He shall burn all the fat on the altar as he burned the fat of the fellowship offering. In this way the priest will make atonement for the leader’s sin, and he will be forgiven.
27	But if a soul from the people of the land will have sinned through ignorance, so as to have done any of those things that the law of the Lord prohibits, and so commit a transgression,	“If anyone of the common people sins unintentionally in doing any one of the things that by the LORD’s commandments ought not to be done, and realizes his guilt,	“’If any member of the community sins unintentionally and does what is forbidden in any of the LORD’s commands, when they realize their guilt
28	and he shall realize his sin: he shall offer an immaculate she-goat.	or the sin which he has committed is made known to him, he shall bring for his offering a goat, a female without blemish, for his sin which he has committed.	and the sin they have committed becomes known, they must bring as their offering for the sin they committed a female goat without defect.

And the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be forgiven.	They shall remove all the fat, just as the fat is removed from the fellowship offering, and the priest shall burn it on the altar as an aroma pleasing to the LORD.

32	But if instead he will offer from the flock a victim for his sin, specifically, an immaculate female sheep:	“If he brings a lamb as his offering for a sin offering, he shall bring a female without blemish	“’If someone brings a lamb as their sin offering, they are to bring a female without defect.
33	he shall place his hand upon its head, and he shall immolate it in the place where the victims of holocausts are usually slain.	and lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and kill it for a sin offering in the place where they kill the burnt offering.

And he shall burn it upon the altar as an incense of the Lord. And he shall pray for him and for his sin, and he shall be released from it.	And all its fat he shall remove as the fat of the lamb is removed from the sacrifice of peace offerings, and the priest shall burn it on the altar, on top of the LORD’s food offerings. And the priest shall make atonement for him for the sin which he has committed, and he shall be forgiven.	They shall remove all the fat, just as the fat is removed from the lamb of the fellowship offering, and the priest shall burn it on the altar on top of the food offerings presented to the LORD.
