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.
