¹⁸ Moses led out the ram for the sacrifice to please the Lord.^[a] After Aaron and his sons had laid their hands on its head, ¹⁹ Moses killed the ram and splattered its blood against the four sides of the altar. ^20-21 Moses had the animal cut up, and he washed its insides and hind legs. Then he laid the head, the fat, and the rest of the ram on the altar and sent them up in smoke with a smell that pleased the Lord. All this was done just as the Lord had commanded.
