Leviticus 8:20-30

20 ipsumque arietem in frusta concidens caput eius et artus et adipem adolevit igni

21 lotis prius intestinis et pedibus totumque simul arietem incendit super altare eo quod esset holocaustum suavissimi odoris Domino sicut praeceperat ei

22 obtulit et arietem secundum in consecrationem sacerdotum posueruntque super caput illius Aaron et filii eius manus suas

23 quem cum immolasset Moses sumens de sanguine tetigit extremum auriculae dextrae Aaron et pollicem manus eius dextrae similiter et pedis

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
