Exodus 29:4-15 Common English Bible (CEB)

4. Present Aaron and his sons at the entrance to the meeting tent and wash them with water.

5. Then take the priestly clothes and put them on Aaron: the tunic, the vest’s robe, the vest itself, and the chest pendant. Put the vest on him with the vest’s belt.

6. Set the turban on his head and place the holy crown on the turban.

7. Take the anointing oil and pour it on his head to anoint him.

8. Then present his sons and put the tunics on them.

9. Tighten the sashes on them, on both Aaron and his sons. Wrap the turbans on their heads. It will be a permanent regulation that the duties of priesthood belong to them. In this way, you will ordain Aaron and his sons.

10. Present the bull at the front of the meeting tent. Aaron and his sons will lay their hands on the bull’s head.

11. Then slaughter the bull in the Lord’s presence at the meeting tent’s entrance.

12. Take some of the bull’s blood and smear it on the altar’s horns with your finger. Pour out the rest of the blood at the altar’s base.

13. Then take all the fat that covers the inner organs, the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys along with the fat that is on them, and burn them up in smoke on the altar.

14. Burn the rest of the meat of the bull, its hide, and the intestines with their contents with a fire outside the camp. It is a purification offering.

15. Choose one of the rams, and have Aaron and his sons lay their hands on the ram’s head.
