< Exodus 29 >

1 “And this [is] the thing which you do to them, to hallow them, for being priests to Me: take one bullock, a son of the herd, and two rams, perfect ones,
And these are the things which you shall do to them: you shall sanctify them, so that they shall serve me in the priesthood; and you shall take one young calf from the herd, and two unblemished rams;
2 and unleavened bread, and unleavened cakes anointed with oil; you make them of fine wheat flour,
and unleavened loaves kneaded with oil, and unleavened cakes anointed with oil: you shall make them [of] fine flour of wheat.
3 and you have put them on one basket, and have brought them near in the basket, also the bullock and the two rams.
And you shall put them on one basket, and you shall offer them on the basket, and the young calf and the two rams.
4 And you bring Aaron and his sons near to the opening of the Tent of Meeting, and have bathed them with water;
And you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the doors of the tabernacle of testimony, and you shall wash them with water.
5 and you have taken the garments, and have clothed Aaron with the coat, and the upper robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate, and have girded him with the girdle of the ephod,
And having taken the garments, you shall put on Aaron your brother both the full-length robe and the ephod and the oracle; and you shall join for him the oracle to the ephod.
6 and have set the turban on his head, and have put the holy crown on the turban,
And you shall put the mitre on his head; and you shall put the plate, [even] the Holiness, on the mitre.
7 and have taken the anointing oil, and have poured [it] on his head, and have anointed him.
And you shall take of the anointing oil, and you shall pour it on his head, and shall anoint him,
8 And you bring his sons near, and have clothed them [with] coats,
and you shall bring his sons, and put garments on them.
9 and have girded them [with] a girdle (Aaron and his sons), and have bound caps on them; and the priesthood has been theirs by a continuous statute, and you have consecrated the hand of Aaron, and the hand of his sons,
And you shall gird them with the girdles, and put the tires upon them, and they shall have a priestly office to me for ever; and you shall fill the hands of Aaron and the hands of his sons.
10 and have brought the bullock near before the Tent of Meeting, and Aaron has laid—his sons also—their hands on the head of the bullock.
And you shall 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 you have slaughtered the bullock before YHWH, at the opening of the Tent of Meeting,
And you shall kill the calf before the Lord, by the doors of the tabernacle of witness.
12 and have taken of the blood of the bullock, and have put [it] on the horns of the altar with your finger, and you pour out all the blood at the foundation of the altar;
And you shall take of the blood of the calf, and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger, but all the rest of the blood you shall pour out at the foot of the altar.
13 and you have taken all the fat which is covering the innards, and the redundance on the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat which [is] on them, and have made incense on the altar;
And you shall 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 shall put them upon the altar.
14 and the flesh of the bullock, and his skin, and his dung, you burn with fire at the outside of the camp; it [is] a sin-offering.
But the flesh of the calf, and his skin, and his dung, shall you burn with fire without the camp; for it is an [offering on account] of sin.
15 And you take the first ram, and Aaron and his sons have laid their hands on the head of the ram,
And you shall take one ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram.
16 and you have slaughtered the ram, and have taken its blood, and have sprinkled [it] around the altar,
And you shall kill it, and take the blood and pour it on the altar round about.
17 and you cut the ram into its pieces, and have washed its innards, and its legs, and have put [them] on its pieces, and on its head;
And you shall divide the ram by his several limbs, and you shall wash the inward parts and the feet with water, and you shall put them on the divided parts with the head.
18 and you have made incense with the whole ram on the altar. It [is] a burnt-offering to YHWH, a refreshing fragrance; it [is] a fire-offering to YHWH.
And you shall 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 you have taken the second ram, and Aaron has laid—his sons also—their hands on the head of the ram,
And you shall take the second ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram.
20 and you have slaughtered the ram, and have taken of its blood, and have 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 great toe of their right foot, and have sprinkled the blood around the altar;
And you shall 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 you have taken of the blood which [is] on the altar, and of the anointing oil, and have sprinkled [it] on Aaron, and on his garments, and on his sons, and on the garments of his sons with him, and he has been hallowed, he and his garments, and his sons, and the garments of his sons with him.
And you shall take of the blood from the altar, and of the anointing oil; and you shall 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 you shall pour round about upon the altar.
22 And you have taken from the ram the fat, and the fat tail, and the fat which is covering the innards, 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,
And you shall 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 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 YHWH;
And one cake [made] with oil, and one cake from the basket of unleavened bread set forth before the Lord.
24 and you have set the whole on the hands of Aaron, and on the hands of his sons, and have waved them [for] a wave-offering before YHWH;
And you shall put them all on the hands of Aaron, and on the hands of his sons, and you shall separate them as a separate offering before the Lord.
25 and you have taken them out of their hand, and have made incense on the altar beside the burnt-offering, for refreshing fragrance before YHWH; it [is] a fire-offering to YHWH.
And you shall take them from their hands, and shall 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 you have taken the breast from the ram of the consecration which [is] for Aaron, and have waved it [for] a wave-offering before YHWH, and it has become your portion;
And you shall take the breast from the ram of consecration which is Aaron's, and you shall separate it as a separate offering before the Lord, and it shall be to you for a portion.
27 and you have sanctified the breast of the wave-offering, and the leg of the raised-offering, which has been waved, and which has been lifted up from the ram of the consecration, of that which [is] for Aaron, and of that which [is] for his sons;
And you shall 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 has been for Aaron and for his sons, by a continuous statute from the sons of Israel, for it [is] a raised-offering; and it is a raised-offering from the sons of Israel, from the sacrifices of their peace-offerings—their raised-offering to YHWH.
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 holy garments which are Aaron’s are for his sons after him, to be anointed in them and to consecrate their hand in them;
And the apparel of the sanctuary which is Aaron's shall be his son's after him, for them to be anointed in them, and to fill their hands.
30 [for] seven days the priest in his stead (of his sons) puts them on when he goes into the Tent of Meeting to minister in the holy place.
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 you take the ram of the consecration and have boiled its flesh in the holy place;
And you shall take the ram of consecration, and you shall boil the flesh in the holy place.
32 and Aaron has 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;
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 and they have eaten those things by which there is atonement to consecrate their hand, to sanctify them; and a stranger does not eat [them], for they [are] holy;
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 there is left of the flesh of the consecration or of the bread until the morning, then you have burned that which is left with fire; it is not eaten, for it [is] holy.
And if [anything] be left of the flesh of the sacrifice of consecration and of the loaves until the morning, you shall burn the remainder with fire: it shall not be eaten, for it is a holy thing.
35 And you have done thus to Aaron and to his sons, according to all that I have commanded you; [for] seven days you consecrate their hand;
And thus shall you do for Aaron and for his sons according to all things that I have commanded you; seven days shall you fill their hands.
36 and a bullock, a sin-offering, you prepare daily for the atonements, and you have atoned for the altar in your making atonement on it, and have anointed it to sanctify it;
And you shall sacrifice the calf of the sin-offering on the day of purification, and you shall purify the altar when you do perform consecration upon it, and you shall anoint it so as to sanctify it.
37 [for] seven days you make atonement for the altar, and have sanctified it, and the altar has been most holy; all that is coming against the altar is holy.
Seven days shall you purify the altar and sanctify it; and the altar shall be most holy, every one that touches the altar shall be hallowed.
38 And this [is] that which you prepare on the altar: two lambs, sons of a year, daily continually;
And these are the offerings which you shall offer upon the altar; two unblemished lambs of a year old daily on the altar continually, a constant offering.
39 you prepare the first lamb in the morning, and you prepare the second lamb between the evenings;
One lamb you shall offer in the morning, and the second lamb you shall offer in the evening.
40 and a tenth part of fine flour mixed with a fourth part of a hin of beaten oil, and a fourth part of a hin of wine [for] a drink-offering, [is] for the first lamb.
And a tenth measure of fine flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil, and a drink-offering the fourth part of a hin of wine for one lamb.
41 And you prepare the second lamb between the evenings; according to the present of the morning, and according to its drink-offering, you prepare for it, for refreshing fragrance, a fire-offering to YHWH—
And you shall offer the second lamb in the evening, after the manner of the morning-offering, and according to the drink-offering of the morning lamb; you shall offer it an offering to the Lord for a sweet smelling savor,
42 a continual burnt-offering for your generations [at] the opening of the Tent of Meeting before YHWH, to where I meet with you to speak to you there,
a perpetual sacrifice throughout your generations, at the door of the tabernacle of witness before the Lord; wherein I will be known to you from thence, so as to speak to you.
43 and I have met with the sons of Israel there, and it has been sanctified by My glory.
And I will there give orders to the children of Israel, and I will be sanctified in my glory.
44 And I have sanctified the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and I sanctify Aaron and his sons for being priests to Me,
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 have dwelt in the midst of the sons of Israel, and have become their God,
And I will be called upon among the children of Israel, and will be their God.
46 and they have known that I [am] their God YHWH, who has brought them out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell in their midst; I [am] their God YHWH.”
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.
