And Moses said: 'This is the thing which the commanded that ye should do; that the glory of the  may appear unto you.' And Moses said unto Aaron: 'Draw near unto the altar, and offer thy sin-offering, and thy burnt-offering, and make atonement for thyself, and for the people; and present the offering of the people, and make atonement for them; as the  commanded.' So Aaron drew near unto the altar, and slew the calf of the sin-offering, which was for himself. And the sons of Aaron presented the blood unto him; and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the base of the altar. But the fat, and the kidneys, and the lobe of the liver of the sin-offering, he made smoke upon the altar; as the commanded Moses. And the flesh and the skin were burnt with fire without the camp. And he slew the burnt-offering; and Aaron's sons delivered unto him the blood, and he dashed it against the altar round about.
