Leviticus 4:14-24

14 et postea intellexerit peccatum suum offeret vitulum pro peccato adducetque eum ad ostium tabernaculi

15 et ponent seniores populi manus super caput eius coram Domino immolatoque vitulo in conspectu Domini

16 inferet sacerdos qui unctus est de sanguine eius in tabernaculum testimonii

17 tincto digito aspergens septies contra velum

18 ponetque de eodem sanguine in cornibus altaris quod est coram Domino in tabernaculo testimonii reliquum autem sanguinem fundet iuxta basim altaris holocaustorum quod est in ostio tabernaculi testimonii

19 omnemque eius adipem tollet et adolebit super altare

20 sic faciens et de hoc vitulo quomodo fecit et prius et rogante pro eis sacerdote propitius erit Dominus

21 ipsum autem vitulum efferet extra castra atque conburet sicut et priorem vitulum quia pro peccato est multitudinis

22 si peccaverit princeps et fecerit unum e pluribus per ignorantiam quod Domini lege prohibetur

23 et postea intellexerit peccatum suum offeret hostiam Domino hircum de capris inmaculatum

24 ponetque manum suam super caput eius cumque immolaverit eum in loco ubi solet mactari holocaustum coram Domino quia pro peccato est
