14 His sacrifices shall be wholly burned
    twice every day continually.
15 Moses ordained him,
    and anointed him with holy oil;
it was an everlasting covenant for him

    to offer sacrifice to the Lord,
incense and a pleasing odor as a memorial portion,
    to make atonement for the[b] people.
