10You shall bring the bull before the tent of meeting, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the bull.

11You shall slaughter the bull before Yahweh at the entrance of the tent of meeting.

12And you shall take some of the blood of the bull and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger, and you shall pour out all the blood at the base of the altar.

13Then you shall take all the fat that covers the entrails, the lobe on the liver, the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, and you shall burn them on the altar.

14But the flesh of the bull, and its hide, and its dung, you shall burn with fire outside the camp; it is a sin offering.
