For seven days you shall make atonement for the altar and consecrate it; then the altar shall be most holy, and whatever touches the altar shall be holy.

Aaron shall make atonement on its horns once a year; he shall make atonement on it with the blood of the sin offering of atonement once a year throughout your generations. It is most holy to the Lord.”

You shall also consecrate them, that they may be most holy; whatever touches them shall be holy.

You shall beat some of it very fine, and put part of it before the testimony in the tent of meeting where I will meet with you; it shall be most holy to you.

You shall anoint the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and consecrate the altar, and the altar shall be most holy.
