Exodus 29:14-26 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

14. But the meat, the skin, and the food still in the bull's stomach must be burnt outside the camp as an offering to ask forgiveness for the sins of the priests.

15. Bring one of the rams to Aaron and his sons and make them lay their hands on its head.

16. Kill the ram and splatter its blood against all four sides of the altar.

17. Cut up the ram, wash its insides and legs, and lay all its parts on the altar, including the head.

18. Then make sure that the whole animal goes up in smoke with a smell that pleases me.

19. Bring the other ram to Aaron and his sons and make them lay their hands on its head.

20. Kill the ram and place some of its blood on Aaron's right ear lobe, his right thumb, and the big toe of his right foot. Do the same for each of his sons and splatter the rest of the blood against the four sides of the altar.

21. Then take some of the blood from the altar, mix it with the oil used for ordination, and sprinkle it on Aaron and his clothes, and also on his sons and their clothes. This will show that they and their clothes have been dedicated to me.

22. This ram is part of the ordination service. So remove its right hind leg, its fat tail, the fat on its insides, as well as the lower part of the liver and the two kidneys with their fat.

23. Take one loaf of each kind of bread from the basket,

24. and put this bread, together with the meat, into the hands of Aaron and his sons. Then they will lift it all up to show that it is dedicated to me.

25. After this, the meat and bread are to be placed on the altar and sent up in smoke with a smell that pleases me.

26. You may eat the choice ribs from this second ram, but you must first lift them up to show that this meat is dedicated to me.
