There is more of course:

“The priest shall put some of the blood (shed life force) on the horns (“projecting, push”; emanating; #7161) of the altar of incense (“fumigation, drive”; transformation; #7004) in front of Yahweh, which is in the Tent of Meeting. He shall pour the remaining blood of the bull at the base (“foundation, beginning”; humbled thoughts; #3248) of the burnt offering which is at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.” (vs.7) The idea is that the shed life force formerly causing division is consciously slaughtered. The life force is then driven out of the center of consciousness, thus bringing sweetness back into the mind. Left behind is a new foundation and new ascending thoughts that spring forth from it, creating a new way of communication with Yahweh. And then: “He shall remove from it all the fat (“richness”; abundance in thought; #2459) of the bull as the sin (mental offense) offering (brought near), the fat (richness) that covers the entrails (“nearest, center”; conscious purpose; 4*7130), and all the fat on the entrails.” (vs.8) It’s the inner acknowledgment of the realization of mental freedom, the removal of divisive thoughts, that is offered up as a literal “firstfruits” to Yahweh. “The two kidneys (“apparatus, end”; mental reigns; #3629) and the fat (abundance) on them near the loins (“slender”; refined thoughts; #4975), and the fatty lobe (“redundant, exceed”; mental residue; #3508) to the liver (“heavy, severe”; grieving; 4*3516) above the kidneys, he shall remove.” (vs. 9)

Notice how the things that once weighed down and controlled the thoughts are offered up to Yahweh. “Just as they [weighty burdens] were removed from the bull (divisions) or cow (wandering) of the Peace Offering; and the priest shall burn these on the altar of the burnt offering.” (vs.10) Offered up to Yahweh as an act of reverence and internal remembrance leading to ascended (burnt) thinking. “But the bull’s hide (“naked, bare”; shame i – #5785), and all its flesh (“freshness”; raw thoughts; #1320), with its head (dominant thoughts) and its legs (stability), its entrails (purpose) and offal (waste), he shall carry (consciously deliver) the whole bull outside the camp (temporary mental dwelling), to the clean place where the ashes (sifting) are paved out, and burn it on wood (mental firmness) with fire (conviction)…” (verses 11 &12) The idea is that the root cause of the mental division is removed from the front seat of consciousness and sacrificed apart from the Most Holy Place within. Confessions lead to the leaving behind of former destructive thought patterns.

As for the Sin offering for the whole congregation (verses 13-21) the sacrifice is the same as with the priests with a few distinct differences. At verse 15 we see that it will not be the priest who lays his hand (ability to grasp) on the bull, but instead the elders (“old”; seasoned thoughts; #2205). And for the sin of the ruler (verses 22-26) it also follows suit with the priests’ mandates, but with slight differences as well. At verse 23 we see that it is not a bull but a male goat (“shaggy, fear”‘ wickedness; #8163) that is to be slaughtered. And as for the other members of the congregation (verses 27-35) the mandates as well are the same as the priests, with slight differences. At verse 28 and then verse 32 we can see that either a female (“puncture, perforate”; mental libel: #5347) goat (wickedness) or lamb (resistance) can be offered up.
