18 “This is what the Lord God says: In the first month, on the first day of the month, you are to take a young, unblemished bull and purify the sanctuary. 19 The priest must take some of the blood from the sin offering and apply it to the temple doorposts, the four corners of the altar’s ledge, and the doorposts of the gate to the inner court.(A) 20 You must do the same thing on the seventh day of the month for everyone who sins unintentionally or through ignorance.(B) In this way you will make atonement for the temple.

21 “In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, you are to celebrate the Passover, a festival of seven days during which unleavened bread will be eaten.(C) 22 On that day the prince will provide a bull as a sin offering on behalf of himself and all the people of the land. 23 During the seven days of the festival, he will provide seven bulls and seven rams without blemish as a burnt offering to the Lord on each of the seven days, along with a male goat each day for a sin offering. 24 He will also provide a grain offering of half a bushel[a] per bull and half a bushel per ram, along with a gallon[b] of oil for every half bushel. 25 At the festival that begins on the fifteenth day of the seventh month,[c](D) he will provide the same things for seven days—the same sin offerings, burnt offerings, grain offerings, and oil.

18 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘On the first month on the first day of the month, you shall take a bull, a calf[a] without defect, and you shall purify the sanctuary. 19 And the priest shall take from the blood of the sin offering, and he shall put it on the doorframe of the temple[b] and on the four corners of the ledge of the altar and on the doorframe of the gate of the inner courtyard. 20 And so you shall do on the seventh day in the month for anyone doing wrong inadvertently or due to ignorance, and so you must make atonement for the temple.[c]

21 In the first month, on the fourteenth[d] day of the month, you shall have the Passover, a feast lasting for seven days,[e] when you shall eat unleavened breads. 22 And the prince shall provide on that day for himself[f] and for all of the people of the land a bull as a sin offering. 23 And during the seven days of the religious feast he shall provide as a burnt offering to Yahweh seven bulls and seven rams without defect for each of the seven days, and as a sin offering a he-goat for each day. 24 And as a grain offering, an ephah for[g] the bull and an ephah for[h] the ram he must provide, and a hin of olive oil for each[i] ephah. 25 In the seventh month, on the fifteenth[j] day of the month, during the feast, he shall provide just as he has for these seven days, as he did for the sin offering, as he did for the burnt offering, and as he did for the grain offering, and as he did for the olive oil.’”
