And Moses said unto Aaron and to his sons, Boil the flesh at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and there eat it with the bread that is in the basket of consecrations, as I commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons shall eat it.
Then Moses said to Aaron and his sons, 'Cook the meat at the entrance of the tent of meeting, and eat it there with the bread from the basket of ordination offerings, just as I was commanded. Aaron and his sons are to eat it.'
Moses is instructing Aaron and his sons to eat the sacred meal at the tabernacle as part of their ordination ceremony, following God's specific commands.
