The story
What happens, plainly.
Hashem tells Moshe to command Aharon and his sons. The olah stays on the altar all night, and the fire on the altar must burn always and never go out. Each morning the kohen puts on his linen garments and lifts the ashes, then changes into other garments to carry them outside the camp. The parsha teaches the kohanim the laws of the mincha, the sin offering, the guilt offering and the peace offerings, including the thanksgiving offering that must be eaten on the day it is brought, and forbids eating fat or blood. Then Moshe gathers the whole community at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting. He washes Aharon and his sons, dresses Aharon, places the Urim and Tumim in the breastplate, and anoints the Mishkan and Aharon with oil. He puts blood on the right ear, right thumb and right big toe of each of them, and for seven days they stay at the entrance of the Tent. Aharon and his sons do everything Hashem commanded.
