16And you shall slaughter the ram, and take its blood and throw it against the altar all around.

17Then cut the ram into its pieces, wash its entrails and its legs, and put them on its pieces and on its head.

18And you shall burn the whole ram on the altar. It is a burnt offering to Yahweh, a pleasing aroma, a food offering to Yahweh.
