Leviticus 8:14-24

14 Next he brought the bullock of the sin, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the bullock of the sin,
15 and he slew it; and Moses took the blood and put it upon the horns of the altar round about with his finger and removed the sin from the altar and poured the remaining blood at the bottom of the altar and sanctified it, to make reconciliation upon it.
16 After that he took all the fat that was upon the intestines and the caul above the liver and the two kidneys, and their fat, and Moses incensed it upon the altar.
17 But the bullock and its hide, its flesh, and its dung, he burnt with fire outside the camp, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
18 After that, he brought the ram of the burnt offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram,
19 and he killed it; and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about.
20 And he cut the ram into pieces, and Moses incensed the head and the pieces and the fat.
21 Then he washed the intestines and the legs in water, and Moses burnt the whole ram upon the altar; it was a burnt sacrifice in a very acceptable aroma, an offering on fire unto the LORD, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
22 After that, he brought the other ram, the ram of the consecrations, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram,
23 and he slew it; and Moses took of the blood of it and put it upon the tip of Aaron’s right ear and upon the thumb of his right hand and upon the great toe of his right foot.
24 And he brought Aaron’s sons, and Moses put of the blood upon the tip of their right ears and upon the thumbs of their right hands and upon the great toes of their right feet; and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about;
