MEDITATION
Exodus 29:10-14
10 “You shall also have the bull brought before the tabernacle of meeting, and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands on the head of the bull.
11 Then you shall kill the bull before the LORD, by the door of the tabernacle of meeting.
12 You shall take some of the blood of the bull and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger, and pour all the blood beside the base of the altar.
13 And you shall take all the fat that covers the entrails, the fatty lobe attached to the liver, and the two kidneys and the fat that is on them, and burn them on the altar.
14 But the flesh of the bull, with its skin and its offal, you shall burn with fire outside the camp. It is a sin offering.

《出埃及记 29:10-14》
10 “你要把公牛牵到会幕前，亚伦和他儿子要按手在公牛的头上。
11 你要在耶和华面前，在会幕门口，宰这公牛。
12 要取些公牛的血，用指头抹在坛的四角上，把血都倒在坛脚那里。
13 要把一切盖脏的脂油与肝上的网子，并两个腰子和腰子上的脂油，都烧在坛上。14 只是公牛的皮、肉、粪都要用火烧在营外。这牛是赎罪祭。”
