7. Then anoint him by pouring the anointing oil over his head.

8. Next present his sons, and dress them in their tunics.

9. Wrap the sashes around the waists of Aaron and his sons, and put their special head coverings on them. Then the right to the priesthood will be theirs by law forever. In this way, you will ordain Aaron and his sons.

10. “Bring the young bull to the entrance of the Tabernacle, where Aaron and his sons will lay their hands on its head.

11. Then slaughter the bull in the lord’s presence at the entrance of the Tabernacle.

12. Put some of its blood on the horns of the altar with your finger, and pour out the rest at the base of the altar.

13. Take all the fat around the internal organs, the long lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys and the fat around them, and burn it all on the altar.

14. Then take the rest of the bull, including its hide, meat, and dung, and burn it outside the camp as a sin offering.

15. “Next Aaron and his sons must lay their hands on the head of one of the rams.

16. Then slaughter the ram, and splatter its blood against all sides of the altar.

17. Cut the ram into pieces, and wash off the internal organs and the legs. Set them alongside the head and the other pieces of the body,

18. then burn the entire animal on the altar. This is a burnt offering to the lord; it is a pleasing aroma, a special gift presented to the lord.

19. “Now take the other ram, and have Aaron and his sons lay their hands on its head.

20. Then slaughter it, and apply some of its blood to the right earlobes of Aaron and his sons. Also put it on the thumbs of their right hands and the big toes of their right feet. Splatter the rest of the blood against all sides of the altar.
