Exodus 29:19–34

¹⁹“Then ^ayou shall take the second ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram.

²⁰“You shall slaughter the ram, and take some of its blood and put it on the lobe of Aaron’s right ear and on the lobes of his sons’ right ears and on the thumbs of their right hands and on the big toes of their right feet, and splash the rest of the blood around on the altar.

²¹“Then you shall take some of the blood that is on the altar and some of the ^aanointing oil, and sprinkle it on Aaron and on his garments and on his sons and on his sons’ garments with him; so he and his garments shall be set apart as holy, as well as his sons and his sons’ garments with him.

²²“You shall also take the fat from the ram and the fat tail and the fat that covers the entrails and the ¹lobe of the liver and the two kidneys and the fat that is on them and the right thigh (for it is a ram of ²ordination),

²³and one cake of bread and ^aone cake of bread mixed with oil and one wafer from the basket of unleavened bread which is set before Yahweh;

²⁴and you shall put ¹all these ²in the ³hands of Aaron and ⁴in the ⁵hands of his sons, and you shall wave them as a wave offering before Yahweh.

²⁵“^aYou shall take them from their hands and offer them up in smoke on the altar on the burnt offering for a soothing aroma before Yahweh; it is an offering by fire to Yahweh.

²⁶“Then you shall take ^athe breast of Aaron’s ram of ¹ordination and wave it as a wave offering before Yahweh; and it shall be your portion.

²⁷“You shall set apart as holy the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the ¹contribution offering which was waved and which was ²raised up as a contribution from the ram of ³ordination, from the one which was for Aaron and from the one which was for his sons.

²⁸“It shall be for Aaron and his sons as a perpetual statute from the sons of Israel, for it is a ¹contribution offering; and it shall be a ²contribution offering from the sons of Israel from the sacrifices of their peace offerings, even their ³contribution offering to Yahweh.

²⁹“^aThe holy garments of Aaron shall be for his sons after him, ¹that in them they may be anointed and ordained.

³⁰“For seven days the one of his sons who is priest in his stead shall put them on when he comes into the tent of meeting to minister in the holy place.

Yahweh Will Meet and Speak to Israel

³¹“You shall take the ram of ¹ordination and ^aboil its flesh in a holy place.

³²“Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram and the bread that is in the basket, at the doorway of the tent of meeting.

³³“Thus ^athey shall eat ¹those things by which atonement was made ²to ordain them, ³to set them apart as holy; but a ^4blayman shall not eat them, because they are holy.

³⁴“^aIf any of the flesh of ¹ordination or any of the bread remains until morning, then you shall burn the remainder with fire; it shall not be eaten, because it is holy.
