Context of Exodus 29:33

31“You are to take the ram of the consecration and cook its meat in a holy place. 32Aaron and his sons are to eat the meat of the ram and the bread that was in the basket at the entrance of the tent of meeting. They are to eat those things by which atonement was made to consecrate and to set them apart, but no one else may eat them, for they are holy. 34If any of the meat from the consecration offerings or any of the bread is left over until morning, then you are to burn up what is left over. It must not be eaten, because it is holy. 35“Thus you are to do for Aaron and for his sons, according to all that I have commanded you; you are to consecrate them for seven days.
