Pour out all the remaining blood at the base of the altar. 13 Then take all the fat that covers the entrails, the lobe of the liver, the two kidneys with the fat on them, and burn them on the altar. 14 But burn the flesh of the bull, its hide, and its refuse outside the camp. It is a sin offering. 15 Take one of the rams, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on its head. 16 Slaughter the ram, take its blood, and sprinkle it around the altar. 17 Cut the ram into pieces, wash its entrails and legs, and place them with its head and other pieces. 18 Then burn the entire ram on the altar. It is a burnt offering to the Lord, a pleasing aroma, an offering made by fire to the Lord. 19 Then take the second ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on its head. 20 Slaughter the ram, take some of its blood, and put it on the lobe of Aaron’s right ear, on the lobes of his sons’ right ears, and on the thumbs of their right hands and the big toes of their right feet. Sprinkle the remaining blood around the altar. 21 Take some of the blood on the altar and some of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it on Aaron and his garments, and also on his sons and their garments.

But no outsider shall eat them, because they are holy. 34 If any of the meat of ordination or bread is left until morning, you must burn it, for it may not be eaten because it is holy. 35 Do for Aaron and his sons everything I have commanded you, taking seven days to ordain them. 36 Each day you shall offer a bull as a sin offering for atonement. Purify the altar when you make atonement for it, and anoint it to consecrate it. 37 For seven days you shall make atonement for the altar and consecrate it. Then the altar will become most holy, and whatever touches the altar will be holy.

Turn from your burning anger and relent concerning this disaster against your people. 13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants to whom you swore by yourself: 'I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heavens, and I will give your descendants all this land that I have promised, and they shall inherit it forever.' 14 So the LORD relented concerning the disaster He had said He would bring on His people.

He tied the skillfully woven band of the ephod around him, securing it in place. 8 He placed the breastpiece on Aaron and put the Urim and Thummim into the breastpiece. 9 He set the turban on his head and placed the golden plate, the holy crown, on the front of the turban, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 10 Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the tabernacle and everything in it, consecrating them. 11 He sprinkled some of the oil on the altar seven times, anointed the altar and all its utensils, the basin, and its stand, to consecrate them. 12 He poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron's head and anointed him to consecrate him. 13 Then Moses brought Aaron's sons forward, clothed them with tunics, tied sashes around them, and wrapped headpieces on them, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 14 Moses brought forward the bull for the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head. 15 Moses slaughtered the bull, took some of its blood, and with his finger applied it to the horns of the altar on all sides, purifying the altar. He poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar to consecrate it, making atonement for it. 16 Moses took all the fat that was on the entrails, the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, and burned them on the altar. 17 As for the rest of the bull—its hide, its flesh, and its dung—he burned it outside the camp, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 18 Moses presented the ram for the burnt offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head. 19 Moses slaughtered the ram and splashed the blood on all sides of the altar. 20 He cut the ram into pieces and burned the head, the pieces, and the fat. 21 He washed the entrails and the legs with water and burned the whole ram on the altar as a burnt offering, a pleasing aroma, a fire offering to the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 22 Moses presented the second ram, the ram of ordination, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head. 23 Moses slaughtered the ram and took some of its blood, applying it to the lobe of Aaron’s right ear, the thumb of his right hand, and the big toe of his right foot. 24 Then Moses brought forward Aaron’s sons and applied some of the blood to the lobes of their right ears, the thumbs of their right hands, and the big toes of their right feet. He splashed the remaining blood on all sides of the altar. 25 Moses took the fat, the fat tail, all the fat around the entrails, the lobe of the liver, the two kidneys with their fat, and the right thigh. 26 From the basket of unleavened bread that was before the Lord, Moses took one unleavened cake, one cake of bread made with oil, and one wafer. He placed them on the fat portions and on the right thigh. 27 He put all these in the hands of Aaron and his sons and waved them as a presentation offering before the Lord. 28 Then Moses took them back from their hands and burned them on the altar along with the burnt offering. They were an ordination offering, a pleasing aroma, a fire offering to the Lord. 29 Moses took the breast and waved it as a presentation offering before the Lord. It was Moses' portion of the ram of ordination, as the Lord had commanded him. 30 Moses took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood from the altar and sprinkled them on Aaron and his garments, as well as on his sons and their garments. So he consecrated Aaron, his garments, his sons, and their garments.
• Num 14:13-20 : 13 But Moses said to the LORD, "The Egyptians will hear about it! By your power you brought these people up from among them. 14 They will tell the inhabitants of this land about it. They have already heard that you, LORD, are among these people, that you, LORD, have been seen face to face, that your cloud stays over them, and that you go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. 15 If you put all these people to death as one man, the nations who have heard about your fame will say, 16 'The LORD was not able to bring these people into the land he promised them on oath, so he slaughtered them in the wilderness.' 17 Now may the Lord's strength be displayed, just as you have declared: 18 'The LORD is slow to anger, abundant in steadfast love, forgiving iniquity and rebellion; yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished, bringing the consequences of the fathers' iniquity upon the children to the third and fourth generation.' 19 Please pardon the iniquity of this people, according to the greatness of your steadfast love, just as you have forgiven them from Egypt until now. 20 The LORD replied, 'I have forgiven them, as you asked.'

But on that day, the LORD thundered with a mighty sound against the Philistines and threw them into such a panic that they were defeated before Israel. 11 The men of Israel rushed out of Mizpah and pursued the Philistines, striking them down all the way to a point below Beth-car. 12 Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen, naming it Ebenezer, saying, 'Thus far, the LORD has helped us.'
• 1 Sam 12:18-24 : 18 So Samuel called to the LORD, and the LORD sent thunder and rain that day, and all the people greatly feared the LORD and Samuel. 19 The people all said to Samuel, 'Pray to the LORD your God for your servants, so that we will not die, for we have added this evil to all our sins by asking for a king.' 20 Samuel said to the people, 'Do not be afraid. You have done all this evil, yet do not turn away from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart.' 21 Do not turn aside, for you would be following things that are worthless and cannot benefit or deliver you, for they are meaningless. 22 For the LORD will not abandon His people for the sake of His great name, because it has pleased the LORD to make you His people. 23 As for me, far be it from me to sin against the LORD by ceasing to pray for you. Instead, I will instruct you in the good and upright way. 24 Only fear the LORD and serve Him faithfully with all your heart. Consider what great things He has done for you.
