Exodus 40:12

¹⁰ Anoint the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils; consecrate the altar, and it shall be most holy.

¹¹ Anoint the basin and its stand and consecrate them.

Then bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and wash them with water.

¹³ And you are to clothe Aaron with the holy garments, anoint him, and consecrate him, so that he may serve Me as a priest.

¹⁴ Bring his sons forward and clothe them with tunics.

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.
