Exodus 29:4
2 along with unleavened bread, unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil. Make them out of fine wheat flour,
3 put them in a basket, and present them in the basket, along with the bull and the two rams.
Then present Aaron and his sons at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and wash them with water.
5 Take the garments and clothe Aaron with the tunic, the robe of the ephod, the ephod itself, and the breastplate. Fasten the ephod on him with its woven waistband.
6 Put the turban on his head and attach the holy diadem to the turban.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
