Exodus 29:3-17 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

3. And, having placed them in baskets, you shall offer them, along with the calf and the two rams.

4. And you shall bring forward Aaron and his sons, to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony. And when you will have washed the father with his sons in water,

5. you shall clothe Aaron in his vestments, that is, with the linen, and the tunic, and the ephod, and the breastplate, which you shall draw together with the wide belt.

6. And you shall place the headdress on his head and the holy plate upon the headdress.

7. And you shall pour the oil of unction over his head. And so, by this rite, he shall be consecrated.

8. Likewise, you shall bring forward his sons, and you shall clothe them in the linen tunics, and wrap them with the wide belt:

9. Aaron, certainly, as well as his sons. And you shall impose headdresses upon them. And they shall be priests to me by a perpetual ordinance. After you have initiated their hands,

10. you shall bring forward also the calf, in the presence of the tabernacle of the testimony. And Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands upon its head.

11. And you shall sacrifice it in the sight of the Lord, beside the door of the tabernacle of the testimony.

12. And taking some of the blood of the calf, you shall place it upon the horns of the altar with your finger, but the remainder of the blood you shall pour next to its base.

13. And you shall take all the fat which covers its intestines, and the mesh of the liver, as well as the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, and you shall offer them as a burnt offering upon the altar.

14. Yet truly, the flesh of the calf, and the hide and the dung, you shall burn outside, beyond the camp, because it is for sin.

15. Likewise, you shall take one ram, and upon its head Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands.

16. And when you will have sacrificed it, you shall take from its blood and pour it around the altar.

17. Then you shall cut the ram into pieces, and, having washed its intestines and feet, you shall place these upon the cut-up flesh and upon its head.
