Leviticus 8:16-24 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

16. Moses took all the fat from the inner organs of the bull. He took the best part of the liver. And he took both kidneys and the fat on them. Then he burned them on the altar.

17. But he took the bull’s skin, its meat and its intestines outside the camp. He burned them in a fire outside the camp. Moses did all these things as the Lord had commanded him.

18. Next Moses brought the male sheep of the burnt offering. Aaron and his sons put their hands on its head.

19. Then Moses killed it. He sprinkled the blood on all sides of the altar.

20. Moses cut the male sheep into pieces. And he burned the head, the pieces and the fat.

21. He washed the inner organs and legs with water. Then he burned the whole sheep on the altar. It was a burnt offering made by fire to the Lord. Its smell was pleasing to the Lord. Moses did these things as the Lord had commanded him.

22. Then Moses brought the other male sheep. It was used in appointing Aaron and his sons as priests. They put their hands on its head.

23. Then Moses killed the sheep. He put some of its blood on the bottom of Aaron’s right ear. He put some on the thumb of Aaron’s right hand. And he put some on the big toe of his right foot.

24. Then Moses brought Aaron’s sons close to the altar. He put some of the blood on the bottom of their right ears. He put it on the thumbs of their right hands. And he put it on the big toes of their right feet. Then he sprinkled blood on all sides of the altar.
