Leviticus 8:25-35

25 He took the fat, and the fat tail, and all the fat that was on the innards, and the cover of the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and the right thigh;

26 and out of the basket of matzah, that was before the LORD, he took one unleavened cake, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and placed them on the fat, and on the right thigh.

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

28 Moshe took them from their hands, and burned them on the altar on the burnt offering. They were a consecration for a sweet savor. It was an offering made by fire to the LORD.

29 Moshe took the breast, and waved it for a wave offering before the LORD. It was Moshe' portion of the ram of consecration, as the LORD commanded Moshe.

30 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.

31 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.'

32 What remains of the flesh and of the bread you shall burn with fire.

33 You shall not go out from the door of The tent of Meeting seven days, until the days of your consecration are fulfilled: for he shall consecrate you seven days.

34 What has been done this day, so the LORD has commanded to do, to make atonement for you.

35 At the door of the Tent of Meeting you shall stay day and night seven days, and keep the charge of the LORD, that you don't die: for so I am commanded."
