Context of Exodus 29:36
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. 35“This is how you will ordain Aaron and his sons to their offices, just as I have commanded you. The ordination ceremony will go on for seven days. Each day you must sacrifice a young bull as a sin offering to purify them, making them right with the Lord. Afterward, cleanse the altar by purifying it; make it holy by anointing it with oil. 37Purify the altar, and consecrate it every day for seven days.
