Context of Leviticus 8:29

27Moses gave them to Aaron and to his sons. They lifted them up as a special gift to the Lord. 28Moses took the special gift from them and he burnt it on the altar. The smell of it while it was burning gave the Lord pleasure. Moses took his part of the animal, the meat of the ribs, and he lifted it up to the Lord. The Lord had said that Moses must do this. 30Moses took some of the oil and some of the blood from the altar. He shook them on Aaron and his sons. He also shook some of the blood and some of the oil on their clothes. He did that to make them holy. 31Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, ‘Cook the meat at the door of the Tent of Meeting. Eat the meat with the bread in the basket by the door of the Tent of Meeting.
