Leviticus 4:30

The Holy Bible, Berean Study Bible

Contextual Overview

²⁷And if one of the common people sins unintentionally and does what is prohibited by any of the LORD's commandments, he incurs guilt. ²⁸When he becomes aware of the sin he has committed, he is to bring a female goat without blemish as his offering for the sin that he has committed. ²⁹He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it at the place of the burnt offering. ³⁰Then the priest is to take some of its blood with his finger, apply it to the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.³¹Then he shall remove all the fat just as it is removed from the peace offering, and the priest is to burn it on the altar as a pleasing aroma to the LORD. In this way the priest will make atonement for him, and he will be forgiven. ³²If, however, he brings a lamb as a sin offering, he is to bring an unblemished female. ³³And he shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it as a sin offering at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered. ³⁴Then the priest must take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, apply it to the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar. ³⁵And he is to remove all the fat, just as the fat of the lamb is removed from the peace offerings, and he shall burn it on the altar along with the offerings made by fire to the LORD. In this way the priest will make atonement for him for the sin he has committed, and he will be forgiven.
