Exodus 29:8-20 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

8. "Bring his sons and dress them in their inner robes.

9. Put headbands on them. Tie belts on Aaron and his sons. The work of the priests belongs to them. This is my law that will last for all time to come. "And that is how you must prepare Aaron and his sons to serve me.

10. "Bring the bull to the front of the Tent of Meeting. Have Aaron and his sons place their hands on its head.

11. Kill it in my sight at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

12. "Dip your finger into some of the bull's blood. Put it on the horns that stick out from the upper four corners of the altar. Pour the rest of it out at the base of the altar.

13. "Then take all of the fat around the inside parts. Take the covering of the liver. Take both kidneys with the fat on them. And burn all of it on the altar.

14. "But burn the bull's meat, hide and guts outside the camp. It is a sin offering.

15. "Get one of the rams. Have Aaron and his sons place their hands on its head.

16. Kill it. Take the blood and sprinkle it against every side of the altar.

17. "Cut the ram into pieces. Wash the inside parts and the legs. Put them with the head and the other pieces.

18. Then burn the whole ram on the altar. It is a burnt offering to me. It has a pleasant smell. It is an offering that is made to me with fire.

19. "Get the other ram. Have Aaron and his sons place their hands on its head.

20. Kill it. Put some of its blood on the right ear lobes of Aaron and his sons. Put some on the thumbs of their right hands. Also put some on the big toes of their right feet. Then sprinkle blood against every side of the altar.
