^8:16Then he²² took all the fat on the entrails, the protruding lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys and their fat,²³ and Moses offered it all up in smoke on the altar,²⁴^8:17but the rest of the bull—its hide, its flesh, and its dung—he completely burned up²⁵ outside the camp just as the Lord had commanded Moses.²⁶

^8:18Then he presented the burnt offering ram and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram, ^8:19and he slaughtered it.²⁷ Moses then splashed the blood against the altar’s sides. ^8:20Then he²⁸ cut the ram into parts,²⁹ and Moses offered the head, the parts, and the suet up in smoke, ^8:21but the entrails and the legs he washed with water,³⁰ and Moses offered the whole ram up in smoke on the altar—it was a burnt offering for a soothing aroma, a gift to the Lord, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.³¹

^8:22Then he presented the second ram, the ram of ordination,³² and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram ^8:23and he slaughtered it.³³ Moses then took some of its blood and put it on Aaron’s right earlobe,³⁴ on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe³⁵ of his right foot.
