Avodas Chutz

The Kohain Gadol removed his linen garments, immersed himself in the Mikveh in the Bais Haparvah and put on the golden garments. He washed his hands and feet before removing one set of garments and after putting on the other.

He then offered the Korbonos Olah. He proceeded to the north side of the Mizbayach where he offered up two rams as Korbanos Olah. The Avodah involved in bringing these Korbanos included Shechitah, Kabalah, Holachah, and Zerikah of the blood on two corners of the Mizbayach, burning the parts on the Mizbayach and bringing the accompanying Korbanos Minchah and Nesachim. He also brought part of the Mussaf Korbanos at this time.

He then burned the innards of the bull and goat on the Mizbayach. He brought the receptacle containing the Aymurim (innards) of the bull and goat to the top of the outer Mizbayach and burned them. Then he prepared for the next set of Avodas P'nim.
