27-28. In the future, when anyone from Israel offers the ribs and a hind leg of a ram either to ordain a priest or to ask for my blessing, the meat belongs to me, but it may be eaten by the priests. This law will never change.
29-30. After Aaron's death, his priestly clothes are to be handed down to each descendant who succeeds him as high priest, and these clothes must be worn during the seven-day ceremony of ordination.
31. Boil the meat of the ordination ram in a sacred place,
32. then Aaron and his sons are to eat it together with the three kinds of bread at the entrance to the sacred tent.
33. At their ordination, a ceremony of forgiveness was performed for them with this sacred food, and only they have the right to eat it.
34. If any of the sacred food is left until morning, it must be burnt up.
35. Repeat this ordination ceremony for Aaron and his sons seven days in a row, just as I have instructed you.
36. Each day you must offer a bull as a sacrifice for sin and as a way of purifying the altar. In addition, you must smear the altar with olive oil to make it completely holy.
37. Do this for seven days, and the altar will become so holy that anyone who touches it will become holy.
38. Each day you must sacrifice two lambs a year old,
39. one in the morning and one in the evening.
40-41. With each lamb offer one kilogramme of your finest flour mixed with a litre of pure olive oil, and also pour out a litre of wine as an offering. The smell of this sacrifice on the fires of the altar will be pleasing to me.
42-43. You and your descendants must always offer this sacrifice on the altar at the entrance to the sacred tent.People of Israel, I will meet and speak with you there, and my shining glory will make the place holy.
44. Because of who I am, the tent will become sacred, and Aaron and his sons will become worthy to serve as my priests.
45. I will live among you as your God,
46. and you will know that I am the Lord your God, the one who rescued you from Egypt, so that I could live among you.
