This week's Sidra is a continuation of the Laws of the Sacrifices.

The Priests were commanded to keep a fire burning continuously on the altar. The sacrifices from which the Priests were permitted to eat are then enumerated. Their permission was qualified, however: the Priests had to be in a state of ritual purity, and the Priestly portions often had to be consumed within certain boundaries and time frames.

Aaron, the High Priest, was to bring a meal offering both morning and evening on behalf of all the Kohanim.

Over a seven-day period Aaron and his sons were consecrated to their positions by Moses. Moses robed Aaron in the High Priest's garments and anointed his head with oil. The other Priests were also dressed and anointed, and special sacrificial offerings concluded the ceremony.
