Exodus 29:7-21

7Take the anointing oil, pour it on his head, and anoint him.

8You must also bring his sons and clothe them with tunics.

9Tie the sashes on Aaron and his sons and fasten headbands on them. The priesthood is to be theirs by a permanent statute. This is the way you will ordain Aaron and his sons.

10“You are to bring the bull to the front of the tent of meeting, and Aaron and his sons must lay their hands on the bull’s head.

11Slaughter the bull before the Lord at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

12Take some of the bull’s blood and apply it to the horns of the altar with your finger; then pour out all the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

13Take all the fat that covers the entrails, the fatty lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys with the fat on them, and burn them on the altar.

14But burn the bull’s flesh, its hide, and its waste outside the camp; it is a sin offering.

15“Take one ram, and Aaron and his sons are to lay their hands on the ram’s head.

16You are to slaughter the ram, take its blood, and splatter it on all sides of the altar.

17Cut the ram into pieces. Wash its entrails and legs, and place them with its head and its pieces on the altar.

18Then burn the whole ram on the altar; it is a burnt offering to the Lord. It is a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the Lord.

19“You are to take the second ram, and Aaron and his sons must lay their hands on the ram’s head.

20Slaughter the ram, take some of its blood, and put it on Aaron’s right earlobe, on his sons’ right earlobes, on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet. Splatter the remaining blood on all sides of the altar.

21Take some of the blood that is on the altar and some of the anointing oil, and sprinkle them on Aaron and his garments, as well as on his sons and their garments. So he and his garments will be holy, as well as his sons and their garments.
