Exodus 29:7-21

7Then anoint him by pouring the anointing oil over his head.

8Next present his sons, and dress them in their tunics.

9Wrap the sashes around the waists of Aaron and his sons, and put their special head coverings on them. Then the right to the priesthood will be theirs by law forever. In this way, you will ordain Aaron and his sons.

10“Bring the young bull to the entrance of the Tabernacle, where Aaron and his sons will lay their hands on its head.

11Then slaughter the bull in the Lord’s presence at the entrance of the Tabernacle.

12Put some of its blood on the horns of the altar with your finger, and pour out the rest at the base of the altar.

13Take all the fat around the internal organs, the long lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys and the fat around them, and burn it all on the altar.

14Then take the rest of the bull, including its hide, meat, and dung, and burn it outside the camp as a sin offering.

15“Next Aaron and his sons must lay their hands on the head of one of the rams.

16Then slaughter the ram, and splatter its blood against all sides of the altar.

17Cut the ram into pieces, and wash off the internal organs and the legs. Set them alongside the head and the other pieces of the body,

18then burn the entire animal on the altar. This is a burnt offering to the Lord; it is a pleasing aroma, a special gift presented to the Lord.

19“Now take the other ram, and have Aaron and his sons lay their hands on its head.

20Then slaughter it, and apply some of its blood to the right earlobes of Aaron and his sons. Also put it on the thumbs of their right hands and the big toes of their right feet. Splatter the rest of the blood against all sides of the altar.

21Then take some of the blood from the altar and some of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it on Aaron and his sons and on their garments. In this way, they and their garments will be set apart as holy.
