16 He also 1took 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 2But 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 3the 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 4offered up the head and the pieces and the suet in smoke.
21 After he had washed the entrails and the legs with water, Moses 5offered 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.
22 Then he presented the second ram, 6the ram of ordination, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.
23 Moses slaughtered it and took some of its blood and 7put it on the lobe of Aaron's right ear, and on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot.
24 He also had Aaron's sons come near; and Moses put some of the blood on the lobe of their right ear, and on the thumb of their right hand and on the big toe of their right foot. Moses then 8sprinkled the rest of the blood around on the altar.
25 He took the fat, and the fat tail, and all the fat that was on the entrails, and the lobe of the liver and the two kidneys and their fat and the right thigh.
26 9From the basket of unleavened bread that was before the LORD, he took one unleavened cake and one cake of bread mixed with oil and one wafer, and placed them on the portions of fat and on the right thigh.
