Exodus 29:21-34 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

21. Take some of the blood that is on the altar and some of the anointing oil, and sprinkle them on Aaron and his garments, as well as on his sons and their garments. In this way, he and his garments will become holy, as well as his sons and their garments.

22. “Take the fat from the ram, the fat tail, the fat covering the entrails, the fatty lobe of the liver, the two kidneys and the fat on them, and the right thigh (since this is a ram for ordination );

23. take one loaf of bread, one cake of bread made with oil, and one wafer from the basket of unleavened bread that is before the Lord;

24. and put all of them in the hands of Aaron and his sons and wave them as a presentation offering before the Lord.

25. Take them from their hands and burn them on the altar on top of the burnt offering, as a pleasing aroma before the Lord; it is a fire offering to the Lord.

26. “Take the breast from the ram of Aaron’s ordination and wave it as a presentation offering before the Lord; it is to be your portion.

27. Consecrate for Aaron and his sons the breast of the presentation offering that is waved and the thigh of the contribution that is lifted up from the ram of ordination.

28. This will belong to Aaron and his sons as a regular portion from the Israelites, for it is a contribution. It will be the Israelites’ contribution from their fellowship sacrifices, their contribution to the Lord.

29. “The holy garments that belong to Aaron are to belong to his sons after him, so that they can be anointed and ordained in them.

30. Any priest who is one of his sons and who succeeds him and enters the tent of meeting to minister in the sanctuary must wear them for seven days.

31. “You are to take the ram of ordination and boil its flesh in a holy place.

32. Aaron and his sons are to eat the meat of the ram and the bread that is in the basket at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

33. They must eat those things by which atonement was made at the time of their ordination and consecration. An unauthorized person must not eat them, for these things are holy.

34. If any of the meat of ordination or any of the bread is left until morning, burn up what is left over. It must not be eaten because it is holy.
