15 “Then take the one ram, and Aaron and his sons are to lay their hands on the ram’s head.+ 16 Slaughter the ram and take its blood and sprinkle it on all sides of the altar.+ 17 Cut the ram into its pieces, and wash its intestines+ and its shanks, and arrange the pieces together with its head. 18 You must burn the entire ram, making it smoke on the altar. It is a burnt offering to Jehovah, a pleasing* aroma.+ It is an offering made by fire to Jehovah.

4 He is to lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will be accepted in his behalf to make atonement for him.
