2 Chronicles 29:22

So they killed the bullocks

21 They brought with them seven bulls, seven rams, seven lambs, and seven he-goats to sacrifice as an Absolution-Offering for the royal family, for the Sanctuary, and for Judah as a whole; he directed the Aaronite priests to sacrifice them on the Altar of God.
22 The priests butchered the bulls and then took the blood and sprinkled it on the Altar, and then the same with the rams and lambs.
23 Finally they brought the goats up; the king and congregation laid their hands upon them.
