29
1 “This
is the thing
that you shall
do to them
to make them
holy, to minister
to me in
the priest’s office:
take one young
bull and two rams
without defect,
2 unleavened
bread, unleavened
cakes mixed with
oil, and
unleavened wafers
anointed with oil.
You shall make
them of fine
wheat flour.
3 You
shall put them
into one basket,
and bring them
in the basket,
with the bull
and the two rams.
4 You
shall bring Aaron
and his sons
to the door
of the Tent of
Meeting, and shall
wash them with
water.
5 You shall
take the garments,
and put on Aaron
the tunic, the
robe of the ephod,
the ephod, and the
breastplate, and
clothe him with
the skillfully
woven band of
the ephod.
6 You
shall set the
turban on his
head, and put
the holy crown
on the turban.
7 Then
you shall take
the anointing oil,
and pour it
on his head,
and anoint him.
8 You
shall bring his
sons, and put
tunics on them.
9 You
shall clothe them
with belts, Aaron and
his sons, and
bind headbands on
them. They shall
have the
priesthood by a
perpetual statute.
You shall
consecrate Aaron and
his sons.
10 “You
shall bring the
bull before
the Tent of
Meeting; and Aaron
and his sons
shall lay their
hands on the
head of the
bull.
11 You
shall kill the
bull before the
LORD at the
door of the Tent
of Meeting.
12 You
shall take of
the blood of
the bull, and
put it on
the horns of
the altar with
your finger; and
you shall pour
out all the
blood at the
base of the
altar.
13 You
shall take all
the fat that
covers the innards,
the cover of
the liver, the
two kidneys, and
the fat that
is on them,
and burn them
on the altar.
14 But
the meat of
the bull, and its
skin, and its dung,
you shall burn
with fire outside
of the camp.
It is a
sin offering.
15 “You
shall also take
the one ram,
and Aaron and his
sons shall lay
their hands on
the head of
the ram.
16 You
shall kill the ram,
and you shall
take its blood,
and sprinkle it
around on the
altar.
17 You
shall cut the ram
into its pieces,
and wash
its innards, and
its legs, and
put them with
its pieces, and
with its head.
18 You
shall burn the
whole ram on the
altar: it is
a burnt offering
to the LORD;
it is a pleasant
aroma, an offering
made by fire to
the LORD.
19 “You
shall take the
other ram, and Aaron
and his sons
shall lay their
hands on the
head of the ram.
20 Then
you shall kill
the ram, and take
some of its
blood, and put
it on the
tip of the
right ear of Aaron,
and on the
tip of the
right ear of his
sons, and on
the thumb of their
right hand, and
on the big toe of
their right foot;
and sprinkle the
blood around on
the altar.
21 You
shall take of
the blood that
is on the
altar, and of
the anointing oil,
and sprinkle it
on Aaron, and on
his garments, and
on his sons,
and on the garments
of his sons
with him: and
he shall be
made holy, and
his garments, and
his sons, and
his sons’ garments
with him.
22 Also
you shall take
some of the ram’s
fat, the fat tail,
the fat that
covers the innards,
the cover of
the liver, the
two kidneys, the
fat that is
on them, and
the right thigh (for
it is a ram
of consecration),
23 and
one loaf of
bread, one cake
of oiled bread,
and one wafer
out of the
basket of
unleavened bread
that is before
the LORD.
24 You
shall put all
of this in Aaron’s
hands, and in
his sons’ hands,
and shall wave
them for a
wave offering
before the LORD.
25 You
shall take them
from their hands,
and burn them
on the altar
on the burnt
offering, for
a pleasant aroma
before the LORD:
it is an
offering made
by fire to the
LORD.
26 “You
shall take the
breast of Aaron’s ram
of consecration,
and wave it
for a wave
offering before
the LORD. It
shall be your
portion.
27 You shall
sanctify the
breast of the
wave offering and
the thigh of
the wave offering,
which is waved,
and which is
raised up, of
the ram of
consecration, even of
that which is
for Aaron, and of
that which is for
his sons.
28 It
shall be for Aaron
and his sons
as their portion
forever from the
children of Israel;
for it is
a wave offering.
It shall be
a wave offering
from the children
of Israel of
the sacrifices of
their peace
offerings, even
their wave offering
to the LORD.
29 “The
holy garments of Aaron
shall be for
his sons after
him, to be
anointed in them,
and to be
consecrated in
them.
30 Seven
days shall the
son who is
priest in his
place put them
on, when he
comes into the Tent
of Meeting to
minister in the
holy place.
31 “You
shall take the ram
of consecration
and boil its
meat in a
holy place.
32 Aaron and
his sons shall
eat the meat
of the ram, and
the bread that
is in the
basket, at the
door of the Tent
of Meeting.
33 They
shall eat those
things with which
atonement was made,
to consecrate and
sanctify them; but
a stranger shall
not eat of it,
because they are
holy.
34 If
anything of the
meat of the
consecration, or
of the bread,
remains to the
morning, then you
shall burn the
remainder with fire.
It shall not
be eaten, because
it is holy.
35 “You
shall do so
to Aaron and to
his sons,
according to all
that I have
commanded you. You
shall consecrate
them seven days.
36 Every
day you shall
offer the bull
of sin offering
for atonement. You
shall cleanse the
altar when you
make atonement for
it. You shall
anoint it, to
sanctify it.
37 Seven
days you shall
make atonement for
the altar, and
sanctify it; and
the altar shall
be most holy.
Whatever touches
the altar shall
be holy.
38 “Now
this is that
which you shall
offer on the
altar: two lambs
a year old
day by day
continually.
39 The
one lamb you
shall offer in
the morning; and
the other lamb
you shall offer
at evening;
40 and
with the one
lamb a tenth
part of an ephah
of fine flour
mixed with the
fourth part of
a hin
of beaten oil,
and the fourth
part of a
hin of wine
for a drink
offering.
41 The
other lamb you
shall offer at
evening, and shall
do to it according
to the meal
offering of the
morning and according
to its drink
offering, for
a pleasant aroma,
an offering made
by fire to the
LORD.
42 It
shall be a
continual burnt
offering throughout
your generations
at the door
of the Tent of
Meeting before the
LORD, where I
will meet with
you, to speak
there to you.
43 There
I will meet
with the children
of Israel; and
the place shall
be sanctified by
my glory.
44 I
will sanctify
the Tent of
Meeting and the
altar. I will
also sanctify Aaron
and his sons
to minister to
me in the
priest’s office.
45 I
will dwell among
the children of
Israel, and will
be their God.
46 They
shall know that
I am the
LORD their God,
who brought them
out of the land
of Egypt, that
I might dwell
among them: I
am the LORD
their God.
