Exodus 29:25-34 Common English Bible (CEB)

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.

33. They alone should eat the food that was used to purify them, to ordain them, and to make them holy. No one else should eat it because it is holy.

34. If any meat for the ordination or any of the bread is left over until morning, then you should burn the leftovers with fire. It shouldn’t be eaten because it’s holy.
