¹⁸ “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: In early spring, on the first day of each new year,^[a] sacrifice a young bull with no defects to purify the Temple. ¹⁹ The priest will take blood from this sin offering and put it on the doorposts of the Temple, the four corners of the upper ledge of the altar, and the gateposts at the entrance to the inner courtyard. ²⁰ Do this also on the seventh day of the new year for anyone who has sinned through error or ignorance. In this way, you will purify^[b] the Temple.

²¹ “On the fourteenth day of the first month,^[c] you must celebrate the Passover. This festival will last for seven days. The bread you eat during that time must be made without yeast. ²² On the day of Passover the prince will provide a young bull as a sin offering for himself and the people of Israel. ²³ On each of the seven days of the feast he will prepare a burnt offering to the Lord, consisting of seven young bulls and seven rams without defects. A male goat will also be given each day for a sin offering. ²⁴ The prince will provide a basket of flour as a grain offering and a gallon of olive oil^[d] with each young bull and ram.

²⁵ “During the seven days of the Festival of Shelters, which occurs every year in early autumn,^[e] the prince will provide these same sacrifices for the sin offering, the burnt offering, and the grain offering, along with the required olive oil.
