Exodus 29:28-37 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

28. This is to be the regular share which the Israelites will always give to Aaron and his sons. This is the gift the Israelites must give to the Lord from their fellowship offerings.

29. “The holy clothes made for Aaron will belong to his descendants. They must wear these clothes when they are appointed as priests.

30. Aaron’s son will become high priest after Aaron. He will come to the Meeting Tent to serve in the Holy Place. He is to wear these clothes for seven days.

31. “Take the male sheep used to appoint priests. Boil its meat in a place made holy for serving me.

32. Then Aaron and his sons must eat the meat of the male sheep. They must do that at the entrance of the Meeting Tent. And they must also eat the bread that is in the basket.

33. These offerings were used to remove their sins when they were made priests so they would belong to God. Now they should eat these offerings. But no one else is to eat these things because they are holy.

34. If any of the meat from that male sheep or any of the bread is left the next morning, it must be burned. It shall not be eaten because it is holy.

35. “Do all these things that I commanded you to do to Aaron and his sons. You are to spend seven days appointing them.

36. Each day for seven days you are to offer a bull. This will remove the sins of Aaron and his sons so they will be given for service to the Lord. Make the altar ready for service to the Lord. Pour oil on it to make it holy.

37. Spend seven days making the altar ready for service to God and making it holy. Then the altar will become very holy. Anything that touches it must be holy.
