Leviticus 4:17-29 English Standard Version (ESV)

17. and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the Lord in front of the veil.

18. And he shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar that is in the tent of meeting before the Lord, and the rest of the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering that is at the entrance of the tent of meeting.

19. And all its fat he shall take from it and burn on the altar.

20. Thus shall he do with the bull. As he did with the bull of the sin offering, so shall he do with this. And the priest shall make atonement for them, and they shall be forgiven.

21. And he shall carry the bull outside the camp and burn it up as he burned the first bull; it is the sin offering for the assembly.

22. “When a leader sins, doing unintentionally any one of all the things that by the commandments of the Lord his God ought not to be done, and realizes his guilt,

23. or the sin which he has committed is made known to him, he shall bring as his offering a goat, a male without blemish,

24. and shall lay his hand on the head of the goat and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before the Lord; it is a sin offering.

25. Then the priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering and pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering.

26. And all its fat he shall burn on the altar, like the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings. So the priest shall make atonement for him for his sin, and he shall be forgiven.

27. “If anyone of the common people sins unintentionally in doing any one of the things that by the Lord’s commandments ought not to be done, and realizes his guilt,

28. or the sin which he has committed is made known to him, he shall bring for his offering a goat, a female without blemish, for his sin which he has committed.

29. And he shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and kill the sin offering in the place of burnt offering.
