2
"Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, and the bull of the sin offering, and the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread;

32 Burn up any meat or bread that is left over.
32
What remains of the flesh and of the bread you shall burn with fire.
33 You shall not leave the entrance of the Tent for seven days, until your ordination rites are completed.

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