Exodus 29:17

15 Take one of the rams, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on its head.

16 You are to slaughter the ram, take its blood, and sprinkle it on all sides of the altar.

Cut the ram into pieces, wash the entrails and legs, and place them with its head and other pieces.

18 Then burn the entire ram on the altar; it is a burnt offering to the LORD, a pleasing aroma, an offering made by fire to the LORD.

19 Take the second ram, and Aaron and his sons are to lay their hands on its head.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
