Leviticus 8:31-36

Listen to Leviticus 8:31-36
31 Moses said to Aaron and his sons: "Cook the meat at the meeting tent's entrance. You may eat it there along with the bread that is in the basket of the ordination offering, just as I was commanded, ‘Aaron and his sons can eat it.'
32 But you must burn whatever is left over of the meat and bread with fire.
33 You must not leave the meeting tent's entrance for seven days, until the period of your ordination is completed, because your ordination takes seven days.
34 What was done today was commanded by the LORD, to make reconciliation for you.
35 You must stay at the meeting tent's entrance for seven days, day and night, observing the LORD's requirement so you don't die, because that's what I was commanded."
36 Aaron and his sons did everything the LORD commanded through Moses.
