Take one bull of the herd and two rams without blemish,and you shall kill the ram and take part of its blood and put it on the tip of the right ear of Aaron and on the tips of the right ears of his sons, and on the thumbs of their right hands and on the great toes of their right feet, and throw the rest of the blood against the sides of the altar.Then you shall take part of the blood that is on the altar, and of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it on Aaron and his garments, and on his sons and his sons' garments with him. He and his garments shall be holy, and his sons and his sons' garments with him."You shall also take the fat from the ram and the fat tail and the fat that covers the entrails, and the long lobe of the liver and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them, and the right thigh (for it is a ram of ordination),and one loaf of bread and one cake of bread made with oil, and one wafer out of the basket of unleavened bread that is before the Lord.You shall put all these on the palms of Aaron and on the palms of his sons, and wave them for a wave offering before the Lord.Then you shall take them from their hands and burn them on the altar on top of the burnt offering, as a pleasing aroma before the Lord. It is a food offering to the Lord."You shall take the breast of the ram of Aaron's ordination and wave it for a wave offering before the Lord, and it shall be your portion.And you shall consecrate the breast of the wave offering that is waved and the thigh of the priests' portion that is contributed from the ram of ordination, from what was Aaron's and his sons'.It shall be for Aaron and his sons as a perpetual due from the people of Israel, for it is a contribution.

It shall not be eaten, because it is holy."Thus you shall do to Aaron and to his sons, according to all that I have commanded you. Through seven days shall you ordain them,and every day you shall offer a bull as a sin offering for atonement. Also you shall purify the altar, when you make atonement for it, and shall anoint it to consecrate it.You shall put them in one basket and bring them in the basket, and bring the bull and the two rams.You shall bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the tent of meeting and wash them with water.Then you shall take the garments, and put on Aaron the coat and the robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastpiece, and gird him with the skillfully woven band of the ephod.And you shall set the turban on his head and put the holy crown on the turban.You shall take the anointing oil and pour it on his head and anoint him.Then you shall bring his sons and put coats on them,and you shall gird Aaron and his sons with sashes and bind caps on them.
