¹⁸ “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: In the first month, on the first day of the month, you must take an unblemished young bull and purify the sanctuary. ¹⁹ The priest will take some of the blood of the sin offering and place it on the doorpost of the temple, on the four corners of the ledge of the altar, and on the doorpost of the gate of the inner court. ²⁰ This is what you must do on the seventh day of the month for anyone who sins inadvertently or through ignorance; so you will make atonement for the temple.

²¹ “‘In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, you will celebrate the Passover, and for the seven days of the festival bread made without yeast will be eaten. ²² On that day the prince will provide for himself and for all the people of the land a bull for a sin offering. ²³ And during the seven days of the feast he will provide as a burnt offering to the Lord seven bulls and seven rams, all without blemish, on each of the seven days, and a male goat daily for a sin offering. ²⁴ He will provide as a grain offering an ephah for each bull, an ephah for each ram, and a gallon^[a] of olive oil for each ephah of grain.^{[b] 25} In the seventh month, on the fifteenth day of the month, at the feast,^[c] he will make the same provisions for the sin offering, burnt offering, and grain offering, and for the olive oil, for the seven days.
