And thou shalt gird them with girdles, Aaron and his sons, and put the bonnets on them: and the priest’s office shall be theirs for a perpetual statute: and thou shalt consecrate Aaron and his sons.
You shall wrap sashes around Aaron and his sons, and put special hats on them. The priesthood will belong to them as a lasting law. You shall set apart Aaron and his sons for this holy work.
God is establishing Aaron and his sons as priests through a special ceremony, making this role theirs permanently according to His divine plan.
