Exodus 29

1 “This is what you must do to dedicate Aaron and his sons to serve me [by being] priests: Select one young bull and two rams that do not have any defects.

١ وَهَذَا مَا تَقُومُ بِهِ لِتَكْرِيسِ هَرُونَ وَبَنِيهِ لِيَكُونُوا كَهَنَةً لِي: خُذْ عِجْلاً وَكَبْشَيْنِ خَالِيَيْنِ مِنْ أَيِّ عَيْبٍ.

2 Bake three [kinds of bread] using finely-ground wheat flour, but without yeast: Bake some loaves that do not have any olive oil in them, bake some loaves that have olive oil in the dough, and bake some thin wafers that will be smeared with olive oil [after they are baked].

٢ وَتُعِدُّ مِنْ دَقِيقِ الْقَمْحِ خُبْزَ فَطِيرٍ وَكَعْكاً مَعْجُوناً بِالزَّيْتِ، وَرِقَاقَ فَطِيرٍ مَدْهُونَةً بِزَيْتٍ،

3 Put them in a basket and offer them [to me] when you sacrifice the young bull and the two rams.

٣ وَتَضَعُهَا فِي سَلَّةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ، وَتُقَدِّمُهَا فِي السَّلَّةِ مَعَ العِجْلِ وَالكَبْشَيْنِ.

4 Take Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the Sacred Tent, and wash them [ritually].

٤ ثُمَّ تُحْضِرُ هَرُونَ وَبَنِيهِ إِلَى بَابِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ، وَتَدَعُهُمْ يَغْتَسِلُونَ بِمَاءٍ.

5 Then put the special clothes on Aaron—the long-sleeved tunic/gown, the robe that will be worn underneath the sacred apron, the sacred apron, the sacred pouch, and the sash/waistband.

٥ وَتُلْبِسُ هَرُونَ الْقَمِيصَ وَالْجُبَّةَ وَالرِّدَاءَ وَالصُّدْرَةَ وَتَشُدُّ الرِّدَاءَ عَلَيْهِ بِالْحِزَامِ الْمُطَرَّزِ.

6 Place the turban on his head, and fasten to the turban the ornament that has the words ‘Dedicated to Yahweh’ engraved on it.

٦ وَتَضَعُ الْعِمَامَةَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ وَتُثَبِّتُ عَلَيْهَا الإِكْلِيلَ الْمُقَدَّسَ.

7 Then take the oil and pour some on his head to (dedicate him/set him apart).

٧ وَتَأْخُذُ دُهْنَ الْمَسْحَةِ وَتَسْكُبُهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ وَتَمْسَحُهُ تَكْرِيساً لَهُ،

8 Then bring his sons and put the long-sleeved tunics/gowns on them.

٨ ثُمَّ تُحْضِرُ بَنِيهِ وَتُلْبِسُهُمْ أَقْمِصَتَهُمْ الْمُطَرَّزَةَ،

9 Put the sashes/waistbands around their waists and the caps on their heads. That is the ritual by which you are to (dedicate them/set them apart) to be priests. Aaron and his male descendants must serve me [by being] priests forever.

٩ وَأَحْزِمَتَهُمْ فَيُكَرَّسُونَ كَهَنَةً فَرِيضَةً لَهُمْ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. بِهَذِهِ الطَّرِيقَةِ تُكَرِّسُ هَرُونَ وَبَنِيهِ كَهَنَةً.

10 “Then bring the young bull to the entrance of the Sacred Tent. Tell Aaron and his sons to put their hands on the head of the young bull.

١٠ ثُمَّ أَحْضِرِ الْعِجْلَ أَمَامَ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ، لِيَضَعَ هَرُونُ وَبَنُوهُ أَيْدِيَهُمْ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ.

11 Then, while they do that, kill the young bull [by slitting its throat], and catch/drain the blood in a bowl.

١١ فَتَذْبَحُ الْعِجْلَ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ عِنْدَ بَابِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ.

12 Take some of that blood with your finger and smear it on the projections of the altar. Throw/Splash the rest of the blood against the base of the altar.

١٢ وَتَأْخُذُ مِنْ دَمِ الْعِجْلِ بِإِصْبَعِكَ، وَتَضَعُهُ عَلَى قُرُونِ الْمَذْبَحِ، وَتَصُبُّ بَقِيَّةَ الدَّمِ عِنْدَ قَاعِدَةِ الْمَذْبَحِ.

13 Take all the fat that covers the inner organs of the young bull, the best part of the liver, and the two kidneys with the fat on them, and burn all these on the altar [as an offering to me].

١٣ ثُمَّ تَأْخُذُ جَمِيعَ الشَّحْمِ الَّذِي يُغَشِّي الْجَوْفَ، وَزِيَادَةَ الكَبِدِ وَالْكُلْيَتَيْنِ وَمَا عَلَيْهَا مِنْ شَحْمٍ، وَتَحْرِقُهَا فَوْقَ الْمَذْبَحِ.

14 But the meat of the young bull and its hide and intestines must be burned outside the camp. That will be an offering to forgive the guilt of your sins.

١٤ وَأَمَّا لَحْمُ الْعِجْلِ وَجِلْدُهُ وَرَوْثُهُ، فَتَحْرِقُهَا خَارِجَ الْمُخَيَّمِ، فَإِنَّهُ ذَبِيحَةُ خَطِيئَةٍ.

15 “Then select one of the rams, and tell Aaron and his sons to put their hands on the head of the ram.

١٥ وَتَأْخُذُ أَحَدَ الْكَبْشَيْنِ لِيَضَعَ هَرُونُ وَبَنُوهُ أَيْدِيَهُمْ عَلَيْهِ.

16 Then kill the ram [by slitting its throat]. Catch/Drain some of the blood and splash it against all four sides of the altar.

١٦ تَذْبَحُ الْكَبْشَ، وتَأْخُذُ مِنْ دَمِهِ وَتَرُشُّهُ عَلَى الْمَذْبَحِ.

17 Then cut the ram into pieces. Wash its inner organs and its rear legs and put those with the head

١٧ وَتَقْطَعُ الْكَبْشَ إِلَى قِطَعٍ، وَتَغْسِلُ أَعْضَاءَهُ الدَّاخِلِيَّةَ وَأَكَارِعَهُ وَتَضَعُهَا مَعَ رَأْسِ الْكَبْشِ وَقِطَعِهِ عَلَى الْمَذْبَحِ.

18 and burn those pieces [completely] on the altar with the rest of the ram. That will be an offering to me, Yahweh, and the smell will please me.

١٨ وَتَحْرِقُ كَامِلَ الْكَبْشِ عَلَى الْمَذْبَحِ، فَيَكُونُ مُحْرَقَةً لِلرَّبِّ لِنَيْلِ رِضَاهُ. هُوَ قُرْبَانُ مُحْرَقَةٍ لِلرَّبِّ.

19 “Take the other ram [that was selected for these rituals], and tell Aaron and his sons to put their hands on the ram’s head.

١٩ ثُمَّ تَأْخُذُ الْكَبْشَ الثَّانِي لِيَضَعَ هَرُونُ وَبَنُوهُ أَيْدِيَهُمْ عَلَيْهِ.

20 Then kill the ram by slitting its throat, and drain the blood [into a bowl]. Smear some of the blood on the lobe of the right ears of Aaron and his sons, and on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet. Throw/Splash the rest of the blood against the four sides of the altar.

٢٠ ثُمَّ تَذْبَحُهُ وَتَأْخُذُ مِنْ دَمِهِ وَتَضَعُهُ عَلَى شَحْمَاتِ آذَانِ هَرُونَ وَبَنِيهِ الْيُمْنَى، وَكَذِلكَ عَلَى أَبَاهِمِ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَأَرْجُلِهِمِ الْيُمْنَى، ثُمَّ تَرُشُّ الدَّمَ عَلَى الْمَذْبَحِ مِنْ كُلِّ نَاحِيَةٍ.

21 Wipe up some of the blood that is on the altar, mix it with some of the oil for anointing, and sprinkle it on Aaron and his clothes, and on his sons and their clothes. By doing that, you will dedicate them and their clothes [to me].

٢١ وَتَأْخُذُ مِنَ الدَّمِ الَّذِي عَلَى الْمَذْبَحِ، وَمِنْ دُهْنِ الْمَسْحَةِ، وَتُقَطِّرُ مِنْهُ عَلَى هَرُونَ وَبَنِيهِ وَعَلَى ثِيَابِهِمْ، فَيَتَقَدَّسُونَ هُمْ وَثِيَابُهُمْ لِلرَّبِّ.

22 “Also, cut off the ram’s fat and its fat tail and the fat that covers the inner organs, the best part of the liver, the two kidneys with the fat on them, and the right thigh.

٢٢ ثُمَّ تَأْخُذُ شَحْمَ الْكَبْشِ وَإِلْيَتَهُ وَالشَّحْمَ الَّذِي يُغَشِّي أَعْضَاءَهُ الدَّاخِلِيَّةَ، وَالْمَرَارَةَ وَالْكُلْيَتَيْنِ وَمَا عَلَيْهِمَا مِنْ شَحْمٍ، وَالْكَتِفَ الْيُمْنَى لأَنَّهُ كَبْشُ تَكْرِيسٍ.

23 Take also one of each of the kinds of bread [that was baked]—one made with no oil, one with oil, and one thin wafer.

٢٣ وَتَأْخُذُ رَغِيفَ خُبْزٍ وَاحِداً، وَكَعْكَةً وَاحِدَةً مَعْجُونَةً بِالزَّيْتِ، وَرُقَاقَةً وَاحِدَةً مِنْ سَلَّةِ الْفَطِيرِ الَّتِي قَدَّمْتَهَا أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ.

24 Put all these things in the hands of Aaron and his sons. [Then tell them to] lift them up [high] to dedicate them to me.

٢٤ وَتَضَعُهَا كُلَّهَا فِي أَيْدِي هَرُونَ وَبَنِيهِ لِيُرَجِّحُوهَا أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ.

25 Then take them from their hands and burn them on the altar, on top of the other things [that were placed there]. That [also] will be an offering to me, and its smell will please me.

٢٥ ثُمَّ تَأْخُذُهَا مِنْ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَتُوْقِدُهَا عَلَى الْمَذْبَحِ فَوْقَ الْمُحْرَقَةِ لِتَكُونَ رَائِحَةَ رِضًى أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ. هُوَ قُرْبَانُ مُحْرَقَةٍ لِلرَّبِّ.

26 Then take the meat of the ribs of the second ram that was killed, and lift it up [high] as an offering to me. But then this part of the animal will be for you [to eat].

٢٦ وَتَأْخُذُ مِنَ ثَمَّ صَدْرَ كَبْشِ تَكْرِيسِ هَرُونَ وَتُرَجِّحُهُ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ فَيَكُونُ قِسْطَكَ مِنَ الذَّبِيحَةِ.

27 Then take the meat of the ribs, the other thigh of the first ram that was sacrificed to (dedicate/set apart) the priests, and the ram whose other parts were lifted high to show that they were an offering to me; and set the meat of the ribs and thigh apart for Aaron and his sons, for them to eat.

٢٧ وَعَلَيْكَ أَنْ تُقَدِّسَ صَدْرَ ذَبِيحَةِ التَّرْجِيحِ، وَكَتِفَ ذَبِيحَةِ تَكْرِيسِ هَرُونَ وَبَنِيهِ الَّذِي رَجَّحْتَهُ،

28 In the future, whenever the Israeli people present to me, Yahweh, offerings to maintain fellowship with me, the ribs and the thigh [of animals that they sacrifice] will be for Aaron and his male descendants [to eat].

٢٨ فَيَكُونَانِ قِسطَ هَرُونَ وَبَنِيهِ. فَرِيضَةً أَبَدِيَّةً يُقَدِّمُهَا بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ نَصِيبَ الْكَهَنَةِ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، مِنْ ذَبَائِحِ سَلامَتِهِمْ تَقْدِمَةً لِلرَّبِّ.

29 “After Aaron [dies], the special clothes that he wore will belong to his sons. They are to wear those clothes when they are (set apart/dedicated) [to become priests].

٢٩ وَاحْتَفِظُوا بِثِيَابِ هَرُونَ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ لِتَكْرِيسِ مَنْ يَخْلُفُهُ مِنْ نَسْلِهِ وَمَسْحِهِ.

30 Aaron’s son who becomes The Supreme Priest and enters the Sacred Tent and performs rituals in the Holy Place must [stay in the Sacred Tent], wearing these special clothes, for seven days.

٣٠ وَعَلَى الابْنِ الَّذِي يَخْلُفُهُ كَرَئِيسِ كَهَنَةٍ، أَنْ يَلْبَسَهَا سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ عِنْدَمَا يَدْخُلُ إِلَى خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ لِيَخْدِمَ فِي الْقُدْسِ.

31 “Take the meat of the other ram that was sacrificed to (set apart/dedicate) Aaron and his sons, and boil it in the courtyard.

٣١ وَتَأْخُذُ لَحْمَ كَبْشِ التَّكْرِيسِ وَتَطْبُخُهُ فِي مَكَانٍ مُقَدَّسٍ.

32 After it is cooked, Aaron and his sons must eat it, along with the bread that is left in the basket, at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.

٣٢ وَعَلَى هَرُونَ وَبَنِيهِ أَنْ يَأْكُلُوا لَحْمَ الْكَبْشِ، وَالْخُبْزَ الَّذِي فِي السَّلَّةِ عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ.

33 They must eat the meat of the ram that was sacrificed to forgive them for [their sins] when they were dedicated to do this work. They are the only ones who are permitted to eat this meat. [Those who are not priests are not allowed to eat it], because it is dedicated to me.

٣٣ هُمْ وَحْدَهُمْ يَأْكُلُونَ مِنْهُ لأَنَّهُ قَدْ كُفِّرَ بِهِ عَنْهُمْ عِنْدَ تَكْرِيسِهِمْ وَتَقْدِيسِهِمْ، وَلا يَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ أَحَدٌ آخَرُ لأَنَّهُ مُقَدَّسٌ.

34 If any of this meat or some of the bread is not eaten that night, no one is permitted to eat any of it the next day. It must be completely burned, because it is sacred/dedicated to me.

٣٤ أَمَّا إِذَا تَبَقَّى شَيْءٌ مِنْ لَحْمِ التَّكْرِيسِ أَوْ مِنَ الْخُبْزِ حَتَّى الصَّبَاحِ، فَعَلَيْكَ أَنْ تَحْرِقَهُ بِالنَّارِ لَا يُؤْكَلُ مِنْهُ لأَنَّهُ مُقَدَّسٌ.

35 “Those are the rituals that you(sg) must perform during those seven days when you dedicate Aaron and his sons for this work. You must do everything that I have commanded you.

٣٥ هَكَذَا تَصْنَعُ لِهَرُونَ وَبَنِيهِ بِمُوجِبِ كُلِّ مَا أَمَرْتُكَ، إِذْ تُكَرِّسُهُمْ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ.

36 Each of those seven days you must also sacrifice a young bull as an offering to me, in order that I may forgive sins. Also, you must make another offering (to make the altar pure in my sight/in order that I will consider the altar to be pure). You must also anoint the altar with olive oil, to (set it apart/dedicate it).

٣٦ وَتُقَدِّمُ خِلالَهَا ثَوْراً فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ ذَبِيحَةَ خَطِيئَةٍ لأَجْلِ الْكَفَّارَةِ. وَتُطَهِّرُ الْمَذْبَحَ بِتَكْفِيرِكِ عَلَيْهِ. وَتَمْسَحُهُ لِتَقْدِيسِهِ.

37 Perform these rituals every day for seven days, to (set apart/dedicate) the altar and make it pure. If you do not do that, anyone or anything that touches the altar will become taboo.

٣٧ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ تُقَدِّمُ ذَبِيحَةَ كَفَّارَةٍ عَلَى الْمَذْبَحِ وَتُقَدِّسُهُ، فَيَكُونُ الْمَذْبَحُ قُدْسَ أَقْدَاسٍ. وَكُلُّ مَا يَمَسُّهُ يُصْبِحُ مُقَدَّساً.

38 “You must also sacrifice lambs and burn them on the altar. Each of those [seven] days you must sacrifice two lambs.

٣٨ وَإِلَيْكَ مَا تُقَدِّمُهُ عَلَى الْمَذْبَحِ: حَمَلانِ حَوْلِيَّانِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ بِصُورَةٍ مُسْتَمِرَّةٍ.

39 One lamb must be sacrificed in the morning, and one must be sacrificed in the evening.

٣٩ تُقَدِّمُ أَحَدَ الْحَمَلَيْنِ فِي الصَّبَاحِ، وَتُقَدِّمُ الثَّانِي فِي الْمَسَاءِ.

40 With the first lamb, also offer (2 pounds/1 kilogram) of finely-ground wheat flour mixed with one quart/liter of the best kind of olive oil, and one quart/liter of wine as an offering.

٤٠ وَتُقَدِّمُ مَعَ كُلٍّ مِنْهُمَا عُشْراً (لِتْرَيْنِ وَنِصْفَ اللِّتْرِ) مِنَ الدَّقِيقِ الْمَعْجُونِ بِرُبْعِ الْهِينِ (لِتْرٍ وَنِصْفِ اللِّتْرِ) مِنْ زَيْتِ الزَّيْتُونِ النَّقِيِّ، بَعْدَ أَنْ تَسْكُبَ عَلَيْهِ رُبْعَ الْهِينِ (لِتْراً وَنِصْفَ الْلِّتْرِ) مِنَ الْخَمْرِ.

41 In the evening, when you sacrifice the other lamb, offer the same amounts of flour, olive oil, and wine as you did in the morning. This will be an offering to me, Yahweh, that will be burned, and its smell will please me.

٤١ وَتُقَرِّبُ الْحَمَلَ الثَّانِي فِي الْمَسَاءِ مَعَ تَقْدِمَةِ دَقِيقٍ وَسَكِيبِ خَمْرٍ، كَمَا فَعَلْتَ فِي الصَّبَاحِ، لِتَكُونَ التَّقْدِمَةُ رَائِحَةَ رِضًى. هِيَ قُرْبَانُ مُحْرَقَةٍ لِلرَّبِّ.

42 You [and your descendants] must continue making these offerings to me, Yahweh, throughout all future generations. You must offer them at the entrance of the Sacred Tent. That is where I will meet with you and speak to you.

٤٢ فَتَكُونُ مُحْرَقَةً دَائِمَةً أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ مَدَى أَجْيَالِكُمْ. تُقَدَّمُ عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ، حَيْثُ أَجْتَمِعُ بِكُمْ لأُكَلِّمَكَ هُنَاكَ.

43 That is where I will meet with the Israeli people, and the brilliant light of my presence will cause that place to be holy/sacred.

٤٣ وَأَجْتَمِعُ هُنَاكَ أَيْضاً بِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَيَتَقَدَّسُ الْمَكَانُ بِمَجْدِي.

44 I will dedicate the Sacred Tent and the altar. I will also dedicate Aaron and his sons to serve me [by being] priests.

٤٤ فَأُقَدِّسُ خَيْمَةَ الاجْتِمَاعِ وَالْمَذْبَحَ، كَمَا أُقَدِّسُ هَرُونَ وَبَنِيهِ أَيْضاً.

45 I will live among the Israeli people, and I will be their God.

٤٥ وَأَسْكُنُ بَيْنَ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَكُونُ لَهُمْ إِلَهاً،

46 They will know that I, Yahweh their God, am the one who brought them out of Egypt in order that I might live among them.”

٤٦ فَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّنِي أَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُهُمُ الَّذِي أَخْرَجَهُمْ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ لأُقِيمَ فِي وَسْطِهِمْ. أَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُهُمْ.
