18 And he said unto me, Son of man, thus saith the Lord God; These are qthe ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer burnt offerings thereon, and rto sprinkle blood thereon. 19 And thou shalt give to sthe priests the Levites stthat be of the seed of Zadok, twhich approach unto me, to minister unto me, saith the Lord God, uva young bullock vfor a sin offering. 20 And wthou shalt take of the blood thereof, and wput it on mthe four horns of it, and on the four corners of xthe settle, and upon gythe border round about: thus zshalt thou cleanse and zzpurge it. 21 Thou shalt take vthe bullock also of the sin offering, and he ashall burn it in bthe appointed place of the house, awithout the sanctuary. 22 And on the second day thou shalt offer a kid of the goats without blemish for a sin offering; and zthey shall cleanse the altar, as they did cleanse it with the bullock. 23 When thou hast made an end of zcleansing it, thou shalt offer a young bullock without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish. 24 And thou shalt offer them before the Lord, and the priests cshall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering unto the Lord. 25 dSeven days shalt thou prepare every day a goat for a sin offering: they shall also prepare a young bullock, and a ram out of the flock, without blemish. 26 dSeven days shall they purge the altar and purify it; and they shall †consecrate themselves. 27 And when these edays are expired, it shall be, that fupon the eighth day, gand so forward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings upon the altar, and your ||hpeace offerings; and I will iaccept you, saith the Lord God.
