Context of Exodus 29:36

34If any meat or bread from the ordination is left over until morning, burn it up. It must not be eaten because it is holy. 35“Do this with Aaron and his sons exactly as I have commanded you. Take seven days to ordain them. Each day sacrifice a young bull as an offering to make peace with the Lord. Sacrifice this offering for sin on the altar in order to pay for its sins. Then anoint it ⌞with olive oil⌟ in order to dedicate it. 37For seven days at the altar make peace with the Lord and set the altar apart for its holy purpose. Then the altar will be most holy. Anything that touches the altar will become holy. 38“This is what you are to offer on the altar regularly every day: two one-year-old lambs.

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 36Thou shalt cleanse the altar - The altar was to be sanctified for seven days; and it is likely that on each day, previously to the consecration service, the altar was wiped clean, and the former day's ashes, etc., removed.Read the comment

The focus on making the priests holy appears throughout the ceremonies (29:6, 21, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37). God set them apart not only for service. But he set them apart to serve a God whose nature is very different from that of sinful humans. Leviticus 8 gives the account of how they followed these instructions.Read the comment
