Exodus 29:14-27 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

14. "But burn the bull's meat, hide and guts outside the camp. It is a sin offering.

15. "Get one of the rams. Have Aaron and his sons place their hands on its head.

16. Kill it. Take the blood and sprinkle it against every side of the altar.

17. "Cut the ram into pieces. Wash the inside parts and the legs. Put them with the head and the other pieces.

18. Then burn the whole ram on the altar. It is a burnt offering to me. It has a pleasant smell. It is an offering that is made to me with fire.

19. "Get the other ram. Have Aaron and his sons place their hands on its head.

20. Kill it. Put some of its blood on the right ear lobes of Aaron and his sons. Put some on the thumbs of their right hands. Also put some on the big toes of their right feet. Then sprinkle blood against every side of the altar.

21. "Get some of the blood from the altar. Also get some of the anointing oil. Sprinkle both of them on Aaron and his clothes and his sons and their clothes. Then he and his sons and their clothes will be set apart to serve me.

22. "Here is what you must take from the second ram. Take the fat, the fat tail, the fat around the inside parts, the covering of the liver, both kidneys with the fat on them, and the right thigh. It is the ram you must use when you prepare the priests to serve me.

23. Get a loaf, a flat cake that is made with oil, and a wafer. Take them from the basket of bread that was made without yeast. It is the one that is in front of me.

24. "Put everything in the hands of Aaron and his sons. Tell them to lift it up and wave it in front of me as a wave offering.

25. Then take it from their hands. Burn it on the altar along with the burnt offering. It gives a smell that is pleasant to me. It is an offering that is made to me with fire.

26. "Get the breast of the ram that is used when you prepare Aaron to serve me. Wave it in front of me as a wave offering. It will be your share of the meat.

27. "Here are the parts of the second ram that belong to Aaron and his sons. You must set apart the breast that was waved and the thigh that was offered.
