10. Lead the bull to the entrance of the sacred tent, where Aaron and his sons will lay their hands on its head.

11. Kill the bull near my altar in front of the tent.

12. Use a finger to smear some of its blood on each of the four corners of the altar and pour out the rest of the blood on the ground next to the altar.

13. Then take the fat from the animal's insides, as well as the lower part of the liver and the two kidneys with their fat, and send them up in smoke on the altar.

14. But the meat, the skin, and the food still in the bull's stomach must be burnt outside the camp as an offering to ask forgiveness for the sins of the priests.

15. Bring one of the rams to Aaron and his sons and make them lay their hands on its head.

16. Kill the ram and splatter its blood against all four sides of the altar.

17. Cut up the ram, wash its insides and legs, and lay all its parts on the altar, including the head.

18. Then make sure that the whole animal goes up in smoke with a smell that pleases me.

19. Bring the other ram to Aaron and his sons and make them lay their hands on its head.

20. Kill the ram and place some of its blood on Aaron's right ear lobe, his right thumb, and the big toe of his right foot. Do the same for each of his sons and splatter the rest of the blood against the four sides of the altar.

21. Then take some of the blood from the altar, mix it with the oil used for ordination, and sprinkle it on Aaron and his clothes, and also on his sons and their clothes. This will show that they and their clothes have been dedicated to me.
