24. And you shall put all in the hands of Aaron, and in the hands of his sons; and shall wave them for a wave offering before the Lord.
25. And you shall receive them from their hands, and burn them upon the altar for a burnt offering, for a sweet savor before the Lord; it is an offering made by fire to the Lord.
26. And you shall take the breast of the ram of Aaron's consecration, and wave it for a wave offering before the Lord; and it shall be your portion.

35. And thus shall you do to Aaron, and to his sons, according to all things which I have commanded you; seven days shall you consecrate them.
36. And you shall offer every day a bull for a sin offering for atonement; and you shall cleanse the altar, when you have made an atonement for it, and you shall anoint it, to sanctify it.
37. Seven days you shall make an atonement for the altar, and sanctify it; and it shall be an altar most holy; whatever touches the altar shall be holy.
38. And this is what you shall offer upon the altar; two lambs of the first year day by day continually.
39. The one lamb you shall offer in the morning; and the other lamb you shall offer at evening;
40. And with the one lamb a tenth deal of flour mixed with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil; and the fourth part of a hin of wine for a drink offering.
41. And the other lamb you shall offer at evening, and shall do to it according to the meal offering of the morning, and according to its drink offering, for a sweet savor, an offering made by fire to the Lord.
42. This shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the Tent of Meeting before the Lord; where I will meet you, to speak there to you.
43. And there I will meet with the people of Israel, and it shall be sanctified by my glory.
44. And I will sanctify the Tent of Meeting, and the altar; I will sanctify also both Aaron and his sons, to minister to me in the priest's office.
45. And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God.
46. And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, that brought them out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them; I am the Lord their God.

3. And you shall overlay it with pure gold, its top, and the sides around it, and its horns; and you shall make for it around a rim of gold.
4. And two golden rings shall you make for it under its rim, by its two corners, upon its two sides shall you make it; and they shall be holders for the carrying poles.
5. And you shall make the poles of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.
6. And you shall put it before the veil that is by the ark of the Testimony, before the covering that is over the Testimony, where I will meet with you.
7. And Aaron shall burn on it sweet incense every morning; when he dresses the lamps, he shall burn incense upon it.
8. And when Aaron lights the lamps at evening, he shall burn incense upon it, an everlasting incense before the Lord throughout your generations.
9. You shall offer no strange incense on it, nor burnt sacrifice, nor meal offering; nor shall you pour drink offering on it.
10. And Aaron shall make an atonement upon its horns once a year with the blood of the sin offering of atonements; once a year shall he make atonement upon it throughout your generations; it is most holy to the Lord.
