For a Ruler

v. 22. When a ruler,
one of the princes of the people, hath sinned, and done somewhat through ignorance against any of the commandments of the Lord, his God, concerning things which should not be done, and is guilty;

v. 23. or if his sin wherein he hath sinned come to his knowledge,
if someone point out to him his deviation from the exact line of God's will, he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a Male without blemish, a sacrifice which later, Num_15:24, is enumerated with that of the whole congregation;

v. 24. and he shall lay his hand up on the head of the goat,
as the substitute victim, and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before the Lord; it is a sin-offering.

v. 25. And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin-offering with his finger, and put it up on the horns of the altar of burnt offering,
and shall pour out his blood at the bottom of the altar of burnt offering. In this case the ceremonies of sprinkling before the veil of the Most Holy Place and of smearing the blood on the horns of the golden altar of incense were omitted.

v. 26. And he shall burn all his fat upon the altar, as the fat of the sacrifice of peace-offerings,
Lev_3:5;and the priest shall make an atonement for him as concerning his sin, and it shall be forgiven him. The ordinance concerning the disposition of the flesh is given Lev_6:26-29.
