New Testament

Exodus 29:9-21 New Century Version (NCV)

9. Put the headbands on their heads, and tie cloth belts around their waists. Aaron and his descendants will be priests in Israel, according to 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, and 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. Use your finger to put some of the bull’s blood on the corners of the altar, and then pour the blood that is left at the bottom of the altar.

13. Take all the fat that covers the inner organs, as well as the best part of the liver, both kidneys, and the fat around them, and burn them on the altar.

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

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

16. Kill it, and take its blood and sprinkle it on all four sides of the altar.

17. Then cut it into pieces and wash its inner organs and its legs, putting them with its head and its other pieces.

18. Burn the whole 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, and have Aaron and his sons put their hands on its head.

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

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