Exodus 29:27-36 God's Word Translation (GW)

27. Set apart as holy the breast that is offered to the Lord and the thigh that is the contribution. Both will come from the ram used for the ordination. They both belong to Aaron and his sons.

28. It is a permanent law that the Israelites give this portion to Aaron and his sons as a contribution. This will also be their contribution to the Lord from the fellowship offerings.

29. “Aaron’s holy clothes will belong to his descendants so that they can be anointed and ordained in them.

30. The son who succeeds him as priest—the one who goes into the tent of meeting to serve in the holy place—will wear them for seven days.

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

32. At the entrance to the tent of meeting, Aaron and his sons will eat the meat of the ram and the bread ⌊left⌋ in the basket.

33. They will eat those offerings through which they made peace with the Lord at their ordination and installation. No one else may eat them because the offerings are holy.

34. If any meat or bread from the ordination is left over until morning, burn it up. It must not be eaten because it is holy.

35. “Do this with Aaron and his sons exactly as I have commanded you. Take seven days to ordain them.

36. Each day sacrifice a young bull as an offering to make peace with the Lord. Sacrifice this offering for sin on the altar in order to pay for its sins. Then anoint it ⌊with olive oil⌋ in order to dedicate it.
