in brief
The law continues for sin offerings by rulers and common people: choosing unblemished goats or sheep, applying blood to altar horns and burning fat, with atonement and forgiveness.

And shall put of the blood upon the horns of the altar which is before the LORD in the tabernacle of witness, and shall pour all the blood upon the bottom of the altar of burntofferings which is by the door of the tabernacle of witness, and shall take all his fat from him and burn it upon the altar, and shall do with his ox as he did with the sinoffering ox. And the priest shall make an atonement for them, and so it shall be forgiven them. And he shall bring the ox without the host, and burn him as he burned the first, so is this the sinoffering of the commonalty. When a lord sinneth and committeth thorow ignorance any of these things which the LORD his God hath forbidden to be done in his commandments and hath so offended: when his sin is shewed unto him which he hath sinned, he shall bring for his offering an hegoat without blemish and lay his hand upon the head of it, and kill it in the place where the burntofferings are killed before the LORD: this is a sinoffering. Then let the priest take of the blood of the sinoffering with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the burntoffering altar, and pour his blood upon the bottom of the burntoffering altar and burn all his fat upon the altar, as he doth the fat of the peaceofferings. And the priest shall make an atonement for him as concerning his sin, and so it shall be forgiven him. If one of the common people of the land sin thorow ignorance and commit any of the things which the LORD hath forbidden, in his commandments to be done and so hath trespassed, when his sin which he hath sinned is come to his knowledge, he shall bring for his offering, a she goat without blemish for his sin which he hath sinned, and lay his hand upon the head of the sinoffering, and slay it in the place of burntofferings. And the priest shall take of the blood with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the burntoffering altar, and pour all the blood upon the bottom of the altar, and shall take away all his fat as the fat of the peaceofferings is taken away. And the priest shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savour unto the LORD, and the priest shall make an atonement for him and it shall be forgiven him. If he bring a sheep {lamb} and offer it for a sinoffering, he shall bring a ewe {female} without blemish, and lay his hand upon the head of the sinoffering, and slay it in the place where the burntofferings are slain. And the priest shall take of the blood of the sinoffering with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the burntoffering altar, and shall pour all the blood thereof unto the bottom of the altar.
