9 You shall wrap sashes around them, and bind headbands on them: and they shall have the priesthood by a perpetual statute: and you shall consecrate Aaron and 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 "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.

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.

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 calf, and his skin, and his dung, shall you burn with fire without the camp; for it is an [offering on account] of sin.

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 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.

19 "You shall take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons shall lay 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.

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 one cake [made] with oil, and one cake from the basket of unleavened bread set forth 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 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.

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 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 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 "The holy garments of Aaron shall be for his sons after him, to be anointed in them, and to be consecrated 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 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.

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 "You shall take the ram of consecration, and boil its flesh in a holy place.

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 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 [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 "You shall do so to Aaron, and to his sons, according to all that I have commanded you. You shall consecrate them seven days.

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 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.

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.

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.

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 The one lamb you shall offer in the morning; and the other lamb you shall offer at evening:

One lamb you shall offer in the morning, and the second lamb you shall offer 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 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 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 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 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.

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 There I will meet with the children of Israel; and the place shall be sanctified by my glory.

And I will there give orders to the children of Israel, and I will be sanctified in 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.

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 I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God.

And I will be called upon among the children of Israel, and 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 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.
