Leviticus 4:2-13

2“Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘If a person sins 1unintentionally in any of the 2things which the Lord has 3commanded not to be done, and commits any of them, 34if the anointed priest sins so as to bring guilt on the people, then let him offer to the Lord a 5bull without defect as a sin offering for the sin he has 6committed. 4He shall bring the bull to the doorway of the tent of meeting before the Lord, and 7he shall lay his hand on the head of the bull and slay the bull before the Lord. 5Then the 8anointed priest is to take some of the blood of the bull and bring it to the tent of meeting, 6and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle some of the blood seven times before the Lord, in front of 9the veil of the sanctuary. 7The priest shall also put some of the blood on the horns of 10the altar of fragrant incense which is before the Lord in the tent of meeting; and all the blood of the bull he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering which is at the doorway of the tent of meeting. 811He shall remove from it all the fat of the bull of the sin offering: the fat that covers the entrails, and all the fat which is on the entrails, 9and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them, which is on the loins, and the 12lobe of the liver, which he shall remove 13with the kidneys 10(just as it is removed from the ox of the sacrifice of peace offerings), and the priest is to offer them up in smoke on the altar of burnt offering. 11But 14the hide of the bull and all its flesh with its head and its legs and its entrails and its refuse, 1215that is, all the rest of the bull, he is to bring out to 16a clean place outside the camp where the 17ashes are poured out, and burn it on wood with fire; where the 18ashes are poured out it shall be burned.

13‘19Now if the whole congregation of Israel commits error and the matter 20escapes the notice of the assembly, and they commit any of the 21things which the Lord has commanded not to be done, and they become guilty;
