29 '¹He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and ²slay the sin offering at the place of the burnt offering.

30 'The priest shall take some of its blood with his finger and put it on the horns of ³the altar of burnt offering; and ⁴all the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar.

31 '⁵Then 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 for ⁶a soothing aroma to the LORD. Thus the priest shall make atonement for him, and he will be forgiven.

32 'But if he brings ⁷a lamb as his offering for a sin offering, he shall bring it, a female without defect.

33 '⁸He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slay it for a sin offering ⁹in the place where they slay the burnt offering.

34 'The priest is to take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it on the horns of ¹⁰the altar of burnt offering, and ¹¹all the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar.

35 'Then he shall remove ¹²all its fat, just as the fat of the lamb is removed from the sacrifice of the peace offerings, and the priest shall offer them up in smoke on the altar, on the offerings by fire to the LORD. Thus ¹³the priest shall make atonement for him in regard to his sin which he has committed, and he will be forgiven.
