Leviticus 8:14-29 - The Offerings For Consecration

14 Next, he brought the bull for a sin offering. Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the bull's head for a sin offering. 15 So Moses slaughtered it, took the blood, and applied some of it at the horns of the altar and around it with his fingers, thus purifying the altar. Then he poured the blood at the base of the altar, thereby sanctifying it as a means to make atonement with it. 16 Moses burned on the altar all the fat on the internal organs, the appendage on the liver, the two kidneys, and the fat. 17 As to the bull and its fat, skin, and offal, he incinerated them outside the camp, just as the LORD had commanded him.

18 Next, he brought the ram for the whole burnt offering. Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram, 19 and Moses slaughtered it and poured its blood over and around the altar. 20 As to the ram, he cut it into parts at the joints, burned the head, the internal organs, and the fat, 21 washed the internal organs and the thigh with water, and then burned the entire ram on the altar as a whole burnt offering, a pleasing aroma of an offering made by fire to the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded him.

22 Moses brought the ram that is, the second of the rams for consecration. Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram. 23 Moses then slaughtered it, took some of its blood, and put it on Aaron's right earlobe, right thumb, and right great toe. 24 Then Moses brought Aaron's sons, took some of the ram's blood, put it on their right earlobes, on their right thumbs, and on their right great toes, and then poured the blood on the altar and all around it. 25 Then he took the fat from the tail, all the fat on the internal organs, the appendage of the liver, the two kidneys with the fat, and the right thigh. 26 From the basket of unleavened bread that is in the LORD'S presence he took one piece of unleavened bread, one cake spread with olive oil, and one wafer, which he placed over the fat and the right thigh. 27 He put all of these things in the hands of Aaron and his sons, and they all waved them in a raised offering to the LORD. 28 After this, Moses took those things from their hands and burned them on the altar over the whole burnt offering for consecration. They served as a pleasing aroma, an offering made by fire to the LORD. 29 Moses took the breast and waved it as a raised offering in the LORD's presence as the portion that belonged to Moses from the ram of consecration, just as the LORD had commanded him.
