Exodus 29:29-37 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

29. “Save these special clothes that were made for Aaron and his descendants. They will wear these clothes when they are chosen to be priests.

30. Aaron’s son will become the next high priest after him. That son will wear these clothes seven days when he comes to the Meeting Tent to serve in the Holy Place.

31. “Cook the meat from the ram that was used to make Aaron the high priest. Cook that meat in a holy place.

32. Then Aaron and his sons must eat the meat at the front door of the Meeting Tent. And they must also eat the bread that is in the basket.

33. These offerings were used to take away their sins when they were made priests. Now they should eat these offerings.

34. If any of the meat from that ram or any of the bread is left the next morning, then it must be burned. You must not eat that bread or the meat because it should be eaten only in a special way at a special time.

35. “You must do all these things for Aaron and his sons. You must do them exactly as I told you. The ceremony for appointing them to be priests must continue for seven days.

36. You must kill one bull every day for seven days. This will be an offering for the sins of Aaron and his sons. You will use these sacrifices to make the altar pure, and pour olive oil on the altar to make it holy.

37. You will make the altar pure and holy for seven days. At that time the altar will be most holy. Anything that touches the altar will also be holy.
