Exodus 29:24-37

Thomson(i) 24 and thou shalt lay all these upon the hands of Aaron, and upon the hands of his sons, and set them apart as a dedication before the Lord. 25 Then thou shalt take them out of their hands and carry them up, upon the altar of burnt offerings for a smell of fragrance before the Lord. It is an homage offering to the Lord. 26 And thou shalt take the breast of the ram of Aaron's consecration and set it apart as a dedication before the Lord, and thou shalt have it for a portion. 27 And thou shalt hallow this breast dedication and the shoulder dedication which was set apart and taken from the ram of consecration on account of Aaron and his sons; 28 and they shall belong to Aaron and his sons by an everlasting statute from the Israelites. For this is a dedication and it shall be a portion taken from the Israelites, from the burnt offerings of thanksgiving of the children of Israel; a portion set apart for the Lord. 29 Now the sanctuary robes which are appropriate to Aaron shall be for his sons after him to be anointed in them and to consecrate their hands. 30 The priest; that one of his sons who is to succeed him and come into the tabernacle of the testimony to minister in the Holies shall put them on seven days. 31 And thou shalt take the flesh of the ram of consecration and boil this flesh in a holy place; 32 and Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of this ram and the bread which is in the basket. At the doors of the tabernacle of the testimony 33 they shall eat those meats, with which they were hallowed to consecrate their hands with them, to hallow themselves. None of another family shall eat of them, for they are holy. 34 And if any of the flesh of the consecration sacrifice or of the bread be left till the morning, thou shalt burn what remaineth with fire. It shall not be eaten; for it is a dedication. 35 Having done thus for Aaron and his sons according to all that I have commanded thee, and consecrated their hands seven days, 36 thou shalt offer on the day of the purification a young bull for a sin offering, and thou shalt purify the altar, when thou consecratest upon it, and anoint it so as to hallow it. 37 Seven days thou shalt purify the altar and hallow it, so shall the altar be most holy. Whoever toucheth it shall be hallowed.
