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.
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.
