Leviticus 4:22-35

22WhenH834 a leaderH5387 sinsH2398 unintentionallyH7684 and doesH6213 whatH834 is prohibitedH3808 by anyH259 ofH3605 the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 his GodH430H6213, he incurs guiltH816. 23When he becomes awareH3045H413 of the sinH2403 he has committedH2398, he must bringH935 an unblemishedH8549 male goatH8163H5795H2145 as his offeringH7133. 24He is to layH5564 his handH3027 onH5921 the headH7218 of the goatH8163 and slaughterH7819 it at the placeH4725 whereH834 the burnt offeringH5930 is slaughteredH7819 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068. ItH1931 is a sin offeringH2403. 25Then the priestH3548 is to takeH3947 some of the bloodH1818 of the sin offeringH2403 with his fingerH676, put itH5414 onH5921 the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196 of burnt offeringH5930, andH853 pour outH8210 the rest of the bloodH1818 atH413 the baseH3247 of the altarH4196. 26He must burnH6999 allH3605 its fatH2459 on the altarH4196, like the fatH2459 of the peace offeringsH2077H8002; thus the priestH3548 will make atonementH3722 forH5921 that man’s sinH2403, and he will be forgivenH5545.

27And ifH518 oneH5315H259 of the commonH776 peopleH5971 sinsH2398 unintentionallyH7684 and does whatH834 is prohibitedH3808H6213 by anyH259 of the LORD’sH3068 commandmentsH4687, he incurs guiltH816. 28When he becomes awareH3045H413 of the sinH2403 he has committedH2398, he must bringH935 an unblemishedH8549 femaleH5347 goatH8166H5795 as his offeringH7133 forH5921 that sinH2403H834H2398. 29He is to layH5564 his handH3027 onH5921 the headH7218 of the sin offeringH2403 and slaughterH7819 itH2403 at the placeH4725 of the burnt offeringH5930. 30Then the priestH3548 is to takeH3947 some of its bloodH1818 with his fingerH676, put itH5414 onH5921 the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196 of burnt offeringH5930, andH853 pour outH8210 the restH3605 of the bloodH1818 atH413 the baseH3247 of the altarH4196. 31ThenH853 he is to removeH5493 allH3605 the fatH2459, just asH834 it is removedH5493 fromH5921 the peace offeringH2077H8002, and the priestH3548 is to burnH6999 it on the altarH4196 as a pleasingH5207 aromaH7381 to the LORDH3068. In this way the priestH3548 will make atonementH3722 for himH5921, and he will be forgivenH5545.

32If, howeverH518, he bringsH935 a lambH3532 as a sin offeringH2403, he must bringH935 an unblemishedH8549 femaleH5347. 33And he is to layH5564 his handH3027 onH5921 the headH7218 of the sin offeringH2403 and slaughterH7819 itH853 as a sin offeringH2403 at the placeH4725 whereH834 the burnt offeringH5930 is slaughteredH7819. 34Then the priestH3548 is to takeH3947 some of the bloodH1818 of the sin offeringH2403 with his fingerH676, put itH5414 onH5921 the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196 of burnt offeringH5930, andH853 pour outH8210 the restH3605 of its bloodH1818 atH413 the baseH3247 of the altarH4196. 35AndH853 he shall removeH5493 allH3605 the fatH2459, just asH834 the fatH2459 of the lambH3775 is removedH5493 from the peace offeringsH2077H8002, andH3548 he shall burnH6999 it on the altarH4196 along withH5921 the food offeringsH801 to the LORDH3068. In this way the priestH3548 will make atonementH3722 for himH5921 forH5921 the sinH2403 he has committedH2398, and he will be forgivenH5545.
