17 but he burned the bull and its skin and its meat and its offal in the fire {outside the camp}, [just] as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

18 Then he brought the ram of the burnt offering near, and Aaron and his sons placed their hands on the ram's head,

19 and he slaughtered [it]. Then Moses sprinkled the blood on the altar all around.

20 Then he cut the ram into pieces, and Moses turned into smoke the head and the pieces and the suet,

21 but he washed the inner parts and the lower leg bones with water, and Moses turned into smoke all of the ram on the altar; it [was] a burnt offering as an appeasing fragrance, an offering made by fire for Yahweh, [just] as Yahweh had commanded Moses.
