15. And the elders of the people shall place their hands upon its head in the sight of the Lord. And when the calf has been immolated in the sight of the Lord,
16. the priest who is anointed shall carry some of its blood into the tabernacle of the testimony.
17. and he shall dip his finger in it, sprinkling it seven times opposite the veil.
18. And he shall place some of the same blood on the horns of the altar, which is in the presence of the Lord in the tabernacle of the testimony. But the remainder of the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of holocaust, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony.
19. And he shall take all its fat and burn it upon the altar,
20. doing so with this calf in the same manner as he did before. And while the priest is praying for them, the Lord will forgive them.
21. But the calf itself he shall carry away, beyond the camp, and he shall also burn it, just as with the previous calf, because it is for the sin of the multitude.
22. If a leader will have sinned, and through ignorance will have done one of the many things which the law of the Lord prohibits,
23. and afterwards he shall understand his sin: he shall offer an immaculate he-goat from among the goats, as a sacrifice to the Lord.
24. And he shall place his hand upon its head. And when he will have immolated it, in the place where the holocaust is usually slain, in the sight of the Lord, because it is for sin,
25. the priest shall dip his finger in the blood of the victim for sin, touching the horns of the altar of holocaust, and pouring out the remainder at its base.
