Exodus 29:19-37 Modern English Version (MEV)

19. Then you shall take the other ram, and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands on the head of the ram.

20. You shall kill the ram and take some of its blood and put it on the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and on the tip of the right ear of his sons, and on the thumb of their right hand, and on the great toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the blood around on the altar.

21. You shall take some of the blood that is on the altar and some of the anointing oil and sprinkle it on Aaron and on his garments, and on his sons, and on the garments of his sons with him. So he and his garments shall be consecrated, along with his sons and his sons’ garments with him.

22. Also you shall take the fat and the rump of the ram, and the fat that covers the entrails and the lobe above the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them and the right shoulder (for it is a ram of consecration),

23. and one loaf of bread, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer out of the basket of the unleavened bread that is before the Lord.

24. And you shall put all of these in the hands of Aaron and in the hands of his sons, and shall wave them for a wave offering before the Lord.

25. Then you shall take them from their hands and burn them on the altar for a burnt offering, for a soothing aroma before the Lord. It is an offering made by fire to the Lord.

26. You shall take the breast of Aaron’s ram of consecration, and wave it as a wave offering before the Lord, and it shall be your portion.

27. You shall consecrate the breast of the wave offering that is waved and the thigh of the priest’s portion that is contributed from the ram of the consecration, from that which was for Aaron and from that which was for his sons.

28. It shall be for Aaron and his sons by a statute forever, for it is a contribution. It shall be a contribution from the children of Israel from their peace offerings, their contributions to the Lord.

29. The holy garments belonging to Aaron are to belong to his sons after him, so that they may be anointed in them and be ­consecrated in them.

30. The son that is priest in his stead shall put them on seven days when he comes into the tent of meeting to minister in the holy place.

31. You shall take the ram of the consecration and boil its flesh in a holy place.

32. Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram and the bread that is in the basket by the door of the tent of meeting.

33. They shall eat those things by which the atonement was made in order to consecrate and sanctify them, but no one else shall eat them, because they are holy.

34. If any of the flesh from the consecrations or from the bread remain until the morning, then you shall burn the remainder with fire. It shall not be eaten, because it is holy.

35. Thus shall you do to Aaron and his sons according to all that I have commanded you. You shall consecrate them for seven days.

36. Every day you must offer a bull as a sin offering for atonement, and you must cleanse the altar when you make atonement for it. You must anoint it to consecrate it.

37. For seven days you must make atonement for the altar and consecrate it, and then the altar will be most holy, and whatever touches the altar will be holy.
