17 But the bull, and its hide, its basar, and its dung, he burned with eish outside the machaneh; as Hashem commanded Moshe.
18 And he brought the ram for the olah (burnt offering); and Aharon and his Banim laid their hands upon the head of the ram.
19 And he slaughtered (shachat) it; and Moshe sprinkled the dahm upon the Mizbe’ach around.
20 And he cut the ram into pieces; and Moshe burned the head, and the pieces, and the chelev (fat).
21 And he washed the innards and the legs in mayim; and Moshe burned the whole ram upon the Mizbe’ach; it was an olah for a re’ach nicho’ach, and an offering made by eish unto Hashem; just as Hashem commanded Moshe.
