"Then you shall ordain Aaron and his sons. |

| 28In the future, whenever the people of Israel lift up a peace offering, a portion of it must be set aside for Aaron and his descendants. This is their permanent right, and it is a sacred offering from the Israelites to the LORD. | 28This 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. |

| 33They alone may eat the meat and bread used for their purification in the ordination ceremony. No one else may eat them, for these things are set apart and holy. | 33They are to eat these offerings by which atonement was made for their ordination and consecration. But no one else may eat them, because they are sacred. |
| 34If any of the ordination meat or bread remains until the morning, it must be burned. It may not be eaten, for it is holy. | 34And if any of the meat of the ordination ram or any bread is left over till morning, burn it up. It must not be eaten, because it is sacred. |
| 35“This is how you will ordain Aaron and his sons to their offices, just as I have commanded you. The ordination ceremony will go on for seven days. | 35"Do for Aaron and his sons everything I have commanded you, taking seven days to ordain them. |
| 36Each day you must sacrifice a young bull as a sin offering to purify them, making them right with the LORD. Afterward, cleanse the altar by purifying it ; make it holy by anointing it with oil. | 36Sacrifice a bull each day as a sin offering to make atonement. Purify the altar by making atonement for it, and anoint it to consecrate it. |
| 37Purify the altar, and consecrate it every day for seven days. After that, the altar will be absolutely holy, and whatever touches it will become holy. | 37For seven days make atonement for the altar and consecrate it. Then the altar will be most holy, and whatever touches it will be holy. |

| 41Offer the other lamb in the evening, along with the same offerings of flour and wine as in the morning. It will be a pleasing aroma, a special gift presented to the LORD. | 41Sacrifice the other lamb at twilight with the same grain offering and its drink offering as in the morning--a pleasing aroma, a food offering presented to the LORD. |
| 42“These burnt offerings are to be made each day from generation to generation. Offer them in the LORD’s presence at the Tabernacle entrance; there I will meet with you and speak with you. | 42"For the generations to come this burnt offering is to be made regularly at the entrance to the tent of meeting, before the LORD. There I will meet you and speak to you; |
| 43I will meet the people of Israel there, in the place made holy by my glorious presence. | 43there also I will meet with the Israelites, and the place will be consecrated by my glory. |
| 44Yes, I will consecrate the Tabernacle and the altar, and I will consecrate Aaron and his sons to serve me as priests. | 44"So I will consecrate the tent of meeting and the altar and will consecrate Aaron and his sons to serve me as priests. |
| 45Then I will live among the people of Israel and be their God, | 45Then I will dwell among the Israelites and be their God. |
| 46and they will know that I am the LORD their God. I am the one who brought them out of the land of Egypt so that I could live among them. I am the LORD their God. | 46They will know that I am the LORD their God, who brought them out of Egypt so that I might dwell among them. I am the LORD their God. |
