Leviticus 8 | The Ordination of Aaron n' his Offspring

Then God told Moses to grab a bunch of religious and sacrificial stuff and gather the Israelites at the Tentmoot.  Aaron and his sons got dressed for priestin' and Moses went about ritualistically anointing everything in a manner that, today, would be seen as some kinda folksy witchcraft.
While my witchy poetry may leave a little something to be desired, now I have Moses playing Quidditch in my head, his beard majestically flapping about in the wind as a bludger tries to smite him.  And I like this image.  And I'm going to continue imagining it for a bit before I continue writing.
Moving on.

They slaughtered a bull and performed a sin offering, a ram for a burnt offering, another ram for ordination, and Justin Bieber because it was just the right thing to do.
"Where's the rest of him?"
"Burnt offering."
Moses told Aaron and his sons to boil the remaining meat of the offerings at the Tentmoot entrance and nom upon it there.  "Any meat or bread left over," he said, "must be burned, and you must remain at the Tentmoot entrance for seven days, so's all y'alls can be ordained.  All the stuff we did today was required by God to have you purified so y'all are tight with him.  Stay here for a week and do whatever God tells you or--"

"Or we'll die," they interrupted in unison.  "We know."
