16 The anointed priest must get some of the bull’s blood and take it into the Meeting Tent.
17 He must put his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times in front of the curtain before the Lord.
18 He must put some of the blood on the corners of the altar. (This altar is inside the Meeting Tent, in front of the Lord.) He must then pour out all the blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering. (This altar is at the entrance of the Meeting Tent.)
19 Then he must take all the fat from the animal and bring it to the altar.
20 He must offer these parts, just as he offered the bull of the sin offering. In this way the priest will make the people pure, and God will forgive them.
21 The priest must carry this bull outside the camp and burn it, just as he burned the other bull. This is the sin offering for the whole community.
22 “A ruler might sin without meaning to and break one of the commands of the Lord. He might do something that his God said must not be done.
