Context of Leviticus 4:19

17He will put his finger in the blood. He must shake it in front of the Lord and the holy curtain seven times. 18He will take some of the blood. Then he will put it on the horns of the altar that is in front of the Lord. He will pour the blood that he did not use onto the floor. He must pour it in front of the burnt offering altar. This altar is outside the door of the Tent of Meeting. The priest will cut all the fat from the dead animal. And he will burn all the fat on the altar of burnt offering. 20He will do with this bull what he did with the bull for the sin offering. This is how the priest will atone for the sins of the people. God will forgive them when the priest does this. 21The priest will take the dead animal outside the camp. He will put it on the ashes from the altar fire. He will burn the animal as he did the first bull. This is the sin offering for all the people.
