31 και παν το στεαρ αυτου θελει αφαιρεσει, καθως αφαιρειται το στεαρ απο της θυσιας της ειρηνικης προσφορας· και θελει καυσει αυτο ο ιερευς επι του θυσιαστηριου εις οσμην ευωδιας προς τον Κυριον· και θελει καμει εξιλεωσιν υπερ αυτου ο ιερευς, και θελει συγχωρηθη εις αυτον.

10045. 'And you shall slaughter the ram' means preparation for purification of the internal man. This is clear from the meaning of 'slaughtering', when the subject is a sacrifice or a burnt offering, as preparation for purification, dealt with in 10024; and from the meaning of 'the ram' as in respect of the internal man, dealt with above in 10042.
