on, when he cometh{H935} into the tent{H168} of meeting{H4150} to minister{H8334} in the holy{H6944} place. 31 And thou shalt take{H3947} the ram{H352} of consecration,{H4394} and boil{H1310} its flesh{H1320} in a holy{H6918} place.{H4725} 32 And Aaron{H175} and his sons{H1121} shall eat{H398} the flesh{H1320} of the ram,{H352} and the bread{H3899} that is in the basket,{H5536} at the

shall not eat{H398} thereof, because they are holy.{H6944} 34 And if aught of the flesh{H1320} of the consecration,{H4394} or of the bread,{H3899} remain{H3498} unto the morning,{H1242} then thou shalt burn{H8313} the remainder{H3498} with fire:{H784} it shall not be eaten,{H398} because it is holy.{H6944} 35 And thus shalt thou do{H6213} unto Aaron,{H175} and to his sons,{H1121} according to all that I have commanded{H6680} thee: seven{H7651} days{H3117} shalt thou consecrate{H4390} them. 36 And every day{H3117} shalt thou offer{H6213} the bullock{H6499} of sin-offering{H2403} for atonement:{H3725} and thou shalt cleanse{H2398} the altar,{H4196} when thou makest atonement{H3722} for it; and thou shalt anoint{H4886} it, to sanctify{H6942} it. 37 Seven{H7651} days{H3117} thou shalt make atonement{H3722} for the altar,{H4196} and sanctify{H6942} it: and the altar{H4196} shall be most holy;{H6944} whatsoever toucheth{H5060} the altar{H4196} shall be holy.{H6944}
