Exodus 29:3-16 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

3. and put them in a basket. Take the basket of them along with the bull and the two rams.

4. Aaron and his sons you shall also bring to the entrance of the tent of meeting, and there wash them with water.

5. Take the vestments and clothe Aaron with the tunic, the robe of the ephod, the ephod itself, and the breastpiece, fastening the embroidered belt of the ephod around him.

6. Put the turban on his head, the sacred diadem on the turban.

7. Then take the anointing oil and pour it on his head, and anoint him.

8. Bring forward his sons also and clothe them with the tunics,

9. gird them with the sashes, and tie the skullcaps on them. Thus shall the priesthood be theirs by a perpetual statute, and thus shall you install Aaron and his sons.

10. Now bring forward the bull in front of the tent of meeting. There Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on its head.

11. Then slaughter the bull before the Lord, at the entrance of the tent of meeting.

12. Take some of its blood and with your finger put it on the horns of the altar. All the rest of the blood you shall pour out at the base of the altar.

13. All the fat that covers its inner organs, as well as the lobe of its liver and its two kidneys, together with the fat that is on them, you shall take and burn on the altar.

14. But the meat and hide and dung of the bull you must burn up outside the camp, since this is a purification offering.

15. Then take one of the rams, and after Aaron and his sons have laid their hands on its head,

16. slaughter it. The blood you shall take and splash on all the sides of the altar.
