Leviticus 4:16-26

16 And the preast that is anoynted shall brynge of his bloude in to the tabernacle of witnesse,
17 and shall dyppe his finger in the bloude, and sprinkle it seuen tymes before the Lorde: euen before the uayle.
18 And shall put of the bloude apon the hornes of the alter whiche is before the Lorde in the tabernacle of witnesse, and shall poure all the bloude apon the botome of the alter of burntoffrynges which is by the dore of the tabernacle of witnesse,
19 and shall take all his fatt from him and burne it apon the altare,
20 and shall do with his oxe as he dyd wyth the synneoffryngeoxe. And the preast shal make an attonement for them, ad so it shalbe forgeuen them.
21 And he shall brynge the oxe without the hoste, ad burne him as he burned the first, so is this the synneofferynge of the comynalte.
22 When a Lorde synneth and committeth thorow ignoraunce any of these thynges whiche the Lorde his God hath forbydden to be done in his commaundmentes and hath so offended:
23 when his synne is shewed vnto him which he hath synned, he shall brynge for hys offerynge an he goote without blemysh
24 and laye his hande apon the heed of it, and kyll it in the place where the burntofferynges are kylled before the Lorde: this is a synneoffrynge.
25 Tha let the preast take of the bloude of the synneoffrynge with his finger, and put it apon the hornes of the burntofferyngalter, and poure his bloude apon the botome of the burntofferyngealter
26 and burne all his fatt apon the alter as he doth the fatt of the peaceofferynges. And the preast shall make an attonement for him as concernynge his synne, and so it shalbe forgeuen him.
