20. Take some of the bull’s blood and put it on the four corners of the altar, on the four corners of the ledge, and all around the rim. This is how you will make the altar pure and ready for God’s service.
21. Then take the bull for the sin offering and burn it in the proper place in the Temple area, outside the Temple building.
22. “On the second day offer a male goat that has nothing wrong with it for a sin offering. The priests will make the altar pure and ready for God’s service as they did with the young bull.
23. When you finish making the altar pure and ready, offer a young bull and a male sheep from the flock, which have nothing wrong with them.
24. You must offer them in the presence of the Lord, and the priests are to throw salt on them and offer them as a burnt offering to the Lord.
25. “You must prepare a goat every day for seven days as a sin offering. Also, the priests must prepare a young bull and male sheep from the flock, which have nothing wrong with them.
26. For seven days the priests are to make the altar pure and ready for God’s service. Then they will give the altar to God.
27. After these seven days, on the eighth day, the priests must offer your burnt offerings and your fellowship offerings on the altar. Then I will accept you, says the Lord God.”
