<p class="bodytext">&#8220;On the second day, you will offer a male goat without blemish for a sin offering. They will purify the altar just as they purified it with the bull.

<p class="poetry">&#8220;Certainly when<n id="1" /> I punish Israel for their<n id="2" /> covenant transgressions,<n id="3" />p> <p class="poetry">I will destroy<n id="4" /> Bethel&#8217;s<n id="5" /> altars.p> <p class="poetry">The horns<n id="6" /> of the altar will be cut off and fall to the ground.p>

<p class="bodytext">On that day the bells of the horses will bear the inscription &#8220;<sc>Holy to the Lordsc>.&#8221; The cooking pots in the <sc>Lordsc>&#8217;s temple<n id="1" /> will be as holy as the bowls in front of the altar.<n id="2" />

These must be on Aaron and his sons when they enter<n id="1" /> to the tent of meeting, or when they approach<n id="2" /> the altar to minister in the Holy Place, so that they bear no iniquity and die.<n id="3" /> It is to be a perpetual ordinance for him and for his descendants<n id="4" /> after him.<n id="5" />p>

and you are to kill the ram and take some of its blood and put it on the tip of the right ear of Aaron, on the tip of the right ear of his sons, on the thumb of their right hand, and on the big toe of their right foot,<n id="1" /> and then splash the blood all around on the altar.

You are to take some of the blood that is on the altar and some of the anointing oil and sprinkle it<n id="1" /> on Aaron, on his garments, on his sons, and on his sons&#8217; garments with him, so that he may be holy,<n id="2" /> he and his garments along with his sons and his sons&#8217; garments.p>

He made all the utensils of the altar &#8211; the pots, the shovels, the tossing bowls, the meat hooks, and the fire pans &#8211; he made all its utensils of bronze.

With it he made the bases for the door of the tent of meeting, the bronze altar, the bronze grating for it, and all the utensils of the altar,

Then the one presenting the offering<n id="1" /> must slaughter the bull<n id="2" /> before the <sc>Lord,sc> and the sons of Aaron, the priests, must present the blood and splash<n id="3" /> the blood against the sides of the altar which is at the entrance of the Meeting Tent.

He must lay his hand on the head of his offering and slaughter it before the Meeting Tent, and the sons of Aaron must splash<n id="1" /> its blood against the altar&#8217;s sides.

He must put some of the blood on the horns of the altar<n id="1" /> which is before the <sc>Lordsc> in the Meeting Tent, and all the rest of the blood he must pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering that is at the entrance of the Meeting Tent.p>

but the fire which is on the altar must be kept burning on it.<n id="1" /> It must not be extinguished. So the priest must kindle wood on it morning by morning, and he must arrange the burnt offering on it and offer the fat of the peace offering up in smoke on it.

and the priest<n id="1" /> must take up with his hand some of the choice wheat flour of the grain offering<n id="2" /> and some of its olive oil, and all of the frankincense that is on the grain offering, and he must offer its memorial portion<n id="3" /> up in smoke on the altar<n id="4" /> as a soothing aroma to the <sc>Lordsc>.<n id="5" />

Next he brought Aaron&#8217;s sons forward, and Moses put some of the blood on their right earlobes, on their right thumbs, and on the big toes of their right feet, and Moses splashed the rest of the blood against the altar&#8217;s sides.p>

Moses then said to Aaron, &#8220;Approach the altar and make your sin offering and your burnt offering, and make atonement on behalf of yourself and on behalf of the people;<n id="1" /> and also make the people&#8217;s offering and make atonement on behalf of them just as the <sc>Lordsc> has commanded.&#8221;p>

Then he slaughtered the ox and the ram &#8211; the peace offering sacrifices which were for the people &#8211; and Aaron&#8217;s sons handed<n id="1" /> the blood to him and he splashed it against the altar&#8217;s sides.

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then Moses spoke to Aaron and to Eleazar and Ithamar, his remaining sons, &#8220;Take the grain offering which remains from the gifts of the <sc>Lordsc> and eat it unleavened beside the altar, for it is most holy.

but he must not go into the veil-canopy<n id="1" /> or step forward to the altar because he has a physical flaw. Thus<n id="2" /> he must not profane my holy places, for I am the <sc>Lordsc> who sanctifies them.&#8217;&#8221;p>

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;&#8216;You must not present to the <sc>Lordsc> something blind, or with a broken bone, or mutilated, or with a running sore,<n id="1" /> or with a festering eruption, or with a feverish rash.<n id="2" /> You must not give any of these as a gift<n id="3" /> on the altar to the <sc>Lordsc>.

Then they must place on it all its implements with which they serve there &#8211; the trays, the meat forks, the shovels, the basins, and all the utensils of the altar &#8211; and they must spread on it a covering of fine leather, and then insert its poles.<n id="1" />p>
