Exodus 29

1 “Now this is what you are to do to consecrate Aaron and his sons to serve Me as priests: Take a young bull and two rams without blemish,

'And this [is] the thing which thou dost to them, to hallow them, for being priests to Me: Take one bullock, a son of the herd, and two rams, perfect ones,

2 along with unleavened bread, unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil. Make them out of fine wheat flour,

and bread unleavened, and cakes unleavened anointed with oil, of fine wheaten flour thou dost make them,

3 put them in a basket, and present them in the basket, along with the bull and the two rams.

and thou hast put them on one basket, and hast brought them near in the basket, also the bullock and the two rams.

4 Then present Aaron and his sons at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and wash them with water.

'And Aaron and his sons thou dost bring near unto the opening of the tent of meeting, and hast bathed them with water;

5 Take the garments and clothe Aaron with the tunic, the robe of the ephod, the ephod itself, and the breastplate. Fasten the ephod on him with its woven waistband.

and thou hast taken the garments, and hast clothed Aaron with the coat, and the upper robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate, and hast girded him with the girdle of the ephod,

6 Put the turban on his head and attach the holy diadem to the turban.

and hast set the mitre on his head, and hast put the holy crown on the mitre,

7 Then take the anointing oil and anoint him by pouring it on his head.

and hast taken the anointing oil, and hast poured [it] on his head, and hast anointed him.

8 Present his sons as well and clothe them with tunics.

'And his sons thou dost bring near, and hast clothed them [with] coats,

9 Wrap the sashes around Aaron and his sons and tie headbands on them. The priesthood shall be theirs by a permanent statute. In this way you are to ordain Aaron and his sons.

and hast girded them [with] a girdle (Aaron and his sons), and hast bound on them bonnets; and the priesthood hath been theirs by a statute age-during, and thou hast consecrated the hand of Aaron, and the hand of his sons,

10 You are to present the bull at the front of the Tent of Meeting, and Aaron and his sons are to lay their hands on its head.

and hast brought near the bullock before the tent of meeting, and Aaron hath laid — his sons also — their hands on the head of the bullock.

11 And you shall slaughter the bull before the LORD at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

'And thou hast slaughtered the bullock before Jehovah, at the opening of the tent of meeting,

12 Take some of the blood of the bull and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger; then pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

and hast taken of the blood of the bullock, and hast put [it] on the horns of the altar with thy finger, and all the blood thou dost pour out at the foundation of the altar;

13 Take all the fat that covers the entrails and the lobe of the liver, and both kidneys with the fat on them, and burn them on the altar.

and thou hast taken all the fat which is covering the inwards, and the redundance on the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat which [is] on them, and hast made perfume on the altar;

14 But burn the flesh of the bull and its hide and dung outside the camp; it is a sin offering.

and the flesh of the bullock, and his skin, and his dung, thou dost burn with fire at the outside of the camp; it [is] a sin-offering.

15 Take one of the rams, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on its head.

'And the one ram thou dost take, and Aaron and his sons have laid their hands on the head of the ram,

16 You are to slaughter the ram, take its blood, and sprinkle it on all sides of the altar.

and thou hast slaughtered the ram, and hast taken its blood, and hast sprinkled [it] on the altar round about,

17 Cut the ram into pieces, wash the entrails and legs, and place them with its head and other pieces.

and the ram thou dost cut into its pieces, and hast washed its inwards, and its legs, and hast put [them] on its pieces, and on its head;

18 Then burn the entire ram on the altar; it is a burnt offering to the LORD, a pleasing aroma, an offering made by fire to the LORD.

and thou hast made perfume with the whole ram on the altar. It [is] a burnt-offering to Jehovah, a sweet fragrance; a fire-offering it [is] to Jehovah.

19 Take the second ram, and Aaron and his sons are to lay their hands on its head.

'And thou hast taken the second ram, and Aaron hath laid — his sons also — their hands on the head of the ram,

20 Slaughter the ram, take some of its blood, and put it on the right earlobes of Aaron and his sons, on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet. Sprinkle the remaining blood on all sides of the altar.

and thou hast slaughtered the ram, and hast taken of its blood, and hast put 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 great toe of their right foot, and hast sprinkled the blood on the altar round about;

21 And take some of the blood on the altar and some of the anointing oil and sprinkle it on Aaron and his garments, as well as on his sons and their garments. Then he and his garments will be consecrated, as well as his sons and their garments.

and thou hast taken of the blood which [is] on the altar, and of the anointing oil, and hast sprinkled on Aaron, and on his garments, and on his sons, and on the garments of his sons with him, and he hath been hallowed, he, and his garments, and his sons, and the garments of his sons with him.

22 Take the fat from the ram, the fat tail, the fat covering the entrails, the lobe of the liver, both kidneys with the fat on them, and the right thigh (since this is a ram for ordination),

'And thou hast taken from the ram the fat, and the fat tail, and the fat which is covering the inwards, and the redundance on the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat which [is] on them, and the right leg, for it [is] a ram of consecration,

23 along with one loaf of bread, one cake of bread made with oil, and one wafer from the basket of unleavened bread that is before the LORD.

and one round cake of bread, and one cake of oiled bread, and one thin cake out of the basket of the unleavened things which [is] before Jehovah.

24 Put all these in the hands of Aaron and his sons and wave them before the LORD as a wave offering.

'And thou hast set the whole on the hands of Aaron, and on the hands of his sons, and hast waved them — a wave-offering before Jehovah;

25 Then take them from their hands and burn them on the altar atop the burnt offering as a pleasing aroma before the LORD; it is an offering made by fire to the LORD.

and thou hast taken them out of their hand, and hast made perfume on the altar beside the burnt-offering, for sweet fragrance before Jehovah; a fire-offering it [is] to Jehovah.

26 Take the breast of the ram of Aaron’s ordination and wave it before the LORD as a wave offering, and it will be your portion.

'And thou hast taken the breast from the ram of the consecration which [is] for Aaron, and hast waved it — a wave-offering before Jehovah, and it hath become thy portion;

27 Consecrate for Aaron and his sons the breast of the wave offering that is waved and the thigh of the heave offering that is lifted up from the ram of ordination.

and thou hast sanctified the breast of the wave-offering, and the leg of the heave-offering, which hath been waved, and which hath been lifted up from the ram of the consecration, of that which [is] for Aaron, and of that which [is] for his sons;

28 This will belong to Aaron and his sons as a regular portion from the Israelites, for it is the heave offering the Israelites will make to the LORD from their peace offerings.

and it hath been for Aaron and for his sons, by a statute age-during from the sons of Israel, for it [is] a heave-offering; and it is a heave offering from the sons of Israel, from the sacrifices of their peace-offerings — their heave-offering to Jehovah.

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

'And the holy garments which are Aaron's, are for his sons after him, to be anointed in them, and to consecrate in them their hand;

30 The son who succeeds him as priest and enters the Tent of Meeting to minister in the Holy Place must wear them for seven days.

seven days doth the priest in his stead (of his sons) put them on, when he goeth in unto the tent of meeting, to minister in the sanctuary.

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

'And the ram of the consecration thou dost take, and hast boiled its flesh in the holy place;

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.

and Aaron hath eaten — his sons also — the flesh of the ram, and the bread which [is] in the basket, at the opening of the tent of meeting;

33 They must eat those things by which atonement was made for their ordination and consecration. But no outsider may eat them, because these things are sacred.

and they have eaten those things by which there is atonement to consecrate their hand, to sanctify them; and a stranger doth not eat — for they [are] holy;

34 And if any of the meat of ordination or any bread is left until the morning, you are to burn up the remainder. It must not be eaten, because it is sacred.

and if there be left of the flesh of the consecration or of the bread till the morning, then thou hast burned that which is left with fire; it is not eaten, for it [is] holy.

35 This is what you are to do for Aaron and his sons based on all that I have commanded you, taking seven days to ordain them.

'And thou hast done thus to Aaron and to his sons, according to all that I have commanded thee; seven days thou dost consecrate their hand;

36 Sacrifice a bull as a sin offering each day for atonement. Purify the altar by making atonement for it, and anoint it to consecrate it.

and a bullock, a sin-offering, thou dost prepare daily for the atonements, and thou hast atoned for the altar, in thy making atonement on it, and hast anointed it to sanctify it;

37 For seven days you shall make atonement for the altar and consecrate it. Then the altar will become most holy; whatever touches the altar will be holy.

seven days thou dost make atonement for the altar, and hast sanctified it, and the altar hath been most holy; all that is coming against the altar is holy.

38 This is what you are to offer regularly on the altar, each day: two lambs that are a year old.

'And this [is] that which thou dost prepare on the altar; two lambs, sons of a year, daily continually;

39 Offer one lamb in the morning and the other at twilight.

the one lamb thou dost prepare in the morning, and the second lamb thou dost prepare between the evenings;

40 With the first lamb offer a tenth of an ephah of fine flour, mixed with a quarter hin of oil from pressed olives, and a drink offering of a quarter hin of wine.

and a tenth [deal] of fine flour, mixed with beaten oil, a fourth part of a hin, and a libation, a fourth part of a hin, of wine, [is] for the one lamb.

41 And offer the second lamb at twilight with the same grain offering and drink offering as in the morning, as a pleasing aroma, an offering made by fire to the LORD.

'And the second lamb thou dost prepare between the evenings; according to the present of the morning, and according to its libation, thou dost prepare for it, for sweet fragrance, a fire-offering, to Jehovah: —

42 For the generations to come, this burnt offering shall be made regularly at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting before the LORD, where I will meet you to speak with you.

a continual burnt-offering for your generations, at the opening of the tent of meeting, before Jehovah, whither I am met with you, to speak unto thee there,

43 I will also meet with the Israelites there, and that place will be consecrated by My glory.

and I have met there with the sons of Israel, and it hath been sanctified by My honour.

44 So I will consecrate the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and I will consecrate Aaron and his sons to serve Me as priests.

'And I have sanctified the tent of meeting, and the altar, and Aaron and his sons I sanctify for being priests to Me,

45 Then I will dwell among the Israelites and be their God.

and I have tabernacled in the midst of the sons of Israel, and have become their God,

46 And they will know that I am the LORD their God, who brought them out of the land of Egypt so that I might dwell among them. I am the LORD their God.

and they have known that I [am] Jehovah their God, who hath brought them out of the land of Egypt, that I may tabernacle in their midst; I [am] Jehovah their God.
