8Present his sons as well and clothe them with tunics.[ † ]Exodus 28:39-40Leviticus 8:13 9Wrap the sashes around Aaron and his sons and tie headbands on them.

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.[ † ]Leviticus 1:4Leviticus 8:14 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.[ † ]Leviticus 8:15Exodus 27:2Exodus 30:2Leviticus 4:7 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.[ † ]Leviticus 1:8Leviticus 3:3-4 14But burn the flesh of the bull and its hide and dung outside the camp; it is a sin offering.[ † ]Leviticus 4:11-12, 21Hebrews 13:11
15Take one of the rams, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on its head.[ † ]Leviticus 8:18Leviticus 1:4-9 16You are to slaughter the ram, take its blood, and splatter it on all sides of the altar.[ † ]Exodus 24:6Leviticus 1:5-11 17Cut the ram into pieces, wash the entrails and legs, and place them with its head and other pieces. 18Then burn the entire ram on the altar; it is a burnt offering to the Lord, a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the Lord.[ † ]Exodus 20:24
19Take the second ram, and Aaron and his sons are to lay their hands on its head.[ † ]Leviticus 8:22 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.[ † ]Exodus 30:25-31Leviticus 8:30Exodus 28:41Exodus 29:1Hebrews 9:22
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.[ † ]Leviticus 8:26 24Put all these in the hands of Aaron and his sons and wave them before the Lord as a wave offering.[ † ]Leviticus 7:30Leviticus 10:14 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.[ † ]Leviticus 8:28

29The holy garments that belong to Aaron will belong to his sons after him, so they can be anointed and ordained in them.[ † ]Exodus 28:2Numbers 20:26-28Exodus 28:41Exodus 30:30Numbers 18:8 30The son who succeeds him as priest and enters the Tent of Meeting to minister in the Holy Place must wear them for seven days.[ † ]Numbers 20:28Leviticus 8:35
31You are to take the ram of ordination and boil its flesh in a holy place.[ † ]Leviticus 8:31 32At the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, Aaron and his sons are to eat the meat of the ram and the bread that is in the basket.[ † ]Matthew 12:4 33They must eat those things by which atonement was made for their ordination and consecration. But no outsider may eat them, because these things are sacred.[ † ]Leviticus 10:14-15, 17Exodus 12:43Leviticus 22:10 34And if any of the meat of ordination or any bread is left until the morning, you are to burn up the remainder. It must not be eaten, because it is sacred.[ † ]Exodus 12:10Exodus 23:18Exodus 34:25Leviticus 7:18Leviticus 8:32
35This is what you are to do for Aaron and his sons based on all that I have commanded you, taking seven days to ordain them.[ † ]Leviticus 8:33-35 36Sacrifice a bull as a sin offering each day for atonement.

Then the altar will become most holy; whatever touches the altar will be holy.[ † ]Numbers 4:15Haggai 2:11-13Matthew 23:19
38This is what you are to offer regularly on the altar, each day: two lambs that are a year old.[ † ]Numbers 28:3-31Numbers 29:6-381 Chronicles 16:40Ezra 3:3Daniel 12:11 39Offer one lamb in the morning and the other at twilight.[ † ]Ezekiel 46:13-15 40With the first lamb offer a tenth of an ephah of fine flour, mixed with a quarter hin of oil from pressed olives, and a drink offering of a quarter hin of wine. 41And offer the second lamb at twilight with the same grain offering and drink offering as in the morning, as a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the Lord.[ † ]1 Kings 18:29-362 Kings 16:15Ezra 9:4-5Psalms 141:2
42For the generations to come, this burnt offering shall be made regularly at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting before the Lord, where I will meet you to speak with you.[ † ]Exodus 30:8Exodus 25:22Exodus 33:7-9Numbers 17:4 43I will also meet with the Israelites there, and that place will be consecrated by My glory.[ † ]Exodus 40:341 Kings 8:112 Chronicles 5:14Ezekiel 43:5Haggai 2:7-9 44So I will consecrate the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and I will consecrate Aaron and his sons to serve Me as priests.[ † ]Leviticus 21:15
