Moses slaughtered it. He took some of the blood, and put it on Aaron's right ear lobe, on his right thumb, and on the big toe of his right foot. Moses also brought Aaron's sons forward. He put some of the blood on their right ear lobes, on their right thumbs, and on the big toes of their right feet. Moses threw the rest of the blood against all the sides of the altar. He took the fat from the tail, all the fat on the internal organs, the lobe of the liver, the two kidneys with their fat, and the right thigh. He took a loaf of unleavened bread, a ring of bread made with olive oil. He took a wafer from the basket of unleavened bread in Jehovah's presence. He put them on the fat and the right thigh.

Moses took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood that was on the altar. He sprinkled it on Aaron and his clothes and on his sons and their clothes. In this way he dedicated Aaron, his clothes, his sons, and their clothes. Moses told Aaron and his sons: Cook the meat at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. Take the meat and the bread in the basket of the ordination offering. Eat them there as I commanded when I said: 'Aaron and his sons will eat it.' You must burn all meat or bread that is left over. You will not leave the entrance to the Tent of Meeting for seven days. Do not leave until the last day of your ordination is over. It will take seven days to ordain you. I did today what Jehovah commanded me to pay compensation for wrongdoing and make peace with Jehovah for you.

Jehovah also said: This is what you must do in order to (consecrate) set Aaron and his sons apart to serve me as priests: Take a young bull that has no defects and two rams that have no defects.

Aaron's sons should dress in their special shirts, caps and sashes. Then ordain them, because they and their descendants will have a long lasting priesthood.

Sprinkle the rest of the blood all around the altar. Take some of the blood that is on the altar and some of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it on Aaron and his clothes and on his sons and their clothes. He, his sons, and their clothes will then be dedicated to me. read more.
Remove the ram's fat, the fat tail, the fat covering the internal organs, the fat attached to the liver, the two kidneys with the fat on them, and the right thigh. From the basket of bread which has been offered to me, take one loaf of each kind: one loaf made with olive oil and one made without it and one thin cake. Put all this food in the hands of Aaron and his sons and have them dedicate it to me as a special gift. The meat and bread are to be placed on the altar and sent up in smoke with a smell before Jehovah. You may eat the choice breast from this second ram, but you must first lift them up to show that this meat is dedicated to me. You shall consecrate the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the heave offering which was waved and which was offered from the ram of ordination, from the one that was for Aaron and from the one that was for his sons. It will be for Aaron and his sons as their long lasting portion from the sons of Israel. It is a heave offering. It will be a heave offering from the sons of Israel from the sacrifices of their peace offerings, even their heave offering to Jehovah. The holy garments of Aaron shall be for his sons after him. They may wear them when they are anointed and ordained. For seven days the one of his sons who is priest in his stead shall put them on when he enters the tent of meeting to minister in the holy place. You shall take the ram of ordination and boil its flesh in a holy place. Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram and the bread that is in the basket, at the doorway of the tent of meeting. They shall eat those things used for their atonement and their ordination and consecration. A layman shall not eat them, because they are holy. If any of the flesh of ordination or any of the bread remains until morning it should be burned with fire. It should not be eaten because it is holy. Do to Aaron and to his sons all that I have commanded you. Ordain them for seven days.

Bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the Tabernacle, and have them take a ritual bath. Dress Aaron in the priestly garments and anoint him. Consecrate him so that he can serve me as priest. Bring his sons and put the shirts on them. read more.

This is the offering Aaron and his sons are to present to Jehovah on the day when he is anointed: a tenth of an ephah of fine flour as a regular grain offering, half of it in the morning and half of it in the evening. Prepare it with oil on a griddle. Stir it well and bring it. Present the grain offering in baked pieces as a soothing aroma to Jehovah. The anointed priest who will be in his place among his sons will offer it. By a long lasting ordinance it shall be entirely offered up in smoke to Jehovah. read more.
Every grain offering made by a priest must be completely burned. It must not be eaten.

Moses had Aaron and his sons come forward. Then he washed them with water. He clothed Aaron with the embroidered tunic and tied the sash around him.

This made them holy. He also poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron's head and anointed him to set him apart for his holy duties. Next, Moses dressed the sons of Aaron. He put shirts on them; put sashes around their waists, and tied caps on their heads, just as Jehovah commanded. Moses brought the young bull for the sin offering.
