19Then you shall take the second ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram.

20Then you shall slaughter the ram, and take some of its blood and put it on the lobe of Aaron’s right ear, and on the lobe of the right ear of his sons, and on the thumb of their right hand, and on the big toe of their right foot; and you shall throw the blood against the altar all around.

21Then you shall take some of the blood that is on the altar and some of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it on Aaron and on his garments and on his sons and on the garments of his sons with him; and he and his garments shall be holy, and his sons and the garments of his sons with him.
