Exodus 29:27-34

27“Set aside the portions of the ordination ram that belong to Aaron and his sons. This includes the breast and the thigh that were lifted up before the Lord as a special offering.

28In the future, whenever the people of Israel lift up a peace offering, a portion of it must be set aside for Aaron and his descendants. This is their permanent right, and it is a sacred offering from the Israelites to the Lord.

29“Aaron’s sacred garments must be preserved for his descendants who succeed him, and they will wear them when they are anointed and ordained.

30The descendant who succeeds him as high priest will wear these clothes for seven days as he ministers in the Tabernacle and the Holy Place.

31“Take the ram used in the ordination ceremony, and boil its meat in a sacred place.

32Then Aaron and his sons will eat this meat, along with the bread in the basket, at the Tabernacle entrance.

33They alone may eat the meat and bread used for their purification in the ordination ceremony. No one else may eat them, for these things are set apart and holy.

34If any of the ordination meat or bread remains until the morning, it must be burned. It may not be eaten, for it is holy.
