18 ‘This is what the Lord God says: “In the (A)first month, on the first of the month, you shall take a [a]bull (B)without blemish and (C)cleanse the sanctuary from sin. 19 And the priest shall take some of the blood from the sin offering and put it on the door posts of the house, on the (D)four corners of the (E)ledge of the altar, and on the posts of the gate of the inner courtyard. 20 And you shall do this on the seventh day of the month for everyone who does (F)wrong inadvertently or is naive; so you shall make (G)atonement for the house.

21 “In the (H)first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, you shall have the (I)Passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be eaten. 22 On that day the prince shall provide for himself and all the people of the land a (J)bull as a sin offering. 23 And during the (K)seven days of the feast he shall provide as a (L)burnt offering to the Lord (M)seven bulls and seven rams without blemish on every day of the seven days, and a male goat daily as a sin offering. 24 And he shall provide as a (N)grain offering an [b]ephah [c]with a bull, an [d]ephah [e]with a ram, and a [f]hin of oil [g]with an ephah. 25 In the (O)seventh month, on the fifteenth day of the month, at the feast, he shall provide like these, seven days [h]for the sin offering, the burnt offering, the grain offering, and the oil.”
