God told Moses to gather all the Israelites in front of the tabernacle and prepare to ordain Aaron and his sons, bringing a bull, 2 rams and a basket of bread ready for the ceremony. Then Moses washed Aaron and his sons before dressing Aaron with the full high priestly regalia.
Then Moses anointed the tabernacle and everything in it and anointed Aaron too representing the Holy Spirit giving power for service. He also brought Aaron's sons forward and dressed them with tunics, sashes and headbands.
Aaron and his sons then put their hands on the bulls head before slaughtering it as a sin offering, and put some of its blood on the horns of the altar. They then burnt the kidneys, liver and fat on the altar before burning the rest of the bull outside the camp.
Aaron and his sons then put their hands on one of the ram's heads before killing it and sprinkling its blood on the altar. He then burnt the ram as a burnt offering unto the Lord.
Moses then took the other ram to offer it as the ordination sacrifice and Aaron and his sons put their hands on its head before Moses killed it. He put some of the animal's blood on the right ear lobes of Aaron and his son's, plus on their right thumbs and right big toes! Then they waved parts of this ram as a wave offering to God before burning it on the altar.
Then Moses anointed Aaron and his sons and consecrated them to the priestly ministry. They then cooked the outstanding meat and ate it with the bread, and they remained in the tabernacle for 7 days of consecration.
