Settings

11 He sprinkled some of it on the altar seven times and anointed the altar and all its utensils, and the basin and its stand, to 1consecrate them.
12 Then he poured some of the 2anointing oil on Aaron's head and anointed him, to consecrate him.
13 3Next Moses had Aaron's sons come near and clothed them with tunics, and girded them with sashes and bound caps on them, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
14 Then he brought 4the bull of the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the bull of the sin offering.
15 Next Moses slaughtered it and took the blood and with his finger 5put some of it around on the horns of the altar, and purified the altar. Then he poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar and consecrated it, to make atonement for it.
16 He also 6took all the fat that was on the entrails and the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys and their fat; and Moses offered it up in smoke on the altar.
17 7But the bull and its hide and its flesh and its refuse he burned in the fire outside * the camp, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
18 Then he presented 8the ram of 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 around on the altar.
20 When he had cut the ram into its pieces, Moses 9offered up the head and the pieces and the suet in smoke.
21 After he had washed the entrails and the legs with water, Moses 10offered up the whole ram in smoke on the altar. It was a burnt offering for a soothing aroma; it was an offering by fire to the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
