Exodus 29
1 "This is the thing that you shall do to them to make them holy, to minister to me in the office of cohen: take one young bull and two rams without blemish,
This is what you are to do to make them holy, to do the work of priests to me: Take one young ox and two male sheep, without any mark on them,
2 unleavened bread, unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil: you shall make them of fine wheat flour.
And unleavened bread, and unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and thin unleavened cakes on which oil has been put, made of the best bread-meal;
3 You shall put them into one basket, and bring them in the basket, with the bull and the two rams.
Put these in a basket and take them, with the ox and the two sheep.
4 You shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and shall wash them with water.
And let Aaron and his sons come to the door of the Tent of meeting, and there let them be washed 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;
Take the robes, and put the coat and the dress and the ephod and the priest's bag on Aaron; put the band of needlework round him,
6 and you shall set the turban on his head, and put the holy crown on the turban.
And let the head-dress be placed on his head and the holy crown on the head-dress.
7 Then you shall take the anointing oil, and pour it on his head, and anoint him.
Then take the oil and put it on his head.
8 You shall bring his sons, and put coats on them.
And take his sons and put their robes on them;
9 You shall wrap sashes around them, and bind headbands on them: and they shall have the office of cohen by a perpetual statute: and you shall consecrate Aaron and his sons.
And put the linen bands round Aaron and his sons, and the head-dresses on them, to make them priests by my order for ever: so you are to make Aaron and his sons holy to me.
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.
Then let the ox be taken in front of the Tent of meeting: and let Aaron and his sons put their hands on its head.
11 You shall kill the bull before the LORD, at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
And you are to put the ox to death before the Lord 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.
Then take some of the blood of the ox, and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger, draining out all the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.
13 You shall take all the fat that covers the entrails, the cover of the liver, the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, and burn them on the altar.
And take all the fat covering the inside of the ox, and the fat joining the liver and the two kidneys with the fat round them, and let them be burned 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.
But the flesh of the ox and its skin and its waste parts are to be burned outside the circle of the tents, for 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.
Then take one of the sheep, and let Aaron and his sons put their hands on its head.
16 You shall kill the ram, and you shall take its blood, and sprinkle it around on the altar.
Then let it be put to death, so that the sides of the altar are marked with its blood.
17 You shall cut the ram into its pieces, and wash its entrails, and its legs, and put them with its pieces, and with its head.
Then the sheep is to be cut up into its parts, and after washing its legs and its inside parts, you are to put them with the parts and the head,
18 You shall burn the whole ram on the altar: it is a burnt offering to the LORD; it is a pleasant aroma, an offering made by fire to the LORD.
And let them all be burned on the altar as a burned offering to the Lord: a sweet smell, an offering made by fire to the Lord.
19 "You shall take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram.
Then take the other sheep; and after Aaron and his sons have put their hands on its head,
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 around on the altar.
You are to put the sheep to death, and take some of its blood and put it on the point of Aaron's right ear, and of the right ears of his sons, and on the thumbs of their right hands and the great toes of their right feet, dropping the rest of the blood on the sides of the altar.
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.
Then take some of the blood on the altar, and the oil, and put it on Aaron and his robes and on his sons and on their robes, so that he and his robes and his sons and their robes may be made holy.
22 Also you shall take some of the ram's fat, the fat tail, the fat that covers the entrails, 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),
Then take the fat of the sheep, the fat tail, the fat covering the insides, and the fat joining the liver and the two kidneys with the fat round them, and the right leg; for by the offering of this sheep they are to be marked out as priests:
23 and one loaf of bread, one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer out of the basket of unleavened bread that is before the LORD.
And take one bit of bread and one cake of oiled bread and one thin cake out of the basket of unleavened bread which is before the Lord:
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 the LORD.
And put them all on the hands of Aaron and of his sons, to be waved for a wave offering before the Lord.
25 You shall take them from their hands, and burn them on the altar on the burnt offering, for a pleasant aroma before the LORD: it is an offering made by fire to the LORD.
Then take them from their hands, and let them be burned on the burned offering on the altar, a sweet smell before the Lord, an offering made by fire to the Lord.
26 "You shall take the breast of Aaron's ram of consecration, and wave it for a wave offering before the LORD: and it shall be your portion.
Then take the breast of Aaron's sheep, waving it before the Lord; and it is to be your part of the offering.
27 You shall sanctify the breast of the wave offering, and the thigh of the wave 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:
So you are to make holy the breast of the sheep which is waved and the leg which is lifted up on high, that is, of the sheep which is offered for Aaron and 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 wave offering: and it shall be a wave offering from the children of Israel of the sacrifices of their peace offerings, even their wave offering to the LORD.
And it will be their part as a right for ever from the children of Israel, it is a special offering from the children of Israel, made from their peace-offerings, a special offering lifted up to the Lord.
29 "The holy garments of Aaron shall be for his sons after him, to be anointed in them, and to be consecrated in them.
And Aaron's holy robes will be used by his sons after him; they will put them on when they are made priests.
30 Seven days shall the son who is cohen in his place put them on, when he comes into the Tent of Meeting to minister in the holy place.
For seven days the son who becomes priest in his place will put them on when he comes into the Tent of meeting to do the work of the holy place.
31 "You shall take the ram of consecration, and boil its flesh in a holy place.
Then take the sheep of the wave offering and let its flesh be cooked in water 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.
And let Aaron and his sons make a meal of it, with the bread 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.
All those things which were used as offerings to take away sin, and to make them holy to be priests, they may have for food: but no one who is not a priest may have them, for they are holy food.
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.
And if any of the flesh of the offering or of the bread is over till the morning, let it be burned with fire; it is not to be used for food, for it is holy.
35 "You shall do so to Aaron, and to his sons, according to all that I have commanded you. You shall consecrate them seven days.
All these things you are to do to Aaron and his sons as I have given you orders: for seven days the work of making them priests is to go on.
36 Every day you shall 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.
Every day an ox is to be offered as a sin-offering, to take away sins: and by this offering on it, you will make the altar clean from sin; and you are to put oil on it and make it holy.
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.
For seven days you are to make offerings for the altar and make it holy, so that it may become completely holy, and anything touching it will become holy.
38 "Now this is that which you shall offer on the altar: two lambs a year old day by day continually, a continual burnt offering.
Now this is the offering which you are to make on the altar: two lambs in their first year, every day regularly.
39 The one lamb you shall offer in the morning; and the other lamb you shall offer at evening:
One lamb is to be offered in the morning and the other in the 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.
And with the one lamb, a tenth part of an ephah of the best meal, mixed with a fourth part of a hin of clear 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 pleasant aroma, an offering made by fire to the LORD.
And the other lamb is to be offered in the evening, and with it the same meal offering and drink offering, for a sweet smell, an offering made by fire to the Lord.
42 It shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the Tent of Meeting before the LORD, where I will meet with you, to speak there to you.
This is to be a regular burned offering made from generation to generation, at the door of the Tent of meeting before the Lord, where I will come face to face with you and have talk with you.
43 There I will meet with the children of Israel; and the place shall be sanctified by my glory.
There I will come face to face with the children of Israel, and the Tent will be made holy 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 office of cohen.
I will make holy the Tent of meeting and the altar: and Aaron and his sons I will make holy, to be my priests
45 I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God.
Among the children of Israel I will make my living-place, and I will be their God.
46 They shall know that I am the LORD their God, who brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I might dwell among them: I am the LORD their God.
And they will see that I am the Lord their God, who took them out of the land of Egypt, so that I might be ever with them: I am the Lord their God.
