Aaron

"Tell Aharon and his sons, 'This is the law for the sin offering: the sin offering is to be slaughtered before ADONAI in the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered; it is especially holy.

But every grain offering which is mixed with olive oil or is dry will belong to all the sons of Aharon equally.

The cohen is to make the fat go up in smoke on the altar, but the breast will belong to Aharon and his descendants.

The descendant of Aharon who offers the blood of the peace offerings is to have the right thigh as his share.

For the breast that has been waved and the thigh that has been contributed I have taken from the people of Isra'el out of their sacrifices of peace offerings and given them to Aharon the cohen and to his descendants as their share forever from the people of Isra'el.'"

On the day when Aharon and his sons were presented to serve ADONAI in the office of cohen, this portion was set aside for him and his descendants from the offerings for ADONAI made by fire.

"Take Aharon and his sons with him, the garments, the anointing oil, the bull for the sin offering, the two rams and the basket of matzah;

Moshe brought Aharon and his sons, washed them with water,

He poured some of the anointing oil on Aharon's head and anointed him, to consecrate him.

Moshe brought Aharon's sons, clothed them with tunics, wrapped sashes on them and put headgear on them, as ADONAI had ordered Moshe.

Then the young bull for the sin offering was brought, and Aharon and his sons laid their hands on the head of the bull for the sin offering.

Next, the ram for the burnt offering was presented. Aharon and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram;

Then the other ram was presented, the ram of consecration; Aharon and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.

After it had been slaughtered, Moshe took some of its blood and put it on the tip of Aharon's right ear, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.

Next Aharon's sons were brought, and Moshe put some of the blood on the tips of their right ears, on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet; then Moshe splashed the blood on all sides of the altar.

Then he put it all in Aharon's hands and in the hands of his sons and waved them as a wave offering before ADONAI.

Moshe took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood which was on the altar and sprinkled it on Aharon and his clothing, and on his sons with him and their clothing, and consecrated Aharon and his clothing together with his sons and their clothing.

Moshe said to Aharon and his sons, "Boil the meat at the door of the tent of meeting; and eat it there with the bread that is in the basket of consecration, as I ordered when I said that Aharon and his sons are to eat it.

Aharon and his sons did all the things which ADONAI ordered through Moshe. Suggested readings for Parashah Tzav from the B'rit Hadashah: Mark

On the eighth day, Moshe called Aharon, his sons and the leaders of Isra'el,

and said to Aharon, "Take a male calf for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering, both without defect, and offer them before ADONAI.

Moshe told Aharon, "Approach the altar, offer your sin offering and burnt offering, and make atonement for yourself and the people. Then present the offering of the people and make atonement for them, as ADONAI ordered."

So Aharon approached the altar and slaughtered the calf of the sin offering which was for himself.

The sons of Aharon presented the blood to him; and he dipped his finger in the blood and put it on the horns of the altar; then he poured out the blood at the base of the altar.

Next he slaughtered the burnt offering; Aharon's sons brought him the blood, and he splashed it against all sides of the altar.
