27And if one person from the common people sins unintentionally by doing one of Yahweh’s commandments that must not be done, and becomes guilty,

28Or if the sin that he has committed is made known to him, then he shall bring as his offering for the sin that he has committed a female goat without blemish.

29And he shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering.
