Exodus 29:6-21 English Standard Version (ESV)

6. And you shall set the turban on his head and put the holy crown on the turban.

7. You shall take the anointing oil and pour it on his head and anoint him.

8. Then you shall bring his sons and put coats on them,

9. and you shall gird Aaron and his sons with sashes and bind caps on them. And the priesthood shall be theirs by a statute forever. Thus you shall ordain Aaron and his sons.

10. “Then you shall bring the bull before the tent of meeting. Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the bull.

11. Then you shall kill the bull before the Lord at the entrance of the tent of meeting,

12. and shall take part of the blood of the bull and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger, and the rest of the blood you shall pour out at the base of the altar.

13. And you shall take all the fat that covers the entrails, and the long lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them, and burn them on the altar.

14. But the flesh of the bull and its skin and its dung you shall burn with fire outside the camp; it is a sin offering.

15. “Then you shall take one of the rams, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram,

16. and you shall kill the ram and shall take its blood and throw it against the sides of the altar.

17. Then you shall cut the ram into pieces, and wash its entrails and its legs, and put them with its pieces and its head,

18. and burn the whole ram on the altar. It is a burnt offering to the Lord. It is a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the Lord.

19. “You shall take the other ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram,

20. and you shall kill the ram and take part of its blood and put it on the tip of the right ear of Aaron and on the tips of the right ears of his sons, and on the thumbs of their right hands and on the great toes of their right feet, and throw the rest of the blood against the sides of the altar.

21. Then you shall take part of the blood that is on the altar, and of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it on Aaron and his garments, and on his sons and his sons’ garments with him. He and his garments shall be holy, and his sons and his sons’ garments with him.
