Exodus 29:19-28

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.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

19Take the second ram, and Aaron and his sons are to lay their hands on its head.

20Slaughter the ram, take some of its blood, and put it on the right earlobes of Aaron and his sons, on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet. Splatter the remaining blood on all sides of the altar.

21And take some of the blood on the altar and some of the anointing oil and sprinkle it on Aaron and his garments, as well as on his sons and their garments. Then he and his garments will be consecrated, as well as his sons and their garments.

22Take the fat from the ram, the fat tail, the fat covering the entrails, the lobe of the liver, both kidneys with the fat on them, and the right thigh (since this is a ram for ordination),

23along with one loaf of bread, one cake of bread made with oil, and one wafer from the basket of unleavened bread that is before the LORD.

24Put all these in the hands of Aaron and his sons and wave them before the LORD as a wave offering.

25Then take them from their hands and burn them on the altar atop the burnt offering as a pleasing aroma before the LORD; it is a food offering to the LORD.

26Take the breast of the ram of Aaron’s ordination and wave it before the LORD as a wave offering, and it will be your portion.

27Consecrate for Aaron and his sons the breast of the wave offering that is waved and the thigh of the heave offering that is lifted up from the ram of ordination.

28This will belong to Aaron and his sons as a regular portion from the Israelites, for it is the heave offering the Israelites will make to the LORD from their peace offerings.
