Exodus 29:29-46 New English Translation (NET)

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

30. The priest who succeeds him from his sons, when he first comes to the tent of meeting to minister in the Holy Place, is to wear them for seven days.

31. “You are to take the ram of the consecration and cook its meat in a holy place.

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

33. They are to eat those things by which atonement was made to consecrate and to set them apart, but no one else may eat them, for they are holy.

34. If any of the meat from the consecration offerings or any of the bread is left over until morning, then you are to burn up what is left over. It must not be eaten, because it is holy.

35. “Thus you are to do for Aaron and for his sons, according to all that I have commanded you; you are to consecrate them for seven days.

36. Every day you are to prepare a bull for a purification offering for atonement. You are to purge the altar by making atonement for it, and you are to anoint it to set it apart as holy.

37. For seven days you are to make atonement for the altar and set it apart as holy. Then the altar will be most holy. Anything that touches the altar will be holy.

38. “Now this is what you are to prepare on the altar every day continually: two lambs a year old.

39. The first lamb you are to prepare in the morning, and the second lamb you are to prepare around sundown.

40. With the first lamb offer a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with a fourth of a hin of oil from pressed olives, and a fourth of a hin of wine as a drink offering.

41. The second lamb you are to offer around sundown; you are to prepare for it the same meal offering as for the morning and the same drink offering, for a soothing aroma, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

42. “This will be a regular burnt offering throughout your generations at the entrance of the tent of meeting before the Lord, where I will meet with you to speak to you there.

43. There I will meet with the Israelites, and it will be set apart as holy by my glory.

44. “So I will set apart as holy the tent of meeting and the altar, and I will set apart as holy Aaron and his sons, that they may minister as priests to me.

45. I will reside among the Israelites, and I will be their God,

46. and they will know that I am the Lord their God, who brought them out from the land of Egypt, so that I may reside among them. I am the Lord their God.
