20 You are to take some of its blood and put it on the projections on the top corners of the altar, and on the corners of the middle section of the altar, and all round its edges. In this way you will purify the altar and consecrate it.
21 You are to take the bull that is offered as a sacrifice for sin and burn it at the specified place outside the temple area.
22 The next day you are to take a male goat without any defects and offer it as a sacrifice for sin. Purify the altar with its blood in the same way as you did with the bull.
23 When you have finished doing that, take a young bull and a young ram, both of them without any defects,
24 and bring them to me. The priests will sprinkle salt on them and burn them as an offering to me.
25 Each day for seven days you are to offer a goat, a bull, and a ram as sacrifices for sin. All of them must be without any defects.
26 For seven days the priests are to consecrate the altar and make it ready for use.
