Exodus 29

¹Now this is what you shall do to them to consecrate them for serving me as priests: take one young bull and two rams without blemish,

²And unleavened bread, and unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil — of fine wheat flour you shall make them.

³and put them in one basket and bring them in the basket, along with the bull and the two rams.

⁴And Aaron and his sons you shall bring to the entrance of the tent of meeting, and you shall wash them with water.

⁵And you shall take the garments and clothe Aaron with the tunic and the robe of the ephod and the ephod and the breastpiece, and gird him with the woven band of the ephod.

⁶And you shall set the turban on his head and put the holy diadem on the turban.

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

⁸And you shall bring his sons and clothe them with tunics

⁹And you shall gird them with sashes, Aaron and his sons, and bind caps on them; and the priesthood shall be theirs by a perpetual statute. And you shall consecrate Aaron and his sons.

¹⁰Then you shall bring the bull before the tent of meeting. Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the bull,

¹¹And you shall slaughter the bull before Yahweh, at the entrance of the tent of meeting.

¹²And you shall take some of the blood of the bull and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger, and all the rest of the blood you shall pour out at the base of the altar.

¹³and take all the fat that covers the entrails, and the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them, and burn them on the altar.

¹⁴But the flesh of the bull, and its skin, and its dung, you shall burn with fire outside the camp; it is a sin offering.

¹⁵And the one ram you shall take, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands upon the head of the ram.

¹⁶And you shall slaughter the ram, and you shall take its blood and dash it against the altar all around.

¹⁷And the ram you shall cut into its pieces, and you shall wash its entrails and its legs, and place them upon its pieces and upon its head.

¹⁸And you shall burn the whole ram on the altar; it is a burnt offering to Yahweh, a soothing aroma, a food offering to Yahweh it is.

¹⁹And you shall take the second ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram.

²⁰Then slaughter the ram, and take some of its blood and put it on the lobe of Aaron's right ear and on the lobe 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 dash the blood against the altar all around.

²¹And you shall take some of the blood that is on the altar and some of the anointing oil and sprinkle it on Aaron and his garments and on his sons and on his sons' garments with him; and he shall be holy, and his garments and his sons and his sons' garments with him.

²²And from the ram you shall take the fat and the fat tail and the fat that covers the entrails and the lobe of the liver and the two kidneys and the fat that is on them and the right thigh — for it is a ram of ordination —

²³And one loaf of bread, and one cake of oil bread, and one flatbread from the basket of unleavened bread that is before Yahweh.

²⁴And you shall place all of it upon the palms of Aaron and upon the palms of his sons, and wave them as a wave offering before Yahweh.

²⁵And you shall take them from their hands and burn them on the altar upon the burnt offering, as a soothing aroma before Yahweh; it is a food offering to Yahweh.

²⁶And you shall take the breast from the ram of ordination that belongs to Aaron, and wave it as a wave offering before Yahweh, and it shall be your portion.

²⁷And you shall consecrate the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution offering, which was waved and which was lifted from the ram of ordination — from what belonged to Aaron and from what belonged to his sons.

²⁸It shall belong to Aaron and his sons as a perpetual due from the sons of Israel, for it is a contribution; and it shall be a contribution from the sons of Israel from their peace-offering sacrifices, their contribution to the LORD.

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

³⁰Seven days shall the priest who is in his place among his sons wear them, the one who comes into the tent of meeting to minister in the holy place.

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

³²And 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.

³³And they shall eat those things by which atonement was made, to fill their hands and to consecrate them; but an outsider shall not eat, for they are holy.

³⁴And if any of the flesh of the ordination offering or of the bread should remain until morning, you shall burn the remainder with fire; it shall not be eaten, for it is holy.

³⁵Thus you shall do to Aaron and to his sons, according to all that I have commanded you; seven days you shall ordain them.

³⁶And a bull as a sin offering you shall offer each day for atonement, and you shall purify the altar by making atonement for it, and you shall anoint it to consecrate it.

³⁷Seven days you shall make atonement for the altar and consecrate it, and the altar shall be most holy; whatever touches the altar shall become holy.

³⁸Now this is what you shall offer upon the altar: two lambs a year old, daily, continually.

³⁹The one lamb you shall offer in the morning, and the second lamb you shall offer between the evenings.

⁴⁰And a tenth of fine flour mixed with a fourth of a hin of beaten oil, and a drink offering of a fourth of a hin of wine, for the one lamb.

⁴¹The second lamb you shall offer between the evenings; like the grain offering of the morning and like its drink offering you shall offer it, as a soothing aroma, a food offering to the LORD.

⁴²It is a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the entrance of the tent of meeting before the LORD, where I will meet with you all there, to speak to you there.

⁴³I will meet there with the sons of Israel, and it shall be consecrated by my glory.

⁴⁴I will consecrate the tent of meeting and the altar, and Aaron and his sons I will consecrate to minister to me.

⁴⁵And I will dwell in the midst of the sons of Israel, and I will be their God.

⁴⁶And they shall know that I am Yahweh their God, who brought them out from the land of Egypt that I might dwell in their midst — I am Yahweh their God.
