Exodus 29:7-21

7Take the special olive oil. Pour it on his head to show that God has chosen him to be his servant.

8Bring Aaron's sons and dress them in their special shirts.

9Put the cloth hats on their heads. Tie the long cloth belts around Aaron and on his sons. These men and their descendants will always be priests. That is a law that continues for ever. That is how you must make Aaron and his sons God's special servants.

10Bring the bull to the front of the Tent of Meeting. Aaron and his sons must put their hands on the bull's head.

11Then kill the animal as an offering to the Lord, at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.

12Take some of the bull's blood. Use your finger to put some of it on the horns of the altar. Pour the blood that remains on the ground around the altar.

13Take all the fat that is round the inside parts of the animal. Take the best part of the liver. Take both the kidneys with the fat that is round them. Burn all these things on the altar.

14But burn the rest of the bull's body outside the camp, with its skin and the food in its stomach. It is an offering to make the priests clean from their sins.

15Take one of the male sheep. Aaron and his sons must put their hands on its head.

16Kill the sheep and take its blood to the altar. Throw some of the blood onto every side of the altar.

17Cut the sheep into pieces. Wash its inside parts and its legs. Then put them together with its head and the other pieces.

18Completely burn the whole sheep on the altar. It is a burnt offering to the Lord. Its smell pleases him.

19Take the second male sheep. Aaron and his sons must put their hands on its head.

20Kill the sheep. Put some of its blood on Aaron's right ear, the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot. Do the same thing to each of his sons. Then throw some of the sheep's blood onto every side of the altar.

21Mix together some of the blood on the altar and some of the special oil. Splash this onto Aaron and onto his clothes. Splash it also onto his sons and onto their clothes. Then Aaron and his sons and their clothes will be holy.
