Exodus 29:21-23
New English Translation
21 You are to take some of the blood that is on the altar and some of the anointing oil and sprinkle it[a] on Aaron, on his garments, on his sons, and on his sons’ garments with him, so that he may be holy,[b] he and his garments along with his sons and his sons’ garments.
22 “You are to take from the ram the fat, the fat tail, the fat that covers the entrails, the lobe[c] of the liver, the two kidneys and the fat that is on them, and the right thigh—for it is the ram for consecration[d]— 23 and one round flat cake of bread, one perforated cake of oiled bread, and one wafer from the basket of bread made without yeast that is before the Lord.
