< 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 this [is] the thing that thou shalt do to them to hallow them, to minister to me in the priest's office: Take one young bullock, and two rams without blemish,
2 and unleavened bread, and unleavened cakes anointed with oil; you make them of fine wheat flour,
And unleavened bread, and cakes unleavened tempered with oil, and wafers unleavened anointed with oil; [of] wheat flour shalt thou make them.
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 thou shalt put them into one basket, and bring them in the basket, with the bullock 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 Aaron and his sons thou shalt bring to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shalt 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 thou shalt take the garments, and put upon Aaron, the coat, and the robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breast-plate, and gird him with the curious girdle of the ephod:
6 and have set the turban on his head, and have put the holy crown on the turban,
And thou shalt put the miter upon his head, and put the holy crown upon the miter.
7 and have taken the anointing oil, and have poured [it] on his head, and have anointed him.
Then shalt thou take the anointing oil, and pour [it] upon his head, and anoint him.
8 And you bring his sons near, and have clothed them [with] coats,
And thou shalt bring his sons, and put coats upon 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 thou shalt gird them with girdles (Aaron and his sons) and put the bonnets on them; and the priest's office shall be theirs for a perpetual statute: and thou shalt consecrate Aaron and 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 thou shalt cause a bullock to be brought before the tabernacle of the congregation; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the bullock.
11 And you have slaughtered the bullock before YHWH, at the opening of the Tent of Meeting,
And thou shalt kill the bullock before the LORD, [by] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
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 thou shalt take of the blood of the bullock, and put [it] upon the horns of the altar with thy finger, and pour all the blood beside the bottom 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 thou shalt take all the fat that covereth the inwards, and the caul [that is] above the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that [is] upon them, and burn [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 bullock, and his skin, and his dung shalt thou burn with fire without the camp: it [is] a sin-offering.
15 And you take the first ram, and Aaron and his sons have laid their hands on the head of the ram,
Thou shalt also take one ram; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon 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 thou shalt slay the ram, and thou shalt take his blood, and sprinkle [it] around upon the altar.
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 thou shalt cut the ram in pieces, and wash the inwards of him, and his legs, and put [them] to his pieces, and to his 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 thou shalt burn the whole ram upon the altar: it [is] a burnt-offering to the LORD: it [is] a sweet savor, an offering made by fire 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 thou shalt take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon 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;
Then shalt thou kill the ram, and take of his blood, and put [it] upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and upon the tip of the right ear of his sons, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about.
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 thou shalt take of the blood that [is] upon the altar, and of the anointing oil, and sprinkle [it] upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon the garments of his sons with him: and he shall be hallowed, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons garments with him.
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,
Also thou shalt take of the ram the fat and the rump, and the fat that covereth the inwards, and the caul [above] the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that [is] upon them, and the right shoulder; for it [is] a ram of 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 loaf of bread, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer out of the basket of the unleavened bread, that [is] 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 thou shalt put all in the hands of Aaron, and in the hands of his sons; and shalt wave them [for] a wave-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 thou shalt receive them from their hands, and burn [them] upon the altar for a burnt-offering, for a sweet savor before the LORD: it [is] an offering made by fire 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 thou shalt take the breast of the ram of Aaron's consecration, and wave it [for] a wave-offering before the LORD: and it shall be thy part.
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 thou shalt sanctify the breast of the wave-offering, and the shoulder of the heave-offering, which is waved, and which is heaved up of the ram of the consecration, [even] of [that] which [is] for Aaron, and of [that] which is for 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 Aaron's and his sons' by a statute for ever, 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 sacrifice of their peace-offerings, [even] their heave-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 holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons' after him, to be anointed therein, and to be consecrated in them.
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.
[And] that son, that is priest in his stead, shall put them on seven days, when he cometh into the tabernacle of the congregation to minister in the holy [place].
31 And you take the ram of the consecration and have boiled its flesh in the holy place;
And thou shalt take the ram of the consecration, and seethe his 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 bread that [is] in the basket, [by] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
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;
And they shall eat those things with which the atonement was made, to consecrate [and] to sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat [of them], because 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 aught of the flesh of the consecration, or of the bread, shall remain till the morning, then thou shalt burn the remainder with fire: it shall not be eaten, because it [is] holy.
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 shalt thou do to Aaron, and to his sons, according to all [things] which I have commanded thee: seven days shalt thou consecrate them.
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 thou shalt offer every day a bullock [for] a sin-offering for atonement; and thou shalt cleanse the altar, when thou hast made an atonement for it, and thou shalt anoint it, 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 thou shalt make an atonement for the altar, and sanctify it; and it shall be an altar most holy: whatever toucheth the altar shall be holy.
38 And this [is] that which you prepare on the altar: two lambs, sons of a year, daily continually;
Now this [is that] which thou shalt offer upon the altar; two lambs of the first year, day by day continually.
39 you prepare the first lamb in the morning, and you prepare the second lamb between the evenings;
The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; and the other lamb thou shalt offer at 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 with the one lamb a tenth-portion of flour mingled with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil; and the fourth part of a hin of wine [for] a drink-offering.
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 the other lamb thou shalt offer at evening, and shalt do thereto according to the meat-offering of the morning, and according to the drink-offering thereof, for a sweet savor, an offering made by fire to the LORD.
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,
[This shall be] a continual burnt-offering throughout your generations [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD: where I will meet you to speak there to thee.
43 and I have met with the sons of Israel there, and it has been sanctified by My glory.
And there I will meet with the children of Israel, and [the tabernacle] shall be sanctified by 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 the congregation, and the altar: I will sanctify also both Aaron and his sons, to minister to me in the priest's office.
45 and I have dwelt in the midst of the sons of Israel, and have become their God,
And I will dwell 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, that brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them: I [am] the LORD their God.
