Exodus 29:28-38 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

28. It will always be the regular share from the people of Israel for Aaron and his sons. The people must give it to me from their friendship offerings.

29. "Aaron's sacred clothes will belong to his sons who will come after him. Then they can wear them when you anoint them and prepare them to serve me.

30. The son who comes after him as priest must wear them seven days. He will come and serve in the Holy Room in the Tent of Meeting.

31. "Get the ram that is sacrificed when you prepare Aaron and his sons to serve me. Cook the meat in a sacred place.

32. "Aaron and his sons must eat the ram's meat. And they must eat the bread that is in the basket. They must eat all of it at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

33. Those are the offerings to pay for their sins. They must eat them. The offerings must be made when Aaron and his sons are set apart and prepared to serve me. No one else can eat them. They are sacred.

34. "And if any parts of the ram or bread that are sacrificed when you prepare Aaron and his sons to serve me are left until morning, burn them up. They must not be eaten. They are sacred.

35. "Do everything I have commanded you to do for Aaron and his sons. Take seven days when you prepare them to serve me.

36. Sacrifice a bull each day. It is a sin offering to pay for their sins. "Make the altar pure. Pour olive oil on it to set it apart.

37. Take seven days to make the altar pure. Set it apart. Then the altar will be a very holy place. Anything that touches it will be holy.

38. "Every day offer on the altar two lambs that are a year old.
