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 defect, 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 clothe 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 clothe 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 Jehovah, 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 Jehovah; it is a
pleasant aroma, an offering made by fire to Jehovah.
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 around on the altar. 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 Jehovah. 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 Jehovah.
25 You shall take them from their hands, and burn them on the altar on the
burnt offering, for a pleasant aroma before Jehovah: it is an offering made by
fire to Jehovah.
26 “You shall take the breast of Aaron’s ram of
consecration, and wave it for a wave offering before Jehovah: and it shall be
your portion. 27 You shall sanctify the breast of the wave offering, and
the thigh of the wave 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 wave offering: and it shall be
a wave offering from the children of Israel of the sacrifices of their peace
offerings, even their wave offering to Jehovah.
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 “You shall do so to Aaron, and to his sons,
according to all that I have commanded you. You shall consecrate them seven
days. 36 Every day you shall 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 pleasant aroma, an offering made by fire to Jehovah. 42 It
shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of
the Tent of Meeting before Jehovah, 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 Jehovah their God, who
brought them out of the land of Egypt, that I might dwell among them: I am Jehovah
their God.
