14 He then presented the bull(A) for the sin offering,(B) and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head.(C) 15 Moses slaughtered the bull and took some of the blood,(D) and with his finger he put it on all the horns of the altar(E) to purify the altar.(F) He poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar. So he consecrated it to make atonement for it.(G) 16 Moses also took all the fat around the internal organs, the long lobe of the liver, and both kidneys and their fat, and burned it on the altar. 17 But the bull with its hide and its flesh and its intestines(H) he burned up outside the camp,(I) as the Lord commanded Moses.

18 He then presented the ram(J) for the burnt offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head. 19 Then Moses slaughtered the ram and splashed the blood against the sides of the altar. 20 He cut the ram into pieces and burned the head, the pieces and the fat.(K) 21 He washed the internal organs and the legs with water and burned the whole ram on the altar.

Then the anointed priest shall take some of the bull’s blood(H) and carry it into the tent of meeting. He is to dip his finger into the blood and sprinkle(I) some of it seven times before the Lord,(J) in front of the curtain of the sanctuary.(K) The priest shall then put some of the blood on the horns(L) of the altar of fragrant incense that is before the Lord in the tent of meeting. The rest of the bull’s blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar(M) of burnt offering(N) at the entrance to the tent of meeting. He shall remove all the fat(O) from the bull of the sin offering—all the fat that is connected to the internal organs, both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the long lobe of the liver, which he will remove with the kidneys(P) 10 just as the fat is removed from the ox[b](Q) sacrificed as a fellowship offering.(R) Then the priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering.(S) 11 But the hide of the bull and all its flesh, as well as the head and legs, the internal organs and the intestines(T) 12 that is, all the rest of the bull—he must take outside the camp(U) to a place ceremonially clean,(V) where the ashes(W) are thrown, and burn it(X) there in a wood fire on the ash heap.(Y)
