Exodus 29:8-21 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

8. “Then bring his sons and put the inner robes on them.

9. Put the headbands on their heads. Then tie cloth belts around their waists. Aaron and his descendants will be priests in Israel. This is by a rule that will continue from now on. This is how you will appoint Aaron and his sons as priests.

10. “Bring the bull to the front of the Meeting Tent. Aaron and his sons must put their hands on the bull’s head.

11. Then kill the bull before the Lord at the entrance to the Meeting Tent.

12. Take some of the bull’s blood and go to the altar. Use your finger to put some blood on the corners of the altar. Pour the blood that is left at the bottom of the altar.

13. Then take all the fat that covers the inner organs. Take the best part of the liver, and take both kidneys and the fat around them. Burn these on the altar.

14. Take the bull’s meat, skin and intestines. Burn these things outside the camp. This is an offering to take away sin.

15. “Take one of the male sheep. Have Aaron and his sons put their hands on its head.

16. Then kill that male sheep. Take its blood and sprinkle it on all four sides of the altar.

17. Then cut the male sheep into pieces. Wash its inner organs and its legs. Put them with its head and its other pieces.

18. Burn the whole male sheep on the altar. It is a burnt offering made by fire to the Lord. Its smell is pleasing to the Lord.

19. “Take the other male sheep. Have Aaron and his sons put their hands on its head.

20. Kill that male sheep and take some of its blood. Put it on the bottom of the right ears of Aaron and his sons. Also put it on the thumbs of their right hands. And put it on the big toes of their right feet. Then sprinkle the rest of the blood against all four sides of the altar.

21. Then take some of the blood from the altar. Mix it with the special oil used in appointing priests. Sprinkle this on Aaron and his clothes. And sprinkle this on his sons and their clothes. This will show that Aaron and his sons and their clothes are given to my service.
