22 “You shall also take the fat from the ram and the fat tail, and the fat that covers the entrails and the [a]lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys and the fat that is on them and the right thigh (for it is a ram of [b]ordination), 23 and one cake of bread and (A)one cake of bread mixed with oil and one wafer from the basket of unleavened bread which is set before the Lord; 24 and you shall put [c]all these [d]in the [e]hands of Aaron and [f]in the [g]hands of his sons, and shall wave them as a wave offering before the Lord. 25 (B)You shall take them from their hands, and offer them up in smoke on the altar on the burnt offering for a soothing aroma before the Lord; it is an offering by fire to the Lord.

26 “Then you shall take (C)the breast of Aaron’s ram of [h]ordination, and wave it as a wave offering before the Lord; and it shall be your portion. 27 You shall consecrate the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the heave offering which was waved and which was [i]offered from the ram of [j]ordination, from the one which was for Aaron and from the one which was for his sons. 28 It shall be for Aaron and his sons as their portion forever from the sons of Israel, for it is a heave offering; and it shall be a heave offering from the sons of Israel from the sacrifices of their peace offerings, even their heave offering to the Lord.

29 (D)The holy garments of Aaron shall be for his sons after him, [k]that in them they may be anointed and ordained. 30 For seven days the one of his sons who is priest in his stead shall put them on when he enters the tent of meeting to minister in the holy place.

Food of the Priests

31 “You shall take the ram of [l]ordination and (E)boil its flesh in a holy place. 32 Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram and the bread that is in the basket, at the doorway of the tent of meeting. 33 Thus (F)they shall eat [m]those things by which atonement was made [n]at their ordination and consecration; but a [o](G)layman shall not eat them, because they are holy. 34 (H)If any of the flesh of [p]ordination or any of the bread remains until morning, then you shall burn the remainder with fire; it shall not be eaten, because it is holy.
