Chapter 29
1
And this is the thing that you shall do to them to consecrate them to serve me as priests: take one bull, the son of cattle, and two unblemished rams.
2
and unleavened bread, and unleavened cakes mixed with anointing oil, and unleavened wafers smeared with anointing oil; you shall make them from fine flour of wheat.
3
And you shall put them in one basket and present them in the basket along with the bull and the two rams.
4
You shall bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the tent of meeting, and you shall wash them with water.
5
You shall take the garments and clothe Aaron with the tunics, the robe of the ephod, the ephod, and the breastpiece. You shall gird him with the skillfully woven band of the ephod.
6
You shall put the turban on his head, and you shall put the holy diadem on the turban.
7
And you shall take the anointing oil, pour it on his head, and anoint him.
8
And you shall bring his sons near and clothe them with tunics.
9
And you shall gird them with Aaron's sash and his sons' sash, and you shall bind headdresses on them. And it shall be to them a priesthood as a statute forever, and you shall fill the hand of Aaron and the hand of his sons.
10
You shall bring the bull near before the tent of meeting, and Aaron and his sons shall lean their hands on the head of the bull.
11
And you shall slaughter the bull before the LORD at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
12
And you shall take some of the bull's blood and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger, and you shall pour all the rest of the blood beside the base of the altar.
13
And you shall take all the fat that covers the entrails and the appendage on the liver and the two kidneys and the fat that is on them and the right thigh portions.
14
And the flesh of the bull and its hide and its dung you shall burn with fire outside the camp; it is a sin offering.
15
You shall take one ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram.
16
And you shall slaughter the ram and take its blood and throw it on the altar all around.
17
And you shall cut the ram into its pieces, and you shall wash its entrails and its legs, and you shall put them with its pieces and with its head.
18
You shall burn the entire ram on the altar: it is a burnt offering to the LORD, a soothing aroma, an offering by fire to the LORD.
19
And you shall take the second ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram.
20
And you shall slaughter the ram, take some of its blood, and put it on the lobe of Aaron's right ear and on the lobes of his sons' right ears and on the thumbs of their right hands and on the thumbs of their right feet. And you shall dash the blood on the altar all around.
21
And you shall take some of the blood that is on the altar and some of the anointing oil and sprinkle it on Aaron and on his garments, on his sons and on the garments of his sons with him, and consecrate him and his garments, his sons and the garments of his sons with him.
22
You shall take from the ram the fatness and the fat tail and the fat covering the entrails and the excess of the liver and the two kidneys and the fat that is on them and the right thigh, for it is a ram of fillings.
23
and one loaf of bread, one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer from the basket of unleavened bread that is before the LORD.
24
And you shall put them all on the palms of Aaron and on the palms of his sons, and you shall wave them as a wave offering before the LORD.
25
You shall take them from their hand and burn them on the altar on top of the burnt offering as a pleasing aroma before the LORD. It is a fire offering to the LORD.
26
And you shall take the breast from the ram of the ordinations which is for Aaron, and you shall wave it as a wave offering before the LORD, and it shall be for you as a portion.
27
And you shall consecrate the breast of the wave offering and the leg of the sacral offering, which was waved and which was raised from the ram of the consecrations, from that for Aaron and from that for his sons.
28
And it shall be for Aaron and for his sons as a statute forever from the sons of Israel, for it is an offering, and an offering it shall be from the sons of Israel from their peace offerings—their offering to the LORD.
29
And the holy garments of Aaron shall be for his sons after him, for anointing them and for filling their hand in them.
30
For seven days the priest shall wear them in his place from his sons who come to the tent of meeting to serve in the holy place.
31
And you shall take the ram of the consecrations and boil its flesh in the holy place.
32
Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram and the bread that is in the basket at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
33
And they shall eat them, that with which atonement was made, to fill their hand, to sanctify them; and a stranger shall not eat them, for they are holy.
34
And if any of the flesh of the ordination offerings or of the bread remains until the morning, then you shall burn the remainder with fire. It shall not be eaten, for it is holy.
35
You shall do thus to Aaron and to his sons, according to all that I have commanded you. Seven days you shall fill their hand.
36
And you shall offer a bull as a sin offering every day upon the altar for the atonements. You shall offer a sin offering upon the altar when you make atonement for it, and you shall anoint it to consecrate it.
37
Seven days you shall make atonement over the altar and sanctify it, and the altar shall be most holy; everyone who touches the altar shall be holy.
38
And this is what you shall do to the altar: two lambs, a year old, every day continually.
39
The lamb that you shall make in the morning, and the second lamb you shall make between the evenings.
40
And a tenth of fine flour mixed with olive oil, a quarter of a hin, and pour a fourth part of a hin of wine for the one sacrificial animal.
41
And you shall make the second lamb between the evenings like the morning grain offering and its drink offering. You shall make it as a soothing aroma, a fire offering to the LORD.
42
A continual burnt offering for your generations at the entrance of the tent of meeting before the LORD, which I will appoint for you there, to speak to you there.
43
And I will meet with the sons of Israel there, and I will be hallowed in my glory.
44
I will consecrate the tent of meeting and the altar, and I will consecrate Aaron and his sons to be priests for me.
45
And I will dwell in the midst of the sons of Israel, and I will be their God.
46
They will know that I am the LORD their God, who brought them out from the land of Egypt to dwell in their midst. I am the LORD their God.
