Leviticus 4:23-33

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

25 tinguet sacerdos digitum in sanguine hostiae pro peccato tangens cornua altaris holocausti et reliquum fundens ad basim eius

26 adipem vero adolebit supra sicut in victimis pacificorum fieri solet rogabitque pro eo et pro peccato eius ac dimittetur ei

27 quod si peccaverit anima per ignorantiam de populo terrae ut faciat quicquam ex his quae Domini lege prohibentur atque delinquat

28 et cognoverit peccatum suum offeret capram inmaculatam

29 ponetque manum super caput hostiae quae pro peccato est et immolabit eam in loco holocausti

30 tolletque sacerdos de sanguine in digito suo et tangens cornua altaris holocausti reliquum fundet ad basim eius

31 omnem autem auferens adipem sicut auferri solet de victimis pacificorum adolebit super altare in odorem suavitatis Domino rogabitque pro eo et dimittetur ei

32 sin autem de pecoribus obtulerit victimam pro peccato ovem scilicet inmaculatam

33 ponet manum super caput eius et immolabit eam in loco ubi solent holocaustorum caedi hostiae
