Leviticus 4:14-23

14When the wrong they have done becomes known, the congregation must sacrifice a bull as an offering for sin. They must bring it in front of the tent of meeting.

15The leaders of the congregation will place their hands on the bull’s head in the Lord’s presence. One of them will slaughter it in the Lord’s presence.

16Then the anointed priest will bring some of the bull’s blood into the tent of meeting.

17The priest will dip his finger in some of the blood and sprinkle it seven times in the Lord’s presence facing the canopy.

18He will also put some blood on the horns of the altar in the Lord’s presence in the tent of meeting. He will pour the rest of the blood at the bottom of the altar for burnt offerings at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

19He will remove all the fat and burn it on the altar.

20He will do the same thing with this bull that he did with the bull used as the offering for sin. So the priest will make peace with the Lord for the people, and they will be forgiven.

21Then he will take the bull outside the camp and will burn it the same way he burned the first bull. It is an offering for sin for the community.

22“When a leader unintentionally does something wrong—even one thing that is forbidden by any of the commands of the Lord his God—he will be guilty.

23When he is told about what he has done wrong, he must bring a male goat that has no defects as his offering.
