22 So they slew the bullocks, and the Priests received the blood, and [a]sprinkled it upon the altar: they slew also the rams, and sprinkled the blood upon the altar, and they slew the lambs, and they sprinkled the blood upon the altar.

23 Then they brought the he goats for the sin offering before the king and the Congregation, [b]and they laid their hands upon them.

24 And the Priests slew them, and with the blood of them they cleansed the altar to reconcile all Israel: for the king had commanded for all Israel the burnt offering, and the sin offering.
