Exodus 29:35-46 Common English Bible (CEB)

35. Treat Aaron and his sons just as I have commanded you. Ordain them for seven days.

36. Every day you should offer a bull as a purification offering for reconciliation. You should remove the sin from the altar through a ritual of reconciliation, and you should anoint the altar to make it holy.

37. Seven days you should perform the ritual of reconciliation for the altar and make it holy. In this way, the altar will become most holy, and whatever touches the altar will also become holy.

38. Now this is what you should offer on the altar: two one-year-old lambs regularly every day.

39. Offer one lamb in the morning and offer the other lamb at twilight.

40. With the first lamb, add one-tenth of a measure of the high-quality flour mixed with a quarter of a hin of oil from crushed olives and a quarter of a hin of wine for a drink offering.

41. With the second lamb offered at twilight, again include a grain offering and its drink offering as in the morning as a soothing smell, a gift offering for the Lord.

42. This should be the regular entirely burned offering in every generation at the meeting tent’s entrance in the Lord’s presence. There I will meet with you, and there I will speak to you.

43. I will meet with the Israelites there, and it will be made holy by my glorious presence.

44. I will make the meeting tent and the altar holy. Likewise, I will make Aaron and his sons holy to serve me as priests.

45. I will be at home among the Israelites, and I will be their God.

46. They will know that I am the Lord their God, who brought them out of the land of Egypt so that I could make a home among them. I am the Lord their God.
