^36 (A)Each day you shall offer a bull as a sin offering for atonement, and you shall ^[a]purify the altar when you make atonement ^[b]for it, and ^(B)you shall anoint it to consecrate it. ³⁷ For seven days you shall make atonement ^[c]for the altar and consecrate it; then ^(C)the altar shall be most holy, and whatever touches the altar shall be holy.

²⁹ You shall also consecrate them, so that they may be most holy; whatever touches them shall be holy.
