he shall put some of the same blood upon the horns of the altar of the sweet incense most acceptable to the Lord, which is in the tabernacle of the testimony. And he shall pour all the rest of the blood at the foot of the altar of holocaust in the entry of the tabernacle.

⁸ And he shall take off the fat of the calf for the sin offering, as well that which covereth the entrails, as all the inwards:

⁹ The two little kidneys, and the caul that is upon them, which is by the hanks, and the fat of the liver with the little kidneys,

¹⁰ As it is taken off from the calf of the sacrifice of peace offerings, and he shall burn them upon the altar of holocaust.

¹¹ But the skin and all the flesh with the head and the feet and the bowels and the dung,

¹² And the rest of the body he shall carry forth without the camp into a clean place where the ashes are wont to be poured out, and he shall burn them upon a pile of wood, they shall be burnt in the place where the ashes are poured out.

¹³ And if all the multitude of Israel shall be ignorant, and through ignorance shall do that which is against the commandment of the Lord,

¹⁴ And afterwards shall understand their sin, they shall offer for their sin a calf, and shall bring it to the door of the tabernacle.

¹⁵ And the ancients of the people shall put their hands upon the head thereof before the Lord. And the calf being immolated in the sight of the Lord,

¹⁶ The priest that is anointed shall carry of the blood into the tabernacle of the testimony.

¹⁷ And shall dip his finger in it and sprinkle it seven times before the veil.

¹⁸ And he shall put of the same blood on the horns of the altar that is before the Lord, in the tabernacle of the testimony: and the rest of the blood he shall pour at the foot of the altar of holocaust, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony.

¹⁹ And all the fat thereof he shall take off, and shall burn it upon the altar:

²⁰ Doing so with this calf, as he did also with that before: and the priest praying for them, the Lord will be merciful unto them.

²¹ But the calf itself he shall carry forth without the camp, and shall burn it as he did the former calf: because it is for the sin of the multitude.

²² If a prince shall sin, and through ignorance do any one of the things that the law of the Lord forbiddeth,

²³ And afterwards shall come to know his sin, he shall offer a buck goat without blemish, a sacrifice to the Lord.

²⁴ And he shall put his hand upon the head thereof: and when he hath immolated it in the place where the holocaust is wont to be slain before the Lord, because it is for sin,

²⁵ The priest shall dip his finger in the blood of the victim for sin, touching therewith the horns of the altar of holocaust, and pouring out the rest at the foot thereof.

²⁶ But the fat he shall burn upon it, as is wont to be done with the victims of peace offerings: and the priest shall pray for him, and for his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.

²⁷ And if any one of the people of the land shall sin through ignorance, doing any of those things that by the law of the Lord are forbidden, and offending,

²⁸ And shall come to know his sin, he shall offer a she goat without blemish.

²⁹ And he shall put his hand upon the head of the victim that is for sin, and shall immolate it in the place of the holocaust.

³⁰ And the priest shall take of the blood with his finger, and shall touch the horns of the altar of holocaust, and shall pour out the rest at the foot thereof.

³¹ But taking off all the fat, as is wont to be taken away of the victims of peace offerings, he shall burn it upon the altar, for a sweet savour to the Lord: and he shall pray for him, and it shall be forgiven him.

³² But if he offer of the flock a victim for his sin, to wit, an ewe without blemish:

³³ He shall put his hand upon the head thereof, and shall immolate it in the place where the victims of holocausts are wont to be slain.

³⁴ And the priest shall take of the blood thereof with his finger, and shall touch the horns of the altar of holocaust, and the rest he shall pour out at the foot thereof.

³⁵ All the fat also he shall take off, as the fat of the ram that is offered for peace offerings is wont to be taken away: and shall burn it upon the altar, for a burnt sacrifice of the Lord: and he shall pray for him and for his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.

¹ God said to Jacob, "Arise, go up to Bethel, and live there. Make there an altar to God, who appeared to you when you fled from the face of Esau your brother."

² Then Jacob said to his household, and to all who were with him, "Put away the foreign gods that are among you, purify yourselves, change your garments.

³ Let us arise, and go up to Bethel. I will make there an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went."

⁴ They gave to Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their hands, and the rings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.

⁵ They traveled, and a terror of God was on the cities that were around them, and they didn't pursue the sons of Jacob.

⁶ So Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.

⁷ He built an altar there, and called the place El Beth El; because there God was revealed to him, when he fled from the face of his brother.

⁸ Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the oak; and its name was called Allon Bacuth.

⁹ God appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Paddan Aram, and blessed him.

¹⁰ God said to him, "Your name is Jacob. Your name shall not be Jacob any more, but your name will be Israel." He named him Israel.

¹¹ God said to him, "I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations will be from you, and kings will come out of your body.

¹² The land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give it to you, and to your seed after you will I give the land."

¹³ God went up from him in the place where he spoke with him.

¹⁴ Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he spoke with him, a pillar of stone. He poured out a drink offering on it, and poured oil on it.

¹⁵ Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him "Bethel."

¹⁶ They traveled from Bethel. There was still some distance to come to Ephrath, and Rachel travailed. She had hard labor.

¹⁷ When she was in hard labor, the midwife said to her, "Don't be afraid, for now you will have another son."

¹⁸ It happened, as her soul was departing (for she died), that she named him Benoni, but his father named him Benjamin.

¹⁹ Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath (the same is Bethlehem).

²⁰ Jacob set up a pillar on her grave. The same is the Pillar of Rachel's grave to this day.

²¹ Israel traveled, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Eder.

²² It happened, while Israel lived in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah, his father's concubine, and Israel heard of it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve.

²³ The sons of Leah: Reuben (Jacob's firstborn), Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.

²⁴ The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.

²⁵ The sons of Bilhah (Rachel's handmaid): Dan and Naphtali.

²⁶ The sons of Zilpah (Leah's handmaid): Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Paddan Aram.

²⁷ Jacob came to Isaac his father, to Mamre, to Kiriath Arba (which is Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac lived as foreigners.

²⁸ The days of Isaac were one hundred eighty years.

²⁹ Isaac gave up the spirit, and died, and was gathered to his people, old and full of days. Esau and Jacob, his sons, buried him.
