Exodus 29:11-21

New Catholic Bible

¹¹ Kill the bull before the Lord, at the entrance to the meeting tent. ¹² Take part of its blood and with a finger put it on the horns of the altar. The rest of the blood shall be poured out at the base of the altar.

¹³ “Take the fat that surrounds its entrails, the lobe of the liver, the two kidneys and the fat that surrounds them, and burn them as a sacrifice on the altar. ¹⁴ But the meat of the bull, its skin and its dung, you must burn outside the camp. It is a sin offering.

¹⁵ “Then take one of the rams. Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on its head. ¹⁶ Kill the ram and gather its blood and pour it around the altar. ¹⁷ Cut the ram into pieces. Wash the entrails and the legs and put them with the pieces and the head. ¹⁸ Then burn the entire ram on the altar. It is a pleasing fragrance^[a] to the Lord, a burnt offering to the Lord.

¹⁹ “Take the second ram. Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on its head, ²⁰ and you shall kill it. Take part of its blood and place it on the right ear lobe of Aaron and the right ear lobes of his sons, on the thumbs of their right hands and on the big toes of their right feet. Then pour out the blood around the altar. ²¹ Take some of the blood on the altar and some anointing oil and sprinkle Aaron and his vestments, the sons of Aaron and their vestments. Thus, he shall be consecrated with his vestments together with his sons and their vestments.
