New Testament

Exodus 29:24-36 New Century Version (NCV)

24. Put all of these in the hands of Aaron and his sons, and tell them to present them as an offering to the Lord.

25. Then take them from their hands and burn them on the altar with the whole burnt offering. This is an offering made by fire to the Lord; its smell is pleasing to the Lord.

26. Then take the breast of the male sheep used to appoint Aaron as priest, and present it before the Lord as an offering. This part of the animal will be your share.

27. Set aside the breast and the thigh of the sheep that were used to appoint Aaron and his sons as priests. These parts belong to them.

28. They are to be the regular share which the Israelites will always give to Aaron and his sons. It is the gift the Israelites must give to the Lord from their fellowship offerings.

29. “The holy clothes made for Aaron will belong to his descendants so that they can wear these clothes when they are appointed as priests.

30. Aaron’s son, who will become high priest after Aaron, will come to the Meeting Tent to serve in the Holy Place. He is to wear these clothes for seven days.

31. “Take the male sheep used to appoint priests and boil its meat in a place that is holy.

32. Then at the entrance of the Meeting Tent, Aaron and his sons must eat the meat of the sheep and the bread that is in the basket.

33. They should eat these offerings that were used to remove their sins and to make them holy when they were made priests. But no one else is to eat them, because they are holy things.

34. If any of the meat from that sheep or any of the bread is left the next morning, it must be burned. It must not be eaten, because it is holy.

35. “Do all these things that I commanded you to do to Aaron and his sons, and spend seven days appointing them.

36. Each day you are to offer a bull to remove the sins of Aaron and his sons so they will be given for service to the Lord. Make the altar ready for service to the Lord, and pour oil on it to make it holy.
