“Thus you are to do for Aaron and for his sons, according to all that I have commanded you; you are to consecrate them for seven days.

“You are to clothe them – your brother Aaron and his sons with him – and anoint them and ordain them and set them apart as holy, so that they may minister as my priests.

“The holy garments that belong to Aaron are to belong to his sons after him, so that they may be anointed in them and consecrated in them.

They are to eat those things by which atonement was made to consecrate and to set them apart, but no one else may eat them, for they are holy.

and you are to kill the ram and take some of its blood and put it on the tip of the right ear of Aaron, on the tip of the right ear of his sons, on the thumb of their right hand, and on the big toe of their right foot, and then splash the blood all around on the altar.
