as he did the blood of the bullock, ( Leviticus 8:15 ) .

Leviticus 8:19 In-Context

17 He burned up the bull with its hide, flesh, and dung outside the camp, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

18 Then he presented the ram for the burnt offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.

19 Moses slaughtered it and sprinkled the blood on all sides of the altar.

20 Moses cut the ram into pieces and burned the head, the pieces, and the suet,

21 but he washed the entrails and shanks with water. He then burned the entire ram on the altar. It was a burnt offering for a pleasing aroma, a fire offering to the Lord as He had commanded Moses.
