| 25Next Moses took the fat, including the fat of the broad tail, the fat around the internal organs, the long lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys and the fat around them, along with the right thigh. | 25Then he took the fat (the fatty tail, all the fat on the entrails, the protruding lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys and their fat) and the right thigh, |
| 26On top of these he placed a thin cake of bread made without yeast, a cake of bread mixed with olive oil, and a wafer spread with olive oil. All these were taken from the basket of bread made without yeast that was placed in the LORD’s presence. | 26and from the basket of unleavened bread that was before the LORD he took one unleavened loaf, one loaf of bread mixed with olive oil, and one wafer, and placed them on the fat parts and on the right thigh. |
| 27He put all these in the hands of Aaron and his sons, and he lifted these gifts as a special offering to the LORD. | 27He then put all of them on the palms of Aaron and his sons, who waved them as a wave offering before the LORD. |

| 31Then Moses said to Aaron and his sons, “Boil the remaining meat of the offerings at the Tabernacle entrance, and eat it there, along with the bread that is in the basket of offerings for the ordination, just as I commanded when I said, ‘Aaron and his sons will eat it.’ | 31Then Moses said to Aaron and his sons, "Boil the meat at the entrance of the Meeting Tent, and there you are to eat it and the bread which is in the ordination offering basket, just as I have commanded, saying, 'Aaron and his sons are to eat it,' |
| 32Any meat or bread that is left over must then be burned up. | 32but the remainder of the meat and the bread you must burn with fire. |
| 33You must not leave the Tabernacle entrance for seven days, for that is when the ordination ceremony will be completed. | 33And you must not go out from the entrance of the Meeting Tent for seven days, until the day when your days of ordination are completed, because you must be ordained over a seven-day period. |
| 34Everything we have done today was commanded by the LORD in order to purify you, making you right with him. | 34What has been done on this day the LORD has commanded to be done to make atonement for you. |
| 35Now stay at the entrance of the Tabernacle day and night for seven days, and do everything the LORD requires. If you fail to do this, you will die, for this is what the LORD has commanded.” | 35You must reside at the entrance of the Meeting Tent day and night for seven days and keep the charge of the LORD so that you will not die, for this is what I have been commanded." |
| 36So Aaron and his sons did everything the LORD had commanded through Moses. | 36So Aaron and his sons did all the things the LORD had commanded through Moses. |
