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.
38. “Every day you must make an offering on the altar. You must kill two lambs that are one year old.
39. Offer one lamb in the morning and the other in the evening.
40-41. When you kill the first lamb, also offer 8 cups of fine wheat flour. Mix that flour with 1 quart of the best oil. Also offer 1 quart of wine as an offering. When you kill the second lamb in the evening, also offer the 8 cups of fine flour mixed with 1 quart of the best oil and offer 1 quart of wine. This is the same as you did in the morning. This will be a sweet-smelling gift to the Lord. When you burn this offering, he will smell it, and it will please him.
42. “You must burn these things as an offering to the Lord every day. Do this at the entrance of the Meeting Tent before the Lord. Continue to do this for all time. When you make the offering, I will meet you there and speak to you.
43. I will meet with the Israelites at that place, and my Glory will make that place holy.
44. “So I will make the Meeting Tent and the altar holy. I will also make Aaron and his sons holy so that they can serve me as priests.
45. I will live with the Israelites. I will be their God.
46. The people will know that I am the Lord their God. They will know that I am the one who led them out of Egypt so that I could live with them. I am the Lord their God.
