And the religious leader who gives any man's burnt gift will keep for himself the skin of the burnt gift he has given.

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.

The fat of an animal that dies, and the fat of an animal torn by wild animals, may be used in other ways. But for sure you must not eat it.

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.

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.

This is the Law of the burnt gift, the grain gift, the sin gift, the guilt gift, the gift when the religious leader is set apart for the Lord's work, and the peace gift.

"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.

Then Moses took the oil for holy use and poured it on the meeting tent and all that was in it, and made them holy.

And he poured some of the oil for holy use on Aaron's head, to make him holy.

After he had washed the inside parts and the legs with water, Moses burned the whole ram on the altar. It was a burnt gift for a pleasing smell. It was a gift by fire to the Lord, just as the Lord had told Moses.

Then Moses brought the ram, the ram for setting them apart. Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.

He put all these on the hands of Aaron and his sons, and waved them for a wave gift before the Lord.

Moses took the breast of the ram also. He gave it as a wave gift before the Lord. It was Moses' part of the ram for setting Aaron and his sons apart, just as the Lord had told Moses.

Moses took some of the oil for holy use and some of the blood that was on the altar. He put it on Aaron and his clothing, and on his sons and their clothing. So Aaron and his clothing and his sons and their clothing were set apart.

Do not go outside the door of the meeting tent for seven days, until the time is over for you to be set apart. For it will take seven days to set you apart.

Stay day and night at the door of the meeting tent for seven days. Do what the Lord has told you to do, so you will not die. For this is what I have been told."

He said to Aaron, "Take a bull calf for a sin gift and a ram for a burnt gift, both of them perfect. And give them to the Lord.
