Leviticus 4:29-31
Contemporary English Version
29 Lead the goat to the north side of the bronze altar and lay your hand on its head, before having it killed. 30 Then a priest will dip a finger in the blood; he will smear some of it on each of the four corners of the altar and pour out the rest at the foot of the altar. 31 After this, the priest will remove all of the fat, just as he does when an animal is sacrificed to ask my blessing.[a] The priest will then send the fat up in smoke with a smell that pleases me. This animal is sacrificed so that I will forgive you ordinary people when you sin.

Leviticus 4:29-31
New International Version
29 They are to lay their hand on the head(A) of the sin offering(B) and slaughter it at the place of the burnt offering.(C) 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(D) 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(E) as an aroma pleasing to the Lord.(F) In this way the priest will make atonement(G) for them, and they will be forgiven.(H)
