23 aone loaf of bread, one cake made with oil, and one wafer from the basket of the unleavened bread that is before the Lord;
24 and you shall put all these in the hands of Aaron and in the hands of his sons, and you shall awave them as a wave offering before the Lord.
25 aYou shall receive them back from their hands and burn them on the altar as a burnt offering, as a sweet aroma before the Lord. It is an offering made by fire to the Lord.

32 Then Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the abread that is in the basket, by the door of the tabernacle of meeting.
33 aThey shall eat those things with which the atonement was made, to consecrate and to sanctify them; bbut an outsider shall not eat them, because they are holy.
34 And if any of the flesh of the consecration offerings, or of the bread, remains until the morning, then ayou shall burn the remainder with fire. It shall not be eaten, because it is holy.
35 “Thus you shall do to Aaron and his sons, according to all that I have commanded you. aSeven days you shall consecrate them.
36 And you ashall offer a bull every day as a sin offering for atonement. bYou shall cleanse the altar when you make atonement for it, and you shall anoint it to sanctify it.
