Leviticus 4:18-24 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

18. He is to apply some of the blood to the horns of the altar that is before the Lord in the tent of meeting. He must pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering that is at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

19. He is to remove all the fat from it and burn it on the altar.

20. He is to offer this bull just as he did with the bull in the sin offering; he will offer it the same way. So the priest will make atonement on their behalf, and they will be forgiven.

21. Then he will bring the bull outside the camp and burn it just as he burned the first bull. It is the sin offering for the assembly.

22. “When a leader sins and unintentionally violates any of the commands of the Lord his God by doing what is prohibited, and incurs guilt,

23. or someone informs him about the sin he has committed, he is to bring an unblemished male goat as his offering.

24. He is to lay his hand on the head of the goat and slaughter it at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered before the Lord. It is a sin offering.
