New Testament

Leviticus 4:26-35 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

26. Yet truly, the fat he shall burn upon it, just as is usually done with the victims of peace offerings. And the priest shall pray for him and for his sin, and he shall be released from it.

27. But if a soul from the people of the land will have sinned through ignorance, so as to have done any of those things that the law of the Lord prohibits, and so commit a transgression,

28. and he shall realize his sin: he shall offer an immaculate she-goat.

29. And he shall place his hand upon the head of the victim which is for sin. And he shall immolate it in the place of the holocaust.

30. And the priest shall take some of the blood with his finger, and touching the horns of the altar of holocaust, he shall pour out the remainder at its base.

31. But taking away all the fat, just as it is usually taken away from the victims of peace offerings, he shall burn it upon the altar as a sweet odor to the Lord. And he shall pray for him, and he shall be released from it.

32. But if instead he will offer from the flock a victim for his sin, specifically, an immaculate female sheep:

33. he shall place his hand upon its head, and he shall immolate it in the place where the victims of holocausts are usually slain.

34. And the priest shall take some of its blood with his finger, and touching the horns of the altar of holocaust, he shall pour out the remainder at its base.

35. Likewise, all of the fat shall be taken away, just as the fat of the ram, which is immolated for peace offerings, is usually taken away. And he shall burn it upon the altar as an incense of the Lord. And he shall pray for him and for his sin, and he shall be released from it.
