The leaders of the community are to lay their hands on the bull's head and slaughter the bull in the presence of ADONAI.
16
The anointed cohen is to bring some of the bull's blood to the tent of meeting.
17
The cohen is to dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times in the presence of ADONAI in front of the curtain.
18
He is to put some of the blood on the horns of the altar before ADONAI, there in the tent of meeting. All the remaining blood he is to pour out at the base of the altar for burnt offerings, which is at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
19
He is to remove all its fat and make it go up in smoke on the altar.
20
This is what he is to do with the bull - he must do the same with this bull as he does with the one for the sin offering. Thus the cohen will make atonement for them, and they will be forgiven.
21
He is to bring the bull outside the camp and burn it as he burned the first bull; it is the sin offering for the assembly.

23
If the sin which he committed becomes known to him, he is to bring as his offering a male goat without defect,

lay his hand on the goat's head and slaughter it in the place where they slaughter the burnt offering in the presence of ADONAI ; it is a sin offering.
25
The cohen is to take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar for burnt offerings. Its remaining blood he is to pour out at the base of the altar for burnt offerings.
