Exodus 29:7-21
7Take the anointing oil, pour it on his head, and anoint him.
8“Have his sons come forward. Dress them in their linen robes,
9and put turbans on them. Tie belts around the waists of Aaron and his sons. They alone are to be priests; this is a permanent law. In this way you will ordain Aaron and his sons.
10“Then bring the young bull to the front of the tent of meeting. Aaron and his sons will place their hands on its head.
11Slaughter the bull in the Lord’s presence at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
12Take some of the bull’s blood, and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger. Pour the rest of it out at the bottom of the altar.
13“Then take all the fat that covers the internal organs, the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys with the fat on them, and burn them on the altar.
14But burn the bull’s meat, skin, and excrement outside the camp. It is an offering for sin.
15“Take one of the rams. Then Aaron and his sons will place their hands on its head.
16Slaughter it, take the blood, and throw it against the altar on all sides.
17Cut the ram into pieces, wash the internal organs and legs, and put them with the other pieces and the head.
18Then burn the whole ram on the altar. It’s a burnt offering, a soothing aroma, an offering by fire to the Lord.
19“Take the other ram. Then Aaron and his sons will place their hands on its head.
20Slaughter it, take some of the blood, and put it on the right ear lobes of Aaron and his sons, on their right thumbs, and on the big toes of their right feet. Throw the ⌞rest of the⌟ blood against the altar on all sides.
21Take some of the blood that is on the altar and some of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it on Aaron and his clothes and on his sons and their clothes. In this way Aaron, his sons, and their clothes will be holy.
