Leviticus 4:18-31 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

18. And he shall put of the same blood on the horns of the altar that is before the Lord, in the tabernacle of the testimony: and the rest of the blood he shall pour at the foot of the altar of holocaust, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony.

19. And all the fat thereof he shall take off, and shall burn it upon the altar:

20. Doing so with this calf, as he did also with that before: and the priest praying for them, the Lord will be merciful unto them.

21. But the calf itself he shall carry forth without the camp, and shall burn it as he did the former calf: because it is for the sin of the multitude.

22. If a prince shall sin, and through ignorance do any one of the things that the law of the Lord forbiddeth,

23. And afterwards shall come to know his sin, he shall offer a buck goat without blemish, a sacrifice to the Lord.

24. And he shall put his hand upon the head thereof: and when he hath immolated it in the place where the holocaust is wont to be slain before the Lord, because it is for sin,

25. The priest shall dip his finger in the blood of the victim for sin, touching therewith the horns of the altar of holocaust, and pouring out the rest at the foot thereof.

26. But the fat he shall burn upon it, as is wont to be done with the victims of peace offerings: and the priest shall pray for him, and for his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.

27. And if any one of the people of the land shall sin through ignorance, doing any of those things that by the law of the Lord are forbidden, and offending,

28. And shall come to know his sin, he shall offer a she goat without blemish.

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

30. And the priest shall take of the blood with his finger, and shall touch the horns of the altar of holocaust, and shall pour out the rest at the foot thereof.

31. But taking off all the fat, as is wont to be taken away of the victims of peace offerings, he shall burn it upon the altar, for a sweet savour to the Lord: and he shall pray for him, and it shall be forgiven him.
