22. If it is a ruler who sins and becomes guilty of breaking one of the Lord's commands without intending to,
23. then as soon as his attention is called to the sin, he shall bring as his offering a male goat without any defects.
24. He shall put his hand on its head and kill it on the north side of the altar, where the animals for the burnt offerings are killed. This is an offering to take away sin.
25. The priest shall dip his finger in the blood of the animal, put it on the projections at the corners of the altar, and pour out the rest of it at the base of the altar.
26. Then he shall burn all its fat on the altar, just as he burns the fat of the animals killed for the fellowship offerings. In this way the priest shall offer the sacrifice for the sin of the ruler, and he will be forgiven.
27. If it is one of the common people who sins and becomes guilty of breaking one of the Lord's commands without intending to,
28. then as soon as his attention is called to the sin, he shall bring as his offering a female goat without any defects.
