Leviticus 4:18-34
New American Standard Bible
18 He shall then put some of the blood on the horns of (A)the altar which is before the Lord [a]in 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. 19 And (B)he shall remove all its fat from it and offer it up in smoke on the altar. 20 He shall also do with the bull just as he did with (C)the bull of the sin offering; he shall do the same with it. So (D)the priest shall make atonement for them, and they will be forgiven. 21 Then 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 (E)the sin offering for the assembly.
22 ‘When (F)a leader (G)sins and unintentionally does any of [b]the things which the Lord his God has commanded not to be done, and he becomes guilty, 23 [c](H)if his sin [d]which he has committed is made known to him, he shall bring as his offering a [e](I)goat, (J)a male without defect. 24 And he shall lay his hand on the head of the male goat and slaughter it in the place where they slaughter the burnt offering before the Lord; it is a sin offering. 25 Then the priest is to take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it on (K)the horns of the altar of burnt offering; and the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering. 26 And he shall offer (L)all its fat up in smoke on the altar as in the case of the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings. So (M)the priest shall make atonement for him regarding his sin, and he will be forgiven.
27 ‘Now if [f]anyone of the [g]common people sins (N)unintentionally by doing any of the [h]things which the Lord has commanded not to be done, and becomes guilty, 28 [i](O)if his sin which he has [j]committed is made known to him, then he shall bring as his offering a [k](P)goat, a (Q)female without defect, for his sin which he has [l]committed. 29 And (R)he shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and (S)slaughter the sin offering at the place of the burnt offering. 30 The priest shall then take some of its blood with his finger and put it on the horns of (T)the altar of burnt offering; and (U)all the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar. 31 (V)Then he shall remove all its fat, just as the fat was removed from the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall offer it up in smoke on the altar as (W)a soothing aroma to the Lord. So the priest shall make atonement for him, [m]and he will be forgiven.
32 ‘But if he brings (X)a lamb as his offering for a sin offering, he shall bring a female without defect. 33 And (Y)he shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it as a sin offering (Z)in the place where they slaughter the burnt offering. 34 And the priest is to take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it on the horns of (AA)the altar of burnt offering, and (AB)all the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar.
