| |
| | Exd 29:1 | "This is what you are to do to consecrate them, so they may serve me as priests: Take a young bull and two rams without defect.
| |
| | Exd 29:2 | And from fine wheat flour, without yeast, make bread, and cakes mixed with oil, and wafers spread with oil.
| |
| | Exd 29:3 | Put them in a basket and present them in it--along with the bull and the two rams.
| |
| | Exd 29:4 | Then bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and wash them with water.
| |
| | Exd 29:5 | Take the garments and dress Aaron with the tunic, the robe of the ephod, the ephod itself and the breastpiece. Fasten the ephod on him by its skillfully woven waistband.
| |
| | Exd 29:6 | Put the turban on his head and attach the sacred diadem to the turban.
| |
| | Exd 29:7 | Take the anointing oil and anoint him by pouring it on his head.
| |
| | Exd 29:8 | Bring his sons and dress them in tunics
| |
| | Exd 29:9 | and put headbands on them. Then tie sashes on Aaron and his sons. The priesthood is theirs by a lasting ordinance. In this way you shall ordain Aaron and his sons.
| |
| | Exd 29:10 | "Bring the bull to the front of the Tent of Meeting, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on its head.
| |
| | Exd 29:11 | Slaughter it in the LORD's presence at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
| |
| | Exd 29:12 | Take some of the bull's blood and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger, and pour out the rest of it at the base of the altar.
| |
| | Exd 29:13 | Then take all the fat around the inner parts, the covering of the liver, and both kidneys with the fat on them, and burn them on the altar.
| |
| | Exd 29:14 | But burn the bull's flesh and its hide and its offal outside the camp. It is a sin offering.
| |
| | Exd 29:15 | "Take one of the rams, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on its head.
| |
| | Exd 29:16 | Slaughter it and take the blood and sprinkle it against the altar on all sides.
| |
| | Exd 29:17 | Cut the ram into pieces and wash the inner parts and the legs, putting them with the head and the other pieces.
| |
| | Exd 29:18 | Then burn the entire ram on the altar. It is a burnt offering to the LORD, a pleasing aroma, an offering made to the LORD by fire.
| |
| | Exd 29:19 | "Take the other ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on its head.
| |
| | Exd 29:20 | Slaughter it, take some of its blood and put it on the lobes of the right ears of Aaron and his sons, on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet. Then sprinkle blood against the altar on all sides.
| |
| | Exd 29:21 | And take some of the blood on the altar and some of the anointing oil and sprinkle it on Aaron and his garments and on his sons and their garments. Then he and his sons and their garments will be consecrated.
| |
| | Exd 29:22 | "Take from this ram the fat, the fat tail, the fat around the inner parts, the covering of the liver, both kidneys with the fat on them, and the right thigh. (This is the ram for the ordination.)
| |
| | Exd 29:23 | From the basket of bread made without yeast, which is before the LORD, take a loaf, and a cake made with oil, and a wafer.
| |
| | Exd 29:24 | Put all these in the hands of Aaron and his sons and wave them before the LORD as a wave offering.
| |
| | Exd 29:25 | Then take them from their hands and burn them on the altar along with the burnt offering for a pleasing aroma to the LORD, an offering made to the LORD by fire.
| |
| | Exd 29:26 | After you take the breast of the ram for Aaron's ordination, wave it before the LORD as a wave offering, and it will be your share.
| |
| | Exd 29:27 | "Consecrate those parts of the ordination ram that belong to Aaron and his sons: the breast that was waved and the thigh that was presented.
| |
| | Exd 29:28 | This is always to be the regular share from the Israelites for Aaron and his sons. It is the contribution the Israelites are to make to the LORD from their fellowship offerings.
| |
| | Exd 29:29 | "Aaron's sacred garments will belong to his descendants so that they can be anointed and ordained in them.
| |
| | Exd 29:30 | The son who succeeds him as priest and comes to the Tent of Meeting to minister in the Holy Place is to wear them seven days.
| |
| | Exd 29:31 | "Take the ram for the ordination and cook the meat in a sacred place.
| |
| | Exd 29:32 | At the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, Aaron and his sons are to eat the meat of the ram and the bread that is in the basket.
| |
| | Exd 29:33 | They are to eat these offerings by which atonement was made for their ordination and consecration. But no one else may eat them, because they are sacred.
| |
| | Exd 29:34 | And if any of the meat of the ordination ram or any bread is left over till morning, burn it up. It must not be eaten, because it is sacred.
| |
| | Exd 29:35 | "Do for Aaron and his sons everything I have commanded you, taking seven days to ordain them.
| |
| | Exd 29:36 | Sacrifice a bull each day as a sin offering to make atonement. Purify the altar by making atonement for it, and anoint it to consecrate it.
| |
| | Exd 29:37 | For seven days make atonement for the altar and consecrate it. Then the altar will be most holy, and whatever touches it will be holy.
| |
| | Exd 29:38 | "This is what you are to offer on the altar regularly each day: two lambs a year old.
| |
| | Exd 29:39 | Offer one in the morning and the other at twilight.
| |
| | Exd 29:40 | With the first lamb offer a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with a quarter of a hin of oil from pressed olives, and a quarter of a hin of wine as a drink offering.
| |
| | Exd 29:41 | Sacrifice the other lamb at twilight with the same grain offering and its drink offering as in the morning--a pleasing aroma, an offering made to the LORD by fire.
| |
| | Exd 29:42 | "For the generations to come this burnt offering is to be made regularly at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting before the LORD. There I will meet you and speak to you;
| |
| | Exd 29:43 | there also I will meet with the Israelites, and the place will be consecrated by my glory.
| |
| | Exd 29:44 | "So I will consecrate the Tent of Meeting and the altar and will consecrate Aaron and his sons to serve me as priests.
| |
| | Exd 29:45 | Then I will dwell among the Israelites and be their God.
| |
| | Exd 29:46 | They will know that I am the LORD their God, who brought them out of Egypt so that I might dwell among them. I am the LORD their God.
