Exodus 29:28-40 Common English Bible (CEB)

28. Those parts will be given to Aaron and his sons from the Israelites as a permanent provision, because they are a gift offering. They will be a gift offering from the Israelites, their gift offering to the Lord from their well-being sacrifices.

29. Aaron’s holy clothes should be passed on to his sons after him. His sons should be anointed in them and ordained in them.

30. The son who is priest in his place should wear them seven days when he comes into the meeting tent to minister in the sanctuary.

31. Take the ram for the ordination and boil its meat in a holy place.

32. Aaron and his sons will eat the ram’s meat and the bread that is in the basket at the meeting tent’s entrance.

33. They alone should eat the food that was used to purify them, to ordain them, and to make them holy. No one else should eat it because it is holy.

34. If any meat for the ordination or any of the bread is left over until morning, then you should burn the leftovers with fire. It shouldn’t be eaten because it’s holy.

35. Treat Aaron and his sons just as I have commanded you. Ordain them for seven days.

36. Every day you should offer a bull as a purification offering for reconciliation. You should remove the sin from the altar through a ritual of reconciliation, and you should anoint the altar to make it holy.

37. Seven days you should perform the ritual of reconciliation for the altar and make it holy. In this way, the altar will become most holy, and whatever touches the altar will also become holy.

38. Now this is what you should offer on the altar: two one-year-old lambs regularly every day.

39. Offer one lamb in the morning and offer the other lamb at twilight.

40. With the first lamb, add one-tenth of a measure of the high-quality flour mixed with a quarter of a hin of oil from crushed olives and a quarter of a hin of wine for a drink offering.
