Context of Leviticus 8:17

15Moses killed the bull. He put his finger in the blood. He put the blood on the horns of the altar. That made it holy. Moses poured out the blood that he had not used. He poured it onto the floor in front of the altar. This is how he made the altar ready to make sacrifices. 16He burnt the fat and the kidneys and the best piece of the liver on the altar. Moses burnt the meat with the inside parts and the skin of the bull outside the camp. The Lord had said that Moses must do this. 18Moses brought a male sheep to burn as a gift to God. Aaron and his sons put their hands on the sheep's head. 19Moses killed the sheep. He threw the blood onto the sides of the altar.
