Leviticus 8:15-28 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

15. he immolated it. And drawing the blood, and dipping his finger in it, he touched the horns of the altar all around. And when it was expiated and sanctified, he poured out the remainder of the blood at its base.

16. Yet truly, the fat which was on the vital organs, and the mesh of the liver, and the two little kidneys with their fat, he burned upon the altar.

17. And the calf with the skin, and the flesh, and the dung, he burned beyond the camp, just as the Lord had instructed.

18. He also offered a ram as a holocaust. And when Aaron and his sons had imposed their hands upon its head,

19. he immolated it, and he poured out its blood around the altar.

20. And cutting the ram into pieces, he burned its head, and the limbs, and the fat in the fire,

21. having first washed the intestines and the feet. And then he burned the whole of the ram upon the altar, because it was a holocaust of most sweet odor to the Lord, just as he had instructed him.

22. He also offered the second ram, as a consecration of priests. And Aaron and his sons placed their hands upon its head.

23. And when Moses had immolated it, taking up some of its blood, he touched the tip of Aaron's right ear, and the thumb of his right hand, and similarly also his foot.

24. He also offered the sons of Aaron. And when, from the blood of the ram which was immolated, he had touched the tip of the right ear of each one, and the thumbs of their right hands, as well as their feet, he poured out the remainder upon the altar all around.

25. Yet truly, the fat, and the rump, and all the fat that covers the intestines, and the mesh of the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, and the right shoulder, he separated.

26. Then, taking bread without leaven from the basket of unleavened bread, which was before the Lord, and a cake sprinkled with oil, and a wafer, he placed them upon the fat and the right shoulder,

27. delivering all these to Aaron and his sons. And when they had lifted them up in the sight of the Lord,

28. he received them again from their hands, and he burned them upon the altar of holocaust, because it was an oblation of consecration, as a sweet odor of sacrifice to the Lord.
