Leviticus 8:14-26 New Living Translation (NLT)

14. Then Moses presented the bull for the sin offering. Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the bull’s head,

15. and Moses slaughtered it. Moses took some of the blood, and with his finger he put it on the four horns of the altar to purify it. He poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar. Through this process, he made the altar holy by purifying it.

16. Then Moses took all the fat around the internal organs, the long lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys and the fat around them, and he burned it all on the altar.

17. He took the rest of the bull, including its hide, meat, and dung, and burned it on a fire outside the camp, just as the lord had commanded him.

18. Then Moses presented the ram for the burnt offering. Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the ram’s head,

19. and Moses slaughtered it. Then Moses took the ram’s blood and splattered it against all sides of the altar.

20. Then he cut the ram into pieces, and he burned the head, some of its pieces, and the fat on the altar.

21. After washing the internal organs and the legs with water, Moses burned the entire ram on the altar as a burnt offering. It was a pleasing aroma, a special gift presented to the lord, just as the lord had commanded him.

22. Then Moses presented the other ram, which was the ram of ordination. Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the ram’s head,

23. and Moses slaughtered it. Then Moses took some of its blood and applied it to the lobe of Aaron’s right ear, the thumb of his right hand, and the big toe of his right foot.

24. Next Moses presented Aaron’s sons and applied some of the blood to the lobes of their right ears, the thumbs of their right hands, and the big toes of their right feet. He then splattered the rest of the blood against all sides of the altar.

25. Next Moses took the fat, including the fat of the broad tail, the fat around the internal organs, the long lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys and the fat around them, along with the right thigh.

26. On top of these he placed a thin cake of bread made without yeast, a cake of bread mixed with olive oil, and a wafer spread with olive oil. All these were taken from the basket of bread made without yeast that was placed in the lord’s presence.
