13And if the whole congregation of Israel sins unintentionally, and the matter is hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they do one of all the things that Yahweh has commanded not to be done, and they become guilty,

14and the sin that they committed becomes known, then the assembly shall present a bull, a son of the herd, as a sin offering and bring it before the tent of meeting.

15And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the bull before Yahweh, and the bull shall be slaughtered before Yahweh.
