1. The goat Chatas sin offering of an individual:

• If an individual accidentally sins, he is to bring a female goat which is unblemished as a Chatas offering for Hashem. He is to rest his hands on the head of the goat and sacrifice it before Hashem in the same area as the Olah offering.
• Offering the blood: The Kohen is to take from the blood and place it on the corners of the altar used for the incense. The remaining blood is to be spilled on the base of the Ohel altar.
• Offering the animal: All its fat is to be offered to the altar. Doing so will bring atonement and Hashem will forgive him.

3. The Karban Olah Veyoreid for specified sins:
   • Anyone who has transgressed the following sins is responsible to bring a Chatas offering:
     • Swearing falsely: If an individual sins, by swearing falsely, swearing that he does not have testimony of something that he witnessed, then he will bear his sin.
     • Impurity: Likewise, an individual who touches an impure item or a Niveila and he became impure, and he forgot of his impurity and sinned [through entering the Temple or eating Kodshim].
     • Vow: An individual who made a vow and forgot and transgressed it.
   • The animal offering: Anyone who is guilty of the above is to confess his sin and bring his guilt offering before Hashem. It is to be a female sheep or goat, and the Kohen is to atone for him.
   • If he is poor-the bird offering: If one cannot afford to bring an animal, then he is to bring two turtledoves or two young doves to the Kohen. The first is to be offered as a Chatas and have Melika performed on its head, by its neck area, although it is not to be beheaded. The blood of the Chatas is to be sprayed on the wall of the altar, and the remaining blood is to be poured on the base of the altar. The second bird is to be offered as an Olah.
