[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 blemish, [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 coat, the robe of the
ephod, the ephod, and the breastplate, and dress him with the skillfully
woven band of the ephod; [6] and 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 coats on them. [9] You shall dress them with belts, Aaron and his
sons, and bind headbands on them: and they shall have the priesthood by a
perpetual statute: and 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 Yahweh, 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 flesh 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 Yahweh; it is a sweet savor, an offering made by fire to
Yahweh. [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 on the altar round about. [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 Yahweh. [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 Yahweh. [25] You shall take them from their
hands, and burn them on the altar on the burnt offering, for a sweet savor
before Yahweh: it is an offering made by fire to Yahweh. [26] "You shall
take the breast of Aaron`s ram of consecration, and wave it for a
wave-offering before Yahweh: and it shall be your portion. [27] You shall
sanctify the breast of the wave-offering, and the thigh of the
heave-offering, which is waved, and which is heaved up, of the ram of
consecration, even of that which is for Aaron, and of that which is for his
sons: [28] and it shall be for Aaron and his sons as their portion forever
from the children of Israel; for it is a heave-offering: and it shall be a
heave-offering from the children of Israel of the sacrifices of their
peace-offerings, even their heave-offering to Yahweh. [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 flesh in a holy place. [32] Aaron and his sons shall eat the
flesh 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 flesh 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] "Thus shall you
do to Aaron, and to his sons, according to all that I have commanded you.
Seven days shall you consecrate them. [36] Every day shall you offer the
bull of sin-offering for atonement: and you shall cleanse the altar, when
you make atonement for it; and 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 sweet savor, an offering made by fire to Yahweh. [42] It shall be a
continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the
tent of meeting before Yahweh, 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: Aaron also and his sons I will sanctify, 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 Yahweh their God, who
brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I might dwell among them:
I am Yahweh their God.
