Exodus 29:31-38 Good News Bible (GNB)

31. “Take the meat of the ram used for the ordination of Aaron and his sons and boil it in a holy place.

32. At the entrance of the Tent of my presence they are to eat it along with the bread left in the basket.

33. They shall eat what was used in the ritual of forgiveness at their ordination. Only priests may eat this food, because it is sacred.

34. If some of the meat or some of the bread is not eaten by morning, it is to be burnt; it is not to be eaten, for it is sacred.

35. “Perform the rites of ordination for Aaron and his sons for seven days exactly as I have commanded you.

36. Each day you must offer a bull as a sacrifice, so that sin may be forgiven. This will purify the altar. Then anoint it with olive oil to make it holy.

37. Do this every day for seven days. Then the altar will be completely holy, and anyone or anything that touches it will be harmed by the power of its holiness.

38. “Every day for all time to come, sacrifice on the altar two one-year-old lambs.
