Leviticus 4:13-21

13‘1Now if the entire congregation of Israel does wrong unintentionally and the matter 2escapes the notice of the assembly, and they commit any of the 3things which the Lord has commanded not to be done, and they become guilty; 144when the sin 5which they have 6committed becomes known, then the assembly shall offer 7a 8bull of the herd as a sin offering and bring it in front of the tent of meeting. 15Then 9the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the bull before the Lord, and the bull shall be slaughtered 10before the Lord. 16Then the anointed priest is to bring some of the blood of the bull to the tent of meeting; 17and 11the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the Lord, in front of the veil. 18He shall then put some of the blood on the horns of 12the altar which is before the Lord 13in the tent of meeting; and all the rest of the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering which is at the doorway of the tent of meeting. 19And 14he shall remove all its fat from it and offer it up in smoke on the altar. 20He shall also do with the bull just as he did with 15the bull of the sin offering; he shall do the same with it. So 16the priest shall make atonement for them, and they will be forgiven. 21Then he is to bring the bull out to a place outside the camp and burn it just as he burned the first bull; it is 17the sin offering for the assembly.
