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.”

18 Thus saith the Lord God; In the first month, in the first day of the month, thou shalt take a young bullock without blemish, and cleanse the sanctuary:

19 And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering, and put it upon the posts of the house, and upon the four corners of the settle of the altar, and upon the posts of the gate of the inner court.

20 And so thou shalt do the seventh day of the month for every one that erreth, and for him that is simple: so shall ye reconcile the house.

21 In the first month, in the fourteenth day of the month, ye shall have the passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be eaten.

22 And upon that day shall the prince prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a bullock for a sin offering.

23 And seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt offering to the Lord, seven bullocks and seven rams without blemish daily the seven days; and a kid of the goats daily for a sin offering.

24 And he shall prepare a meat offering of an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and an hin of oil for an ephah.

25 In the seventh month, in the fifteenth day of the month, shall he do the like in the feast of the seven days, according to the sin offering, according to the burnt offering, and according to the meat offering, and according to the oil.
