Leviticus 4:22-26
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
For the Tribal Leader. 22 Should a tribal leader(A) do wrong inadvertently by violating any one of the prohibitions of the Lord his God, and thus be guilty, 23 when he learns of the wrong he committed, he shall bring as his offering an unblemished male goat. 24 He shall lay his hand on its head and it shall be slaughtered in the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered, before the Lord. It is a purification offering. 25 The priest shall then take some of the blood of the purification offering on his finger and put it on the horns(B) of the altar for burnt offerings. The rest of the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar. 26 All of its fat he shall burn on the altar like the fat of the communion sacrifice. Thus the priest shall make atonement on the tribal leader’s behalf for his wrong, that he may be forgiven.

New International Version
22 “‘When a leader(A) sins unintentionally(B) and does what is forbidden in any of the commands of the Lord his God, when he realizes his guilt 23 and the sin he has committed becomes known, he must bring as his offering a male goat(C) without defect. 24 He is to lay his hand on the goat’s head and slaughter it at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered before the Lord.(D) It is a sin offering.(E) 25 Then the priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar(F) of burnt offering and pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.(G) 26 He shall burn all the fat on the altar as he burned the fat of the fellowship offering. In this way the priest will make atonement(H) for the leader’s sin, and he will be forgiven.(I)

22 “When a leader sins, (A)doing unintentionally any one of all the things that by the commandments of the Lord his God ought not to be done, and realizes his guilt, 23 or (B)the sin which he has committed is made known to him, he shall bring as his offering a goat, a male without blemish, 24 and (C)shall lay his hand on the head of the goat and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before the Lord; it is a sin offering. 25 (D)Then the priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering and pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering. 26 And all its fat he shall burn on the altar, like (E)the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings. So (F)the priest shall make atonement for him for his sin, and he shall be forgiven.
