Leviticus 8:24-34

24 obtulit et filios Aaron cumque de sanguine arietis immolati tetigisset extremum auriculae singulorum dextrae et pollices manus ac pedis dextri reliquum fudit super altare per circuitum

25 adipem vero et caudam omnemque pinguedinem quae operit intestina reticulumque iecoris et duos renes cum adipibus suis et armo dextro separavit

26 tollens autem de canistro azymorum quod erat coram Domino panem absque fermento et collyridam conspersam oleo laganumque posuit super adipes et armum dextrum

27 tradens simul omnia Aaron et filiis eius qui postquam levaverunt ea coram Domino

28 rursum suscepta de manibus eorum adolevit super altare holocausti eo quod consecrationis esset oblatio in odorem suavitatis sacrificii Domini

29 tulit et pectusculum elevans illud coram Domino de ariete consecrationis in partem suam sicut praeceperat ei Dominus

30 adsumensque unguentum et sanguinem qui erat in altari aspersit super Aaron et vestimenta eius et super filios illius ac vestes eorum

31 cumque sanctificasset eos in vestitu suo praecepit eis dicens coquite carnes ante fores tabernaculi et ibi comedite eas panes quoque consecrationis edite qui positi sunt in canistro sicut praecepit mihi dicens Aaron et filii eius comedent eos

32 quicquid autem reliquum fuerit de carne et panibus ignis absumet

33 de ostio quoque tabernaculi non exibitis septem diebus usque ad diem quo conplebitur tempus consecrationis vestrae septem enim diebus finitur consecratio

34 sicut et inpraesentiarum factum est ut ritus sacrificii conpleretur
