14. You are to bring his sons and clothe them with tunics
15. and anoint them just as you anointed their father, so that they may minister as my priests; their anointing will make them a priesthood that will continue throughout their generations.”

22. And he put the table in the tent of meeting, on the north side of the tabernacle, outside the curtain.
23. And he set the bread in order on it before the Lord, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
24. And he put the lampstand in the tent of meeting opposite the table, on the south side of the tabernacle.
25. Then he set up the lamps before the Lord, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
