10 “Bring the bull to the front of the tent of meeting, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on its head.(A) 11 Slaughter it in the Lord’s presence(B) at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 12 Take some of the bull’s blood and put it on the horns(C) of the altar with your finger, and pour out the rest of it at the base of the altar.(D) 13 Then take all the fat(E) on the internal organs,(F) the long lobe of the liver, and both kidneys with the fat on them, and burn them on the altar. 14 But burn the bull’s flesh and its hide and its intestines(G) outside the camp.(H) It is a sin offering.[a]

15 “Take one of the rams,(I) and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on its head.(J) 16 Slaughter it and take the blood and splash it against the sides of the altar. 17 Cut the ram into pieces and wash(K) the internal organs and the legs, putting them with the head and the other pieces. 18 Then burn the entire ram on the altar. It is a burnt offering to the Lord, a pleasing aroma,(L) a food offering presented to the Lord.

19 “Take the other ram,(M) and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on its head.(N)
