Have you all not driven out the priests of the Lord, even the Levites and sons of Aaron, and made for yourselves priests from the peoples of other lands? Whoever comes to be dedicated and has in his hand a young bull or seven rams becomes a priest to what is not a god.
It shall be for Aaron and his sons by a statute forever, for it is a contribution. It shall be a contribution from the Israelites from their peace offerings, their contributions to the Lord.
Then you shall anoint them just as you anointed their father, so that they may minister to Me as priests, for their anointing will surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.
The priest, who is anointed and consecrated to minister as a priest in the place of his father, shall make atonement, and shall put on the linen garments, the holy garments.
The Lord spoke to Aaron: Behold, I have given you charge of the offerings made to Me, all the sanctified gifts of the Israelites. To you and to your sons have I given them as a portion, as an ordinance forever.
And the assembly will deliver the manslayer out of the hand of the avenger of blood, and the assembly will restore him to the city of his refuge where he fled, and he will dwell in it until the death of the high priest, who was anointed with the holy oil.
