25Then the priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and he shall pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering.

26And he shall burn all its fat on the altar, like the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings. Thus the priest shall make atonement for him for his sin, and he shall be forgiven.
