²⁷ “‘If any member of the community sins unintentionally^(A) and does what is forbidden in any of the Lord’s commands, when they realize their guilt ²⁸ and the sin they have committed becomes known, they must bring as their offering^(B) for the sin they committed a female goat^(C) without defect. ²⁹ They are to lay their hand on the head^(D) of the sin offering^(E) and slaughter it at the place of the burnt offering.^{(F) 30} Then the priest is to take some of the blood with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering^(G) and pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar. ³¹ 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^(H) as an aroma pleasing to the Lord.^(I) In this way the priest will make atonement^(J) for them, and they will be forgiven.^(K)

⁴⁸ But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows.^(A) From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.
