²² “‘When a leader^(A) sins unintentionally^(B) and does what is forbidden in any of the commands of the Lord his God, when he realizes his guilt ²³ and the sin he has committed becomes known, he must bring as his offering a male goat^(C) without defect. ²⁴ He is to lay his hand on the goat’s head and slaughter it at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered before the Lord.^(D) It is a sin offering.^{(E) 25} Then the priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar^(F) of burnt offering and pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.^{(G) 26} He shall burn all the fat on the altar as he burned the fat of the fellowship offering. In this way the priest will make atonement^(H) for the leader’s sin, and he will be forgiven.^(I)

The Sin Offering
