Exodus 29

1 “Now this is what you are to do to consecrate Aaron and his sons to serve Me as priests: Take a young bull and two rams without blemish,

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.

4 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.

7 Then take the anointing oil and anoint him by pouring it on his head.

8 Present his sons as well and clothe them with tunics.

9 Wrap the sashes around Aaron and his sons and tie headbands on them. The priesthood shall be theirs by a permanent statute. In this way you are to ordain Aaron and his sons.

10 You are to present the bull at the front of the Tent of Meeting, and Aaron and his sons are to lay their hands on its head.

11 And you shall slaughter the bull before the LORD at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

12 Take some of the blood of the bull and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger; then pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

13 Take all the fat that covers the entrails and the lobe of the liver, and both kidneys with the fat on them, and burn them on the altar.

14 But burn the flesh of the bull and its hide and dung outside the camp; it is a sin offering.

15 Take one of the rams, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on its head.

16 You are to slaughter the ram, take its blood, and splatter it on all sides of the altar.

17 Cut the ram into pieces, wash the entrails and legs, and place them with its head and other pieces.

18 Then burn the entire ram on the altar; it is a burnt offering to the LORD, a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the LORD.

19 Take the second ram, and Aaron and his sons are to lay their hands on its head.

20 Slaughter the ram, take some of its blood, and put it on the right earlobes of Aaron and his sons, on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet. Splatter the remaining blood on all sides of the altar.

21 And take some of the blood on the altar and some of the anointing oil and sprinkle it on Aaron and his garments, as well as on his sons and their garments. Then he and his garments will be consecrated, as well as his sons and their garments.

22 Take the fat from the ram, the fat tail, the fat covering the entrails, the lobe of the liver, both kidneys with the fat on them, and the right thigh (since this is a ram for ordination),

23 along with one loaf of bread, one cake of bread made with oil, and one wafer from the basket of unleavened bread that is before the LORD.

24 Put all these in the hands of Aaron and his sons and wave them before the LORD as a wave offering.

25 Then take them from their hands and burn them on the altar atop the burnt offering as a pleasing aroma before the LORD; it is a food offering to the LORD.

26 Take the breast of the ram of Aaron’s ordination and wave it before the LORD as a wave offering, and it will be your portion.

27 Consecrate for Aaron and his sons the breast of the wave offering that is waved and the thigh of the heave offering that is lifted up from the ram of ordination.

28 This will belong to Aaron and his sons as a regular portion from the Israelites, for it is the heave offering the Israelites will make to the LORD from their peace offerings.

29 The holy garments that belong to Aaron will belong to his sons after him, so they can be anointed and ordained in them.

30 The son who succeeds him as priest and enters the Tent of Meeting to minister in the Holy Place must wear them for seven days.

31 You are to take the ram of ordination and boil its flesh in a holy place.

32 At the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, Aaron and his sons are to eat the meat of the ram and the bread that is in the basket.

33 They must eat those things by which atonement was made for their ordination and consecration. But no outsider may eat them, because these things are sacred.

34 And if any of the meat of ordination or any bread is left until the morning, you are to burn up the remainder. It must not be eaten, because it is sacred.

35 This is what you are to do for Aaron and his sons based on all that I have commanded you, taking seven days to ordain them.

36 Sacrifice a bull as a sin offering each day for atonement. Purify the altar by making atonement for it, and anoint it to consecrate it.

37 For seven days you shall make atonement for the altar and consecrate it. Then the altar will become most holy; whatever touches the altar will be holy.

38 This is what you are to offer regularly on the altar, each day: two lambs that are a year old.

39 Offer one lamb in the morning and the other at twilight.

40 With the first lamb offer a tenth of an ephah of fine flour, mixed with a quarter hin of oil from pressed olives, and a drink offering of a quarter hin of wine.

41 And offer the second lamb at twilight with the same grain offering and drink offering as in the morning, as a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the LORD.

42 For the generations to come, this burnt offering shall be made regularly at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting before the LORD, where I will meet you to speak with you.

43 I will also meet with the Israelites there, and that place will be consecrated by My glory.

44 So I will consecrate the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and I will consecrate Aaron and his sons to serve Me as priests.

45 Then I will dwell among the Israelites and be their God.

46 And they will know that I am the LORD their God, who brought them out of the land of Egypt so that I might dwell among them. I am the LORD their God.

1 ¶ And this [is] the thing that thou shalt do unto them to hallow them, to minister unto me in the priest's office: Take one young bullock, and two rams without blemish,

2 And unleavened bread, and cakes unleavened tempered with oil, and wafers unleavened anointed with oil: [of] wheaten flour shalt thou make them.

3 And thou shalt put them into one basket, and bring them in the basket, with the bullock and the two rams.

4 And Aaron and his sons thou shalt bring unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shalt wash them with water.

5 And thou shalt take the garments, and put upon Aaron the coat, and the robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate, and gird him with the curious girdle of the ephod:

6 And thou shalt put the mitre upon his head, and put the holy crown upon the mitre.

7 Then shalt thou take the anointing oil, and pour [it] upon his head, and anoint him.

8 And thou shalt bring his sons, and put coats upon them.

9 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.

10 And thou shalt cause a bullock to be brought before the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the bullock.

11 And thou shalt kill the bullock before the LORD, [by] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

12 And thou shalt take of the blood of the bullock, and put [it] upon the horns of the altar with thy finger, and pour all the blood beside the bottom of the altar.

13 And thou shalt take all the fat that covereth the inwards, and the caul [that is] above the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that [is] upon them, and burn [them] upon the altar.

14 But the flesh of the bullock, and his skin, and his dung, shalt thou burn with fire without the camp: it [is] a sin offering.

15 Thou shalt also take one ram; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram.

16 And thou shalt slay the ram, and thou shalt take his blood, and sprinkle [it] round about upon the altar.

17 And thou shalt cut the ram in pieces, and wash the inwards of him, and his legs, and put [them] unto his pieces, and unto his head.

18 And thou shalt burn the whole ram upon the altar: it [is] a burnt offering unto the LORD: it [is] a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto the LORD.

19 And thou shalt take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram.

20 Then shalt thou kill the ram, and take of his blood, and put [it] upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and upon the tip of the right ear of his sons, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about.

21 And thou shalt take of the blood that [is] upon the altar, and of the anointing oil, and sprinkle [it] upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon the garments of his sons with him: and he shall be hallowed, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him.

22 Also thou shalt take of the ram the fat and the rump, and the fat that covereth the inwards, and the caul [above] the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that [is] upon them, and the right shoulder; for it [is] a ram of consecration:

23 And one loaf of bread, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer out of the basket of the unleavened bread that [is] before the LORD:

24 And thou shalt put all in the hands of Aaron, and in the hands of his sons; and shalt wave them [for] a wave offering before the LORD.

25 And thou shalt receive them of their hands, and burn [them] upon the altar for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour before the LORD: it [is] an offering made by fire unto the LORD.

26 And thou shalt take the breast of the ram of Aaron's consecration, and wave it [for] a wave offering before the LORD: and it shall be thy part.

27 And thou shalt sanctify the breast of the wave offering, and the shoulder of the heave offering, which is waved, and which is heaved up, of the ram of the consecration, [even] of [that] which [is] for Aaron, and of [that] which is for his sons:

28 And it shall be Aaron's and his sons' by a statute for ever from the children of Israel: for it [is] an heave offering: and it shall be an heave offering from the children of Israel of the sacrifice of their peace offerings, [even] their heave offering unto the LORD.

29 And the holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons' after him, to be anointed therein, and to be consecrated in them.

30 [And] that son that is priest in his stead shall put them on seven days, when he cometh into the tabernacle of the congregation to minister in the holy [place].

31 And thou shalt take the ram of the consecration, and seethe his flesh in the holy place.

32 And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread that [is] in the basket, [by] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

33 And they shall eat those things wherewith the atonement was made, to consecrate [and] to sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat [thereof], because they [are] holy.

34 And if ought of the flesh of the consecrations, or of the bread, remain unto the morning, then thou shalt burn the remainder with fire: it shall not be eaten, because it [is] holy.

35 And thus shalt thou do unto Aaron, and to his sons, according to all [things] which I have commanded thee: seven days shalt thou consecrate them.

36 And thou shalt offer every day a bullock [for] a sin offering for atonement: and thou shalt cleanse the altar, when thou hast made an atonement for it, and thou shalt anoint it, to sanctify it.

37 Seven days thou shalt make an atonement for the altar, and sanctify it; and it shall be an altar most holy: whatsoever toucheth the altar shall be holy.

38 ¶ Now this [is that] which thou shalt offer upon the altar; two lambs of the first year day by day continually.

39 The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; and the other lamb thou shalt offer at even:

40 And with the one lamb a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil; and the fourth part of an hin of wine [for] a drink offering.

41 And the other lamb thou shalt offer at even, and shalt do thereto according to the meat offering of the morning, and according to the drink offering thereof, for a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto the LORD.

42 [This shall be] a continual burnt offering throughout your generations [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD: where I will meet you, to speak there unto thee.

43 And there I will meet with the children of Israel, and [the tabernacle] shall be sanctified by my glory.

44 And I will sanctify the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar: I will sanctify also both Aaron and his sons, to minister to me in the priest's office.

45 And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God.

46 And they shall know that I [am] the LORD their God, that brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them: I [am] the LORD their God.

1 This also shalt thou do unto them, that they may be ordained priests unto me: Take a young bullock, and two rams without change,

2 Unleavened bread, and unleavened cakes mingled with oil, and unleavened cakes anointed with oil. Of wheat flour shalt thou make all these things;

3 And thou shalt put it in a basket, and bring it in the basket with the bullock and the two rams.

4 And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water;

5 And thou shalt take the garments, and put on Aaron the skirt, and the silk skirt, and the ephod, and the buckler for the ephod; and thou shalt gird him upon the ephod without.

6 And put the hat upon his head, and the holy crown upon his hat.

7 And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and pour it upon his head, and anoint him.

8 And thou shalt bring his sons also, and put on them the skirt;

9 And thou shalt gird both Aaron and them with girdles, and put on their bonnets, that they may have the priesthood for ever. And thou shalt fill Aaron's hands, and his sons' hands.

10 And they shall bring the bullock before the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands upon the bullock's head.

11 And thou shalt kill the bullock before the LORD, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

12 And thou shalt take his blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar with thy finger, and pour out all the blood upon the floor of the altar.

13 And thou shalt take all the fat that is upon the inwards, and the caul above the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and burn them upon the altar.

14 But the flesh of the bullock, and the hide thereof, and the dung thereof, shalt thou burn with fire without the camp: for it is a sin offering.

15 But the one ram shalt thou take, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands upon his head.

16 Then thou shalt slay him, and take of his blood, and sprinkle it upon the altar round about.

17 And thou shalt cut the ram in pieces, and wash his inwards, and his thighs; and shalt put them upon his pieces, and upon his head.

18 And burn the whole ram upon the altar: for it is a burnt offering unto the LORD, a sweet savour, a fire of the LORD.

19 And the other ram shalt thou take, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands upon his head.

20 And thou shalt slay him, and take of his blood, and put it upon the right earbud of Aaron, and upon the right earbud of his sons, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot; and thou shalt sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about.

21 And thou shalt take the blood upon the altar, and the anointing oil, and sprinkle it upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon their garments; and he and his garments, and his sons, and their garments, shall be consecrated.

22 And thou shalt take the fat of the ram, the tail, and the fat of the inwards, and the caul above the liver, and the two kidneys with the fat over them, and the right shoulder; for it is a ram of plenty.

23 And one loaf, and one cake of oil, and one cake of the basket of unleavened bread, which is before the LORD.

24 And put it all into the hands of Aaron and his sons, and weave it unto the LORD.

25 Afterward take it from their hands, and burn it upon the altar for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour before the LORD: for it is the fire of the LORD.

26 And thou shalt take the breast of the ram of Aaron's fullness, and shalt weave it before the LORD. This shall be thy portion.

27 And thou shalt sanctify the wave breast and the heave shoulder, which are woven and hewed of the ram of the fullness of Aaron, and of his sons.

28 And Aaron's offering, and his sons' offerings, shall be for ever of the children of Israel: for it is a heave offering. And the heave offerings shall be of the LORD from the children of Israel in their peace offerings and their heave sacrifices.

29 But the holy garments of Aaron shall be for his sons after him, to anoint them in them, and to fill their hands.

30 And whosoever of his sons shall become priests in his stead, he shall put them on seven days, and go into the tabernacle of the congregation to minister in the holy place.

31 And thou shalt take the ram of the stuffing, and boil the flesh thereof in a holy place.

32 And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the same ram, and the bread that is in the basket, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

33 For atonement is made therewith, to fill their hands, that they may be sanctified. No other shall eat it, for it is holy.

34 And if any of the flesh of the stuffing, or of the bread, remain unto the morning, thou shalt burn it with fire, and not eat it: for it is holy.

35 And thou shalt do therefore unto Aaron and unto his sons all that I have commanded thee. Seven days shalt thou fill their hands

36 And thou shalt kill a bullock daily for a sin offering, to make an atonement for him. And thou shalt sanctify the altar, when thou makest atonement for it; and thou shalt anoint it, that it may be consecrated.

37 Seven days shalt thou make an atonement for the altar, and consecrate it, that it may be an altar, the most holy. He that toucheth the altar shall be consecrated.

38 And this shalt thou do unto the altar. Two lambs of the first year shalt thou offer upon it every day,

39 One lamb in the morning, the other between evenings.

40 And to one lamb a tithe of fine flour, mingled with four parts of one hin of crushed oil, and four parts of one hin of wine for a drink offering.

41 And thou shalt do with the other lamb between the evenings, as thou didst with the meat offering and the drink offering of the morning, for a sweet savour, a fire unto the LORD.

42 This is the daily burnt offering unto your seed at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, before the LORD, where I will testify unto you, and speak unto you.

43 There will I be known unto the children of Israel, and will be sanctified in my glory.

44 And I will sanctify the tabernacle of the congregation with the altar, and consecrate Aaron and his sons to be priests unto me.

45 And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and be their God,

46 That they may know that I am the LORD their God, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them, I the LORD their God.
