"Speak to the children of Yisra'el, saying, 'He who offers the sacrifice of his shalom offerings to the LORD shall bring his offering to the LORD out of the sacrifice of his shalom offerings.

With his own hands he shall bring the offerings of the LORD made by fire. He shall bring the fat with the breast, that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before the LORD.

The Kohen shall burn the fat on the altar, but the breast shall be Aharon's and his sons'.

For the waved breast and the heaved thigh I have taken from the children of Yisra'el out of the sacrifices of their shalom offerings, and have given them to Aharon the Kohen and to his sons as their portion forever from the children of Yisra'el.'"

This is the anointing portion of Aharon, and the anointing portion of his sons, out of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, in the day when he presented them to minister to the LORD in the Kohen's office;

"Take Aharon and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, and the bull of the sin offering, and the two rams, and the basket of matzah;

Moshe brought Aharon and his sons, and washed them with water.

He set the turban on his head; and on the turban, in front, he set the golden plate, the holy crown; as the LORD commanded Moshe.

He brought the bull of the sin offering, and Aharon and his sons laid their hands on the head of the bull of the sin offering.

He killed it; and Moshe took the blood, and put it on the horns of the altar round about with his finger, and purified the altar, and poured out the blood at the base of the altar, and sanctified it, to make atonement for it.

He presented the ram of the burnt offering: and Aharon and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.

He presented the other ram, the ram of consecration: and Aharon and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.

He killed it; and Moshe took some of its blood, and put it on the tip of Aharon's right ear, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot.

He put all these in Aharon's hands and in his sons' hands, and waved them for a wave offering before the LORD.

Moshe took some of the anointing oil, and some of the blood which was on the altar, and sprinkled it on Aharon, on his garments, and on his sons, and on his sons' garments with him, and sanctified Aharon, his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him.

Moshe said to Aharon and to his sons, "Boil the flesh at the door of the Tent of Meeting, and there eat it and the bread that is in the basket of consecration, as I commanded, saying, 'Aharon and his sons shall eat it.'

Aharon and his sons did all the things which the LORD commanded by Moshe.

It happened on the eighth day, that Moshe called Aharon and his sons, and the Zakenim of Yisra'el;

The sons of Aharon presented the blood to him; and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it on the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the base of the altar:

He presented the meal offering, and filled his hand from there, and burned it upon the altar, besides the burnt offering of the morning.
