Exodus 29:10-14

The Consecration of the Priests and the LORD’s Promise to Dwell Among Israel

The LORD gives the procedure for consecrating Aaron and his sons: preparing sacrificial animals and bread, washing the priests, clothing Aaron, anointing him, clothing his sons, offering a bull as a sin offering, offering one ram as a burnt offering, offering another ram as an ordination offering, applying blood to the priests, waving and burning portions before the LORD, eating the ordination meal, repeating the consecration for seven days, offering daily burnt offerings, consecrating the altar, and receiving the LORD’s promise to meet, sanctify, dwell, and be Israel’s God.

10You are to present the bull at the front of the Tent of Meeting, and Aaron and his sons are to lay their hands on its head.

11And you shall slaughter the bull before the LORD at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

12Take some of the blood of the bull and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger; then pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

13Take all the fat that covers the entrails and the lobe of the liver, and both kidneys with the fat on them, and burn them on the altar.

14But burn the flesh of the bull and its hide and dung outside the camp; it is a sin offering.
