16. Then slaughter the ram. Take its blood and throw it against all the altar’s sides.
17. Cut up the ram into parts. Wash its inner organs and legs, and put them together with its parts and its head.
18. Then turn the entire ram into smoke by burning it on the altar. It is an entirely burned offering for the Lord, a soothing smell, a food gift for the Lord.
19. Take the second ram, and have Aaron and his sons lay their hands on the ram’s head.
20. Slaughter the ram. Take some of its blood and smear it on the right earlobes of Aaron and his sons, on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet. Throw the rest of the blood against all the altar’s sides.
21. Then take some of the blood on the altar and some of the anointing oil and sprinkle them on Aaron and on his clothes and on his sons and on his sons’ clothes. In this way, Aaron, his sons, and all their priestly garments will be holy.
22. Take the fatty parts of the ram: the fat tail, the fat around the inner organs, the lobe of the liver, the two kidneys with the fat around them, and the right thigh (because it is a ram for ordination).
23. Add one loaf of bread, one flatbread made with oil, and one wafer from the basket of unleavened bread that was presented to the Lord.
24. Place all of these in the hands of Aaron and his sons, and lift them as an uplifted offering in the Lord’s presence.
25. Then take them from their hands and turn them into smoke by burning them on the altar with the entirely burned offering as a soothing smell in the Lord’s presence. It is a food gift for the Lord.
26. Take the breast of the ram for Aaron’s ordination and lift it as an uplifted offering in the Lord’s presence. It will be your portion.
27. Make holy the breast that was lifted for the uplifted offering and the thigh that was raised for the gift offering from the ram for the ordination. They belong to Aaron and his sons.
28. Those parts will be given to Aaron and his sons from the Israelites as a permanent provision, because they are a gift offering. They will be a gift offering from the Israelites, their gift offering to the Lord from their well-being sacrifices.
29. Aaron’s holy clothes should be passed on to his sons after him. His sons should be anointed in them and ordained in them.
30. The son who is priest in his place should wear them seven days when he comes into the meeting tent to minister in the sanctuary.
31. Take the ram for the ordination and boil its meat in a holy place.
32. Aaron and his sons will eat the ram’s meat and the bread that is in the basket at the meeting tent’s entrance.
