Herren fikk Moses’ oppmerksomhet og snakket til ham da han var i samlingsteltet der Gud pleide å åpenbare seg. Gud sa: «Du skal samle Israels folk og si dette til dem: Når noen av dere vil ofre et dyr til Meg, Herren, skal dere gjøre det slik: Dere skal hente dyret fra flokken deres, et stort eller lite dyr. Hvis det er en okse, skal den være feilfri. Still dyret ved døråpningen av dette teltet. Han som vil ofre dyret, skal legge hånden sin på dyrets hode før det blir ofret. På den måten kan dyret dø i hans sted, som en soning for hans synder. Han skal slakte den unge oksen foran Herren. Arons sønner – de som er prester – skal komme fram med dyrets blod og helle det rundt på alteret som står innenfor døra til åpenbaringsteltet.
