For the Leader

4:22 “ ‘Whenever44 a leader, by straying unintentionally,45 sins and violates one of the commandments of the Lord his God which must not be violated,46 and he pleads guilty, 4:23 or his sin that he committed47 is made known to him,48 he must bring a flawless male goat as his offering.49 4:24 He must lay his hand on the head of the male goat and slaughter50 it in the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered before the Lord—it is a sin offering. 4:25 Then the priest must 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 he must pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering. 4:26 Then the priest51 must offer all of its fat up in smoke on the altar like the fat of the peace offering sacrifice. So the priest will make atonement52 on his behalf for53 his sin and he will be forgiven.54
