Exodus

Exodus 29:15–18

¹⁵Take one of the rams, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on its head. ¹⁶You are to slaughter the ram, take its blood, and splatter it on all sides of the altar. ¹⁷Cut the ram into pieces, wash the entrails and legs, and place them with its head and other pieces. ¹⁸Then burn the entire ram on the altar; it is a burnt offering to the LORD, a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the LORD.
