33 And you shall not go outside the entrance of the tent of meeting for seven days, until the days of your ordination are completed, for it 1will take seven days to ordain you.
34 As has been done today, the LORD has commanded to be done to make atonement for you.
35 At the entrance of the tent of meeting you shall remain day and night for seven days, performing what the LORD has 2charged, so that you do not die, for so I have been commanded."
