Leviticus 4:27-31; 5:14-16

If anyone of the ordinary people among you sins unintentionally in doing
any one of the things that by the LORD's commandments ought not to be done
and incurs guilt, when the sin that you have committed is made known to
you, you shall bring a female goat without blemish as your offering, for
the sin that you have committed.  You shall lay your hand on the head of
the sin offering; and the sin offering shall be slaughtered at the place
of the burnt offering.  The priest shall take some of its blood 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.  He shall
remove all its fat, as the fat is removed from the offering of well being,
and the priest shall turn it into smoke on the altar for a pleasing odor
to the LORD.  Thus the priest shall make atonement on your behalf, and you
shall be forgiven.

The LORD spoke to Moses, saying:  When any of you commit a trespass and
sin unintentionally in any of the holy things of the LORD, you shall
bring, as your guilt offering to the LORD, a ram without blemish from the
flock, convertible into silver by the sanctuary shekel; it is a guilt
offering.  And you shall make restitution for the holy thing in which you
were remiss, and shall add one fifth to it and give it to the priest.  The
priest shall make atonement on your behalf with the ram of the guilt
offering, and you shall be forgiven.
