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.’”
