And you shall gird them with sashes, Aaron and his sons, and put the hats on them. (A)The priesthood shall be theirs for a perpetual statute. So you shall (B)consecrate Aaron and his sons.

10 “You shall also have the bull brought before the tabernacle of meeting, and (C)Aaron and his sons shall put their hands on the head of the bull. 11 Then you shall kill the bull before the Lord, by the door of the tabernacle of meeting. 12 You shall take some of the blood of the bull and put it on (D)the horns of the altar with your finger, and (E)pour all the blood beside the base of the altar. 13 And (F)you shall take all the fat that covers the entrails, the fatty lobe attached to the liver, and the two kidneys and the fat that is on them, and burn them on the altar. 14 But (G)the flesh of the bull, with its skin and its offal, you shall burn with fire outside the camp. It is a sin offering.

15 (H)“You shall also take one ram, and Aaron and his sons shall (I)put their hands on the head of the ram; 16 and you shall kill the ram, and you shall take its blood and (J)sprinkle it all around on the altar. 17 Then you shall cut the ram in pieces, wash its entrails and its legs, and put them with its pieces and with its head. 18 And you shall burn the whole ram on the altar. It is a (K)burnt offering to the Lord; it is a sweet aroma, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

19 (L)“You shall also take the other ram, and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands on the head of the ram. 20 Then you shall kill the ram, and take some of its blood and put it on the tip of the right ear of Aaron and on the tip of the right ear of his sons, on the thumb of their right hand and on the big toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the blood all around on the altar. 21 And you shall take some of the blood that is on the altar, and some of (M)the anointing oil, and sprinkle it on Aaron and on his garments, on his sons and on the garments of his sons with him; and (N)he and his garments shall be hallowed, and his sons and his sons’ garments with him.

22 “Also you shall take the fat of the ram, the fat tail, the fat that covers the entrails, the fatty lobe attached to the liver, the two kidneys and the fat on them, the right thigh (for it is a ram of consecration), 23 (O)one loaf of bread, one cake made with oil, and one wafer from the basket of the unleavened bread that is before the Lord; 24 and you shall put all these in the hands of Aaron and in the hands of his sons, and you shall (P)wave them as a wave offering before the Lord. 25 (Q)You shall receive them back from their hands and burn them on the altar as a burnt offering, as a sweet aroma before the Lord. It is an offering made by fire to the Lord.

26 “Then you shall take (R)the breast of the ram of Aaron’s consecration and wave it as a wave offering before the Lord; and it shall be your portion. 27 And from the ram of the consecration you shall consecrate (S)the breast of the wave offering which is waved, and the thigh of the heave offering which is raised, of that which is for Aaron and of that which is for his sons. 28 It shall be from the children of Israel for Aaron and his sons (T)by a statute forever. For it is a heave offering; (U)it shall be a heave offering from the children of Israel from the sacrifices of their peace offerings, that is, their heave offering to the Lord.

29 “And the (V)holy garments of Aaron (W)shall be his sons’ after him, (X)to be anointed in them and to be consecrated in them. 30 (Y)That son who becomes priest in his place shall put them on for (Z)seven days, when he enters the tabernacle of meeting to minister in the [a]holy place.

31 “And you shall take the ram of the consecration and (AA)boil its flesh in the holy place. 32 Then Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the (AB)bread that is in the basket, by the door of the tabernacle of meeting. 33 (AC)They shall eat those things with which the atonement was made, to consecrate and to sanctify them; (AD)but an outsider shall not eat them, because they are holy. 34 And if any of the flesh of the consecration offerings, or of the bread, remains until the morning, then (AE)you shall burn the remainder with fire. It shall not be eaten, because it is holy.
