Exodus 29:7-21

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

8You shall bring his sons and put tunics on them.

9And you shall wrap them with sashes, Aaron and his sons, and put the [ornamental] caps on them; and the priest’s office shall be theirs by a perpetual statute. So you shall ordain Aaron and his sons.

10“Then you shall bring the bull before the Tent of Meeting, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the bull’s head.

11Then you shall kill the bull before the Lord by the doorway of the Tent of Meeting.

12And you shall take some of the blood of the bull and with your finger put it on the horns of the altar [of burnt offering], and you shall pour out the remainder of the blood at the base of the altar.

13You shall take all the fat that covers the intestines and the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys and the fat that is on them, and offer them up in smoke on the altar.

14But the meat of the bull, its hide, and the contents of its intestines you shall burn in the fire outside the camp; it is a sin offering.

15“And you shall take one of the rams, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram;

16then you shall kill the ram and you shall take its blood and sprinkle it around the altar [of burnt offering].

17Then you shall cut the ram into pieces, and wash its intestines and legs, and place them with its pieces and its head,

18and you shall burn the whole ram on the altar. It is a burnt offering to the Lord: it is a sweet and soothing aroma, an offering by fire to the Lord.

19“Then you shall take the other ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram.

20Then you shall kill the ram, and take some of its blood and put it on the tip of the right ears of Aaron and his sons and on the thumbs of their right hands and on the big toes of their right feet, and sprinkle the [rest of the] blood around on the altar [of burnt offering].

21Then you shall take some of the blood that is on the altar and some of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it on Aaron and his garments and on his sons and their garments. Now Aaron and his garments and his sons and their garments shall be consecrated (dedicated, made holy, declared sacred for God’s purpose).
