Så skal du ta av fettet fra væren, halen, fettet som dekker innvollene, fettlappen på leveren, begge nyrene med det fettet som er på dem, og det høyre låret. Denne væren skal være innvielsesofferet. Ta også et brød, en kake av olivenolje fra kurven med brød som ikke er hevet og som står for Herrens ansikt, og legg alt dette i hendene til Aron og hans sønner. Løft dette opp mot Gud som en offergave. La det så gå opp i røyk sammen med brennofferet, som en behagelig duft for Herren. Det er et matoffer i Herrens nærvær. Så skal du ta bryststykket fra offerdyret av Arons innvielse og løfte det opp som et offer for Herren. Dette skal være din del.
