The religious leader among Aaron's sons, who is chosen to be in his place, will give it. By a Law forever, all of it will be burned and given to the Lord.

"Tell Aaron and his sons, ‘This is the Law of the sin gift. The sin gift will be killed before the Lord in the place where the burnt gift is killed. It is most holy.

With loaves of bread with yeast he will give his thank gift with the peace gifts.

But if his gift is for a promise or is given only because he wants to give it, it will be eaten the same day he gives his gift. And whatever is left may be eaten the next day.

If any of the flesh of his gift is eaten on the third day, then the one who brought it will not be received and it will not do him any good. It will be a sin. And the person who eats of it must suffer for his own sin.

But the person who is unclean, who eats the flesh of the peace gifts which belong to the Lord, will be kept away from his people.

And a person will be kept away from his people when he touches anything that is unclean, a human, animal or thing that is unclean, and then eats of the flesh of the peace gifts that belong to the Lord.'"

For whoever eats the fat of the animal from which a gift is given by fire to the Lord will be kept away from his people.

Whoever eats any blood will be kept away from his people.'"

"Say to the people of Israel, ‘Whoever gives his peace gift to the Lord will bring a part of it as a special gift to the Lord.

With his own hands he will bring the gift given to the Lord by fire. He will bring the fat with the breast so the breast may be given as a wave gift before the Lord.

The religious leader will burn the fat on the altar. But the breast will belong to Aaron and his sons.

And you will give the right thigh to the religious leader as his part of your peace gift.

The son of Aaron who gives the blood and the fat of the peace gift will have the right thigh for his share.

For I have taken the breast of the wave gift and the right thigh out of the peace gifts given by the people of Israel. And I have given them to Aaron the religious leader and to his sons as their share forever from the people of Israel.

‘This is the share for Aaron and his sons from the gifts made by fire to the Lord. It was set apart for them on the day they were set apart to work as religious leaders for the Lord.

"Take Aaron and his sons, and the clothing, the oil for holy use, the bull for the sin gift, the two rams and the basket of bread without yeast.

Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed them with water.

He dressed him with the coat, the belt, the long piece of clothing, and the linen vest. He tied the well-made rope of the linen vest, to keep his clothing in place.

He put the head covering on his head. And on the front of it he put the gold plate, the holy crown, just as the Lord had told Moses.
