of the liver, the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them,
and burn them on the altar.
029:014 But the flesh of the bull, and its skin, and its dung,
you shall burn with fire outside of the camp:
it is a sin offering.
029:015 "You shall also take the one ram; and Aaron and his sons shall
lay their hands on the head of the ram.
029:016 You shall kill the ram, and you shall take its blood,
and sprinkle it around on the altar.
029:017 You shall cut the ram into its pieces, and wash its innards,
and its legs, and put them with its pieces, and with its head.
029:018 You shall burn the whole ram on the altar: it is a burnt
offering to Yahweh; it is a sweet savor, an offering made
by fire to Yahweh.
029:019 "You shall take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons shall
lay their hands on the head of the ram.
029:020 Then you shall kill the ram, and take some of its blood,
and put it on the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and on
the tip of the right ear of his sons, and on the thumb
of their right hand, and on the big toe of their right foot,
and sprinkle the blood on the altar round about.
029:021 You shall take of the blood that is on the altar, and of the
anointing oil, and sprinkle it on Aaron, and on his garments,
and on his sons, and on the garments of his sons with him:
and he shall be made holy, and his garments, and his sons,
and his sons' garments with him.
029:022 Also you shall take some of the ram's fat, the fat tail,
the fat that covers the innards, the cover of the liver,
the two kidneys, the fat that is on them, and the right thigh
(for it is a ram of consecration),
029:023 and one loaf of bread, one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer
out of the basket of unleavened bread that is before Yahweh.
029:024 You shall put all of this in Aaron's hands, and in his sons'
hands, and shall wave them for a wave offering before Yahweh.
029:025 You shall take them from their hands, and burn them on the altar
on the burnt offering, for a sweet savor before Yahweh:
it is an offering made by fire to Yahweh.
029:026 "You shall take the breast of Aaron's ram of consecration,
and wave it for a wave offering before Yahweh:
and it shall be your portion.
029:027 You shall sanctify the breast of the wave offering, and the thigh
of the wave offering, which is waved, and which is heaved up,
of the ram of consecration, even of that which is for Aaron,
and of that which is for his sons:
029:028 and it shall be for Aaron and his sons as their portion forever
from the children of Israel; for it is a wave offering:
and it shall be a wave offering from the children of Israel
of the sacrifices of their peace offerings, even their wave
offering to Yahweh.
029:029 "The holy garments of Aaron shall be for his sons after him,
to be anointed in them, and to be consecrated in them.
029:030 Seven days shall the son who is priest in his place put
them on, when he comes into the tent of meeting to minister
in the holy place.
029:031 "You shall take the ram of consecration, and boil its flesh
in a holy place.
029:032 Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread
that is in the basket, at the door of the tent of meeting.
029:033 They shall eat those things with which atonement was made,
to consecrate and sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat
of it, because they are holy.
029:034 If anything of the flesh of the consecration, or of the bread,
remains to the morning, then you shall burn the remainder with fire:
it shall not be eaten, because it is holy.
029:035 "Thus shall you do to Aaron, and to his sons, according to all
that I have commanded you. Seven days shall you consecrate them.
029:036 Every day shall you offer the bull of sin offering for atonement:
and you shall cleanse the altar, when you make atonement for it;
and you shall anoint it, to sanctify it.
029:037 Seven days you shall make atonement for the altar, and sanctify it:
and the altar shall be most holy; whatever touches the altar
shall be holy.
029:038 "Now this is that which you shall offer on the altar:
two lambs a year old day by day continually.
029:039 The one lamb you shall offer in the morning; and the other lamb
you shall offer at evening:
029:040 and with the one lamb a tenth part of an ephah of fine
flour mixed with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil,
and the fourth part of a hin of wine for a drink offering.
029:041 The other lamb you shall offer at evening, and shall do to it
according to the meal offering of the morning, and according
to its drink offering, for a sweet savor, an offering made
by fire to Yahweh.
029:042 It shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your
generations at the door of the tent of meeting before Yahweh,
where I will meet with you, to speak there to you.
029:043 There I will meet with the children of Israel; and the place
shall be sanctified by my glory.
029:044 I will sanctify the tent of meeting and the altar:
Aaron also and his sons I will sanctify, to minister to me
in the priest's office.
029:045 I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God.
029:046 They shall know that I am Yahweh their God, who brought them
forth out of the land of Egypt, that I might dwell among them:
I am Yahweh their God.
030:001 "You shall make an altar to burn incense on. You shall make
it of acacia wood.

and they shall be for places for poles with which to bear it.
030:005 You shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay
them with gold.
030:006 You shall put it before the veil that is by the ark of the testimony,
