29
1 And these are the things which thou shalt do to them: thou shalt sanctify them, so that they shall serve me in the priesthood; and thou shalt take one young calf from the herd, and two unblemished rams; 2 and unleavened loaves kneaded with oil, and unleavened cakes anointed with oil: thou shalt make them of fine flour of wheat. 3 And thou shalt put them on one basket, and thou shalt offer them on the basket, and the young calf and the two rams. 4 And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons to the doors of the tabernacle of testimony, and thou shalt wash them with water. 5 And having taken the garments, thou shalt put on Aaron thy brother both the full-length robe and the ephod and the oracle; and thou shalt join for him the oracle to the ephod. 6 And thou shalt put the miter on his head; and thou shalt put the plate, even the Holiness, on the miter. 7 And thou shalt take of the anointing oil, and thou shalt pour it on his head, and shalt anoint him, 8 and thou shalt bring his sons, and put garments on them. 9 And thou shalt gird them with the girdles, and put the tires upon them, and they shall have a priestly office to me forever; and thou shalt fill the hands of Aaron and the hands of his sons. 10 And thou shalt bring the calf to the door of the tabernacle of witness; and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the calf, before the Lord, by the doors of the tabernacle of witness. 11 And thou shalt slay the calf before the Lord, by the doors of the tabernacle of witness. 12 And thou shalt take of the blood of the calf, and put it on the horns of the altar with thy finger, but all the rest of the blood thou shalt pour out at the foot of the altar. 13 And thou shalt take all the fat that is on the belly, and the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and shalt put them upon the altar. 14 But the flesh of the calf, and his skin, and his dung, shalt thou burn with fire without the camp; for it is an offering on account of sin.
15 And thou shalt take one ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram. 16 And thou shalt kill it, and take the blood and pour it on the altar round about. 17 And thou shalt divide the ram by his several limbs, and thou shalt wash the inward parts and the feet with water, and thou shalt put them on the divided parts with the head. 18 And thou shalt offer the whole ram on the altar, a whole burnt offering to the Lord for a sweet-smelling savor: it is an offering of incense to the Lord. 19 And thou shalt take the second ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram. 20 And thou shalt kill it, and take of the blood of it, and put it on the tip of Aaron’s right ear, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot, and on the tips of the right ears of his sons, and on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the great toes of their right feet. 21 And thou shalt take of the blood from the altar, and of the anointing oil; and thou shalt sprinkle it upon Aaron and on his garments, and on his sons and on his sons’ garments with him; and he shall be sanctified and his apparel, and his sons and his sons’ apparel with him: but the blood of the ram thou shalt pour round about upon the altar. 22 And thou shalt take from the ram its fat, both the fat that covers the belly, and the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and the right shoulder, for this is a consecration. 23 And one cake made with oil, and one cake from the basket of unleavened bread set forth before the Lord. 24 And thou shalt put them all on the hands of Aaron, and on the hands of his sons, and thou shalt separate them as a separate offering before the Lord. 25 And thou shalt take them from their hands, and shalt offer them up on the altar of whole burnt offering for a sweet-smelling savor before the Lord: it is an offering to the Lord. 26 And thou shalt take the breast from the ram of consecration which is Aaron’s, and thou shalt separate it as a separate offering before the Lord, and it shall be to thee for a portion. 27 And thou shalt sanctify the separated breast and the shoulder of removal which has been separated, and which has been removed from the ram of consecration, of the portion of Aaron and of that of his sons. 28 And it shall be a perpetual statute of the children of Israel to Aaron and his sons, for this is a separate offering; and it shall be a special offering from the children of Israel, from the peace offerings of the children of Israel, a special offering to the Lord.
29 And the apparel of the sanctuary which is Aaron’s shall be his sons’ after him, for them to be anointed in them, and to fill their hands. 30 The priest his successor from among his sons who shall go into the tabernacle of witness to minister in the holies, shall put them on seven days. 31 And thou shalt take the ram of consecration, and thou shalt boil the flesh in the holy place. 32 And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the loaves in the basket, by the doors of the tabernacle of witness. 33 They shall eat the offerings with which they were sanctified to fill their hands, to sanctify them; and a stranger shall not eat of them, for they are holy. 34 And if aught be left of the flesh of the sacrifice of consecration and of the loaves until the morning, thou shalt burn the remainder with fire: it shall not be eaten, for it is a holy thing.
35 And thus shalt thou do for Aaron and for his sons according to all things that I have commanded thee; seven days shalt thou fill their hands. 36 And thou shalt sacrifice the calf of the sin offering on the day of purification, and thou shalt purify the altar when thou dost perform consecration upon it, and thou shalt anoint it so as to sanctify it. 37 Seven days shalt thou purify the altar and sanctify it; and the altar shall be most holy, everyone that touches the altar shall be hallowed. 38 And these are the offerings which thou shalt offer upon the altar; two unblemished lambs of a year old daily on the altar continually, a constant offering.
39 One lamb thou shalt offer in the morning, and the second lamb thou shalt offer in the evening. 40 And a tenth measure of fine flour mingled with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil, and a drink offering the fourth part of a hin of wine for one lamb. 41 And thou shalt offer the second lamb in the evening, after the manner of the morning offering, and according to the drink offering of the morning lamb; thou shalt offer it an offering to the Lord for a sweet-smelling savor, 42 a perpetual sacrifice throughout your generations, at the door of the tabernacle of witness before the Lord; wherein I will be known to thee from thence, so as to speak to thee. 43 And I will there give orders to the children of Israel, and I will be sanctified in my glory. 44 And I will sanctify the tabernacle of testimony and the altar, and I will sanctify Aaron and his sons, to minister as priests to me. 45 And I will be called upon among the children of Israel, and will be their God. 46 And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, who brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, to be called upon by them, and to be their God.
