Context of Exodus 29:3

1When you make the priests God's special servants, do it in this way: Take a young bull and two male sheep. They must not have anything wrong with them. 2Use good flour from wheat to make three kinds of bread, with no yeast in it. Mix olive oil with some of the flour before you cook it. Cook some of the flour without any oil in it. And cook some flour to make biscuits that you then put oil on. Put the bread and the biscuits into a basket. Bring them to the Tent of Meeting with the bull and the two sheep. 4Then bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting. Use water to wash them there and make them clean. 5Then take the special clothes. Dress Aaron in the shirt, the robe, the ephod and the breastpiece. Tie the ephod on him with its special belt.
