Cut the ram into pieces and wash the internal organs and the legs, putting them with the head and the other pieces. The preparation of the burnt offering involves cutting it into pieces and washing the internal organs and legs. The washing removes the contents of the digestive system — the practical preparation that makes the animal appropriate for the altar. Every part of the ram — head, pieces, washed organs and legs — is placed on the altar. The comprehensive preparation ensures that every part of the total offering is genuinely presented: the burnt offering leaves nothing behind, retains nothing, gives everything to God.
