The goat is to be presented as a purification offering for sin. ²⁵ The officiating priest must dip his finger into the blood of the sin offering, put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and then pour the rest of the blood at the base of the altar. ²⁶ The priest is to offer up all of its fat as smoke in the same way that the fat of the peace offering is offered up.
