Exodus 29:13-31 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

13. Take all the fat that covers the entrails, the fatty lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys with the fat on them, and burn them on the altar.

14. But burn up the bull’s flesh, its hide, and its dung outside the camp; it is a sin offering.

15. “Take one ram, and Aaron and his sons are to lay their hands on the ram’s head.

16. You are to slaughter the ram, take its blood, and sprinkle it on all sides of the altar.

17. Cut the ram into pieces. Wash its entrails and shanks, and place them with its head and its pieces on the altar.

18. Then burn the whole ram on the altar; it is a burnt offering to the Lord. It is a pleasing aroma, a fire offering to the Lord.

19. “You are to take the second ram, and Aaron and his sons must lay their hands on the ram’s head.

20. Slaughter the ram, take some of its blood, and put it on Aaron’s right earlobe, on his sons’ right earlobes, on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet. Sprinkle the remaining blood on all sides of the altar.

21. Take some of the blood that is on the altar and some of the anointing oil, and sprinkle them on Aaron and his garments, as well as on his sons and their garments. In this way, he and his garments will become holy, as well as his sons and their garments.

22. “Take the fat from the ram, the fat tail, the fat covering the entrails, the fatty lobe of the liver, the two kidneys and the fat on them, and the right thigh (since this is a ram for ordination );

23. take one loaf of bread, one cake of bread made with oil, and one wafer from the basket of unleavened bread that is before the Lord;

24. and put all of them in the hands of Aaron and his sons and wave them as a presentation offering before the Lord.

25. Take them from their hands and burn them on the altar on top of the burnt offering, as a pleasing aroma before the Lord; it is a fire offering to the Lord.

26. “Take the breast from the ram of Aaron’s ordination and wave it as a presentation offering before the Lord; it is to be your portion.

27. Consecrate for Aaron and his sons the breast of the presentation offering that is waved and the thigh of the contribution that is lifted up from the ram of ordination.

28. This will belong to Aaron and his sons as a regular portion from the Israelites, for it is a contribution. It will be the Israelites’ contribution from their fellowship sacrifices, their contribution to the Lord.

29. “The holy garments that belong to Aaron are to belong to his sons after him, so that they can be anointed and ordained in them.

30. Any priest who is one of his sons and who succeeds him and enters the tent of meeting to minister in the sanctuary must wear them for seven days.

31. “You are to take the ram of ordination and boil its flesh in a holy place.
