The Sacrifices

10 “Then you shall bring the bull in front of the tent of meeting, and Aaron and his sons shall (A)lay their hands on the head of the bull. 11 And you shall slaughter the bull before the Lord at the doorway of the tent of meeting. 12 Then you shall (B)take some of the blood of the bull and put it on (C)the horns of the altar with your finger; and you shall pour out all the rest of the blood at the base of the altar. 13 And you shall (D)take all the fat that covers the entrails, and the [a]lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys and the fat that is on them, and offer them up in smoke on the altar. 14 But (E)the flesh of the bull and its hide and its refuse, you shall burn with fire outside the camp; it is a sin offering.

15 (F)You shall also take the one ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram; 16 and you shall slaughter the ram and take its blood and sprinkle it around on the altar. 17 Then you shall cut the ram into its pieces, and wash its entrails and its legs, and put them [b]with its pieces and [c]its head. 18 And you shall offer up in smoke the whole ram on the altar; it is a burnt offering to the Lord: (G)it is a soothing aroma, an offering by fire to the Lord.
