Context of Leviticus 8:17

15and Moses slaughtered it. Moses took some of the blood, and with his finger he put it on the four horns of the altar to purify it. He poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar. Through this process, he made the altar holy by purifying it. 16Then Moses took all the fat around the internal organs, the long lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys and the fat around them, and he burned it all on the altar. He took the rest of the bull, including its hide, meat, and dung, and burned it on a fire outside the camp, just as the Lord had commanded him. 18Then Moses presented the ram for the burnt offering. Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the ram’s head, 19and Moses slaughtered it. Then Moses took the ram’s blood and splattered it against all sides of the altar.
