14 He then presented the bull(A) for the sin offering,(B) and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head.(C) 15 Moses slaughtered the bull and took some of the blood,(D) and with his finger he put it on all the horns of the altar(E) to purify the altar.(F) He poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar. So he consecrated it to make atonement for it.(G) 16 Moses also took all the fat around the internal organs, the long lobe of the liver, and both kidneys and their fat, and burned it on the altar. 17 But the bull with its hide and its flesh and its intestines(H) he burned up outside the camp,(I) as the Lord commanded Moses.

18 He then presented the ram(J) for the burnt offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head. 19 Then Moses slaughtered the ram and splashed the blood against the sides of the altar. 20 He cut the ram into pieces and burned the head, the pieces and the fat.(K) 21 He washed the internal organs and the legs with water and burned the whole ram on the altar. It was a burnt offering, a pleasing aroma, a food offering presented to the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.

22 He then presented the other ram, the ram for the ordination,(L) and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head.(M) 23 Moses slaughtered the ram and took some of its blood and put it on the lobe of Aaron’s right ear, on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot.(N) 24 Moses also brought Aaron’s sons forward and put some of the blood on the lobes of their right ears, on the thumbs of their right hands and on the big toes of their right feet. Then he splashed blood against the sides of the altar.(O) 25 After that, he took the fat(P), the fat tail, all the fat around the internal organs, the long lobe of the liver, both kidneys and their fat and the right thigh. 26 And from the basket of bread made without yeast, which was before the Lord, he took one thick loaf, one thick loaf with olive oil mixed in, and one thin loaf,(Q) and he put these on the fat portions and on the right thigh. 27 He put all these in the hands of Aaron and his sons, and they waved them before the Lord(R) as a wave offering. 28 Then Moses took them from their hands and burned them on the altar on top of the burnt offering as an ordination offering, a pleasing aroma, a food offering presented to the Lord. 29 Moses also took the breast, which was his share of the ordination ram,(S) and waved it before the Lord as a wave offering, as the Lord commanded Moses.

30 Then Moses(T) took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood from the altar and sprinkled them on Aaron and his garments(U) and on his sons and their garments. So he consecrated(V) Aaron and his garments and his sons and their garments.

31 Moses then said to Aaron and his sons, “Cook the meat at the entrance to the tent of meeting(W) and eat it there with the bread from the basket of ordination offerings, as I was commanded: ‘Aaron and his sons are to eat it.’ 32 Then burn up the rest of the meat and the bread. 33 Do not leave the entrance to the tent of meeting for seven days, until the days of your ordination are completed, for your ordination will last seven days.(X) 34 What has been done today was commanded by the Lord(Y) to make atonement for you. 35 You must stay at the entrance to the tent of meeting day and night for seven days and do what the Lord requires,(Z) so you will not die; for that is what I have been commanded.”

36 So Aaron and his sons did everything the Lord commanded through Moses.

So Aaron came to the altar and slaughtered the calf as a sin offering(A) for himself. His sons brought the blood to him,(B) and he dipped his finger into the blood and put it on the horns of the altar; the rest of the blood he poured out at the base of the altar.(C) 10 On the altar he burned the fat, the kidneys and the long lobe of the liver from the sin offering, as the Lord commanded Moses; 11 the flesh and the hide(D) he burned up outside the camp.(E)

12 Then he slaughtered the burnt offering.(F) His sons handed him the blood,(G) and he splashed it against the sides of the altar. 13 They handed him the burnt offering piece by piece, including the head, and he burned them on the altar.(H) 14 He washed the internal organs and the legs and burned them on top of the burnt offering on the altar.(I)

15 Aaron then brought the offering that was for the people.(J) He took the goat for the people’s sin offering and slaughtered it and offered it for a sin offering as he did with the first one.

16 He brought the burnt offering and offered it in the prescribed way.(K) 17 He also brought the grain offering, took a handful of it and burned it on the altar in addition to the morning’s burnt offering.(L)

18 He slaughtered the ox and the ram as the fellowship offering for the people.(M) His sons handed him the blood, and he splashed it against the sides of the altar. 19 But the fat portions of the ox and the ram—the fat tail, the layer of fat, the kidneys and the long lobe of the liver— 20 these they laid on the breasts, and then Aaron burned the fat on the altar. 21 Aaron waved the breasts and the right thigh before the Lord as a wave offering,(N) as Moses commanded.

22 Then Aaron lifted his hands toward the people and blessed them.(O) And having sacrificed the sin offering, the burnt offering and the fellowship offering, he stepped down.

23 Moses and Aaron then went into the tent of meeting.(P) When they came out, they blessed the people; and the glory of the Lord(Q) appeared to all the people. 24 Fire(R) came out from the presence of the Lord and consumed the burnt offering and the fat portions on the altar. And when all the people saw it, they shouted for joy and fell facedown.(S)
