Leviticus 4:13 in context

The verses around it, from Leviticus 4.

9 both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which he is to remove with the kidneys—

10 just as the fat is removed from the ox of the peace offering. Then the priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering.

11 But the hide of the bull and all its flesh, with its head and legs and its entrails and dung—

12 all the rest of the bull—he must take outside the camp to a ceremonially clean place where the ashes are poured out, and there he must burn it on a wood fire on the ash heap.

13 Now if the whole congregation of Israel strays unintentionally and the matter escapes the notice of the assembly so that they violate any of the LORD’s commandments and incur guilt by doing what is forbidden,

14 when they become aware of the sin they have committed, then the assembly must bring a young bull as a sin offering and present it before the Tent of Meeting.

15 The elders of the congregation are to lay their hands on the bull’s head before the LORD, and it shall be slaughtered before the LORD.

16 Then the anointed priest is to bring some of the bull’s blood into the Tent of Meeting,

17 and he is to dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD in front of the veil.
