31And you shall take the ram of ordination and boil its flesh in a holy place.

32Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram and the bread that is in the basket at the entrance of the tent of meeting.

33They shall eat those things by which atonement was made, to ordain them and to consecrate them; but an outsider shall not eat them, because they are holy.

34And if any of the flesh of the ordination offering or any of the bread is left until the morning, then you shall burn what is left with fire. It shall not be eaten, because it is holy.
