Exodus 29:31-39 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

31. You shall take the installation ram and boil its meat in a holy place.

32. At the entrance of the tent of meeting Aaron and his sons shall eat the meat of the ram and the bread that is in the basket.

33. They themselves are to eat of these things by which atonement was made at their installation and consecration; but no unauthorized person may eat of them, since they are sacred.

34. If some of the meat of the installation sacrifice or some of the bread remains over on the next day, this remnant you must burn up; it is not to be eaten, since it is sacred.

35. Carry out all these commands in regard to Aaron and his sons just as I have given them to you. Seven days you shall spend installing them,

36. sacrificing a bull each day as a purification offering, to make atonement. Thus you shall purify the altar by purging it, and you shall anoint it in order to consecrate it.

37. Seven days you shall spend in purging the altar and in consecrating it. Then the altar will be most sacred, and whatever touches it will become sacred.

38. Now, this is what you shall regularly offer on the altar: two yearling lambs as the sacrifice established for each day;

39. one lamb in the morning and the other lamb at the evening twilight.
