27 “‘A person in the community might sin by accident. He might do something which the Lord has commanded must not be done. He is guilty of sin.
28 When the person learns about his sin, he must bring a female goat. It must have nothing wrong with it. That will be his sin offering.
29 He must put his hand on the animal’s head. He must kill it at the place of the whole burnt offering.
30 Then the priest must take some of the goat’s blood on his finger. He must put it on the corners of the altar of burnt offering. He must pour out the rest of the goat’s blood at the bottom of the altar.
31 Then the priest must remove all the goat’s fat. He must do it in the same way the fat is removed from the fellowship offerings. He must burn it on the altar. Its smell is pleasing to the Lord. In this way the priest will remove that person’s sin so he will belong to the Lord. And the Lord will forgive him.
32 “‘This person may bring a lamb as his sin offering. If he does, he must bring a female. It must have nothing wrong with it.
33 The person must put his hand on the animal’s head. He must kill it as a sin offering. He must kill it where they kill the whole burnt offering.
