Exodus 29:22-34
New American Standard Bible
22 “You shall also take the fat from the ram and the fat tail, and the fat that covers the entrails and the [a]lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys and the fat that is on them, and the right thigh (for it is a ram of [b]ordination), 23 and one loaf of bread, and (A)one cake of bread mixed with oil, and one wafer from the basket of unleavened bread which is set before the Lord; 24 and you shall put [c]all these [d]in the [e]hands of Aaron and [f]in the [g]hands of his sons, and shall wave them as a wave offering before the Lord. 25 Then (B)you shall take them from their hands, and offer them up in smoke on the altar on the burnt offering for a soothing aroma before the Lord; it is an offering by fire to the Lord.
26 “Then you shall take (C)the breast of Aaron’s ram of [h]ordination, and wave it as a wave offering before the Lord; and it shall be your portion. 27 You shall consecrate the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the [i]contribution which was waved and which was [j]offered from the ram of [k]ordination, from the one which was for Aaron and from the one which was for his sons. 28 It shall be for Aaron and his sons as their portion forever from the sons of Israel, for it is [l]a contribution; and it shall be [m]a contribution from the sons of Israel from the sacrifices of their peace offerings, their [n]contribution to the Lord.
29 “(D)The holy garments of Aaron shall be for his sons after him, [o]so that they may be anointed and ordained in them. 30 For seven days the one of his sons who is priest in his place shall put them on when he enters the tent of meeting to minister in the Holy Place.
Food of the Priests
31 “Now you shall take the ram of [p]ordination and (E)boil its flesh in a holy place. 32 Then 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. 33 So (F)they shall eat [q]those things by which atonement was made [r]at their ordination and consecration; but a [s](G)layman shall not eat them, because they are holy. 34 And (H)if any of the flesh of [t]ordination or any of the bread remains until morning, then you shall burn the remainder with fire; it shall not be eaten, because it is holy.

22 “Take from this ram the fat,(A) the fat tail, the fat on the internal organs, the long lobe of the liver, both kidneys with the fat on them, and the right thigh. (This is the ram for the ordination.) 23 From the basket of bread made without yeast, which is before the Lord, take one round loaf, one thick loaf with olive oil mixed in, and one thin loaf. 24 Put all these in the hands of Aaron and his sons and have them wave them before the Lord as a wave offering.(B) 25 Then take them from their hands and burn them on the altar along with the burnt offering for a pleasing aroma to the Lord, a food offering presented to the Lord.(C) 26 After you take the breast of the ram for Aaron’s ordination, wave it before the Lord as a wave offering, and it will be your share.(D)
27 “Consecrate those parts of the ordination ram that belong to Aaron and his sons:(E) the breast that was waved and the thigh that was presented. 28 This is always to be the perpetual share from the Israelites for Aaron and his sons. It is the contribution the Israelites are to make to the Lord from their fellowship offerings.(F)
29 “Aaron’s sacred garments(G) will belong to his descendants so that they can be anointed and ordained in them.(H) 30 The son(I) who succeeds him as priest and comes to the tent of meeting to minister in the Holy Place is to wear them seven days.
31 “Take the ram(J) for the ordination and cook the meat in a sacred place.(K) 32 At the entrance to the tent of meeting, Aaron and his sons are to eat the meat of the ram and the bread(L) that is in the basket. 33 They are to eat these offerings by which atonement was made for their ordination and consecration. But no one else may eat(M) them, because they are sacred. 34 And if any of the meat of the ordination ram or any bread is left over till morning,(N) burn it up. It must not be eaten, because it is sacred.
